Does Online Journalism Have a Future? -- share your thoughts

e a r c a n d y :

1. A guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron". Another person in New York emailed the MP3 to me in Nov. 2004. The narcissist in me loves the lyrics and the song itself is pretty darn catchy. Don't you think?

2. In 2005 I had a weekly radio show on Pirate Cat Radio 87.9 FM in San Francisco from 6-8p.m. on Friday nights. You can listen online from anywhere in the world. Or just check out our podcast.

3. Also, listen to my LAUNCHcast station

    We Faced Our Fears at Burning Man

    Chris was a Burning Man virgin this year. giant flower car, closer(Not me, My virgin burn was 1999 -- you can read my journal about it. I also went out to the desert in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005...) During our drive to Nevada, I asked him what he most feared about Burning Man.

    "Seeing naked guys kinda freaks me out," he said.

    "Oh, you mean dude-ity?" I said.

    "Yeah, I guess."

    We arrived on the playa at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday after driving for over 13 hours (it's a much longer drive from Los Angeles, than from SF!) It was the middle of a dust storm, and we were freezing cold and tired and both had to pee.

    It was very hard to find a space to camp. In the past, I had almost always camped with a group of friends in a theme camp with a reserved spot. We drove around for at least a half hour, being turned away from every spot, until we arrived at 4:30 and Hope.

    We set up camp in the dust storm and it wasn't until much later that we viewed the theme camp directly across the street: called Our Lady of Schlongs: Meat Inspection camp.

    Talk about Chris facing his fears!!!

    Needless to say over the course of the week, they had a lot of visitors and we saw a lot of schlongs. They gave us the best bloody marys I have ever had. So spicy and delicious.

    Check out all my photos from Burning Man 2006.

    Tell me: What are you most afraid of? Have you faced any of your fears this summer?


    She certainly has some crazy mixed-up:
