Comment on Frank’s Wild Years by Amy

I thought you were going in a totally different direction with Frank. I think “FRANK” IS social media’s new name. (What reference did I miss???) But, in my miss, I think I like the other definition. “Frank” – being open, honest, plain, simple (or complex), personal, real. Frank.

Frank is the new advertising. Frank is the new corporation. Frank is the new approach to marketing. (Frankmedia.org is available – should I grab it?)

Last night I decided while watching Flatliners that you’re Oliver Platt. I hope this helps.

Doing a “super” role in Fidelio was a great time. As you said, the Keller Auditorium has seen a lot of time, but it is still the best house in Portland and seeing it from backstage and on-stage was a great opportunity. Opera is nearly always entertaining, but to hear it from up-close and see the making was unique. I recommend that, if you like the music, everyone should try it.

You are so funny…I wonder if you might have found your next career…is there a “Marching About” certificate or course of study? I think you would be extraordinarily good at it!

Comment on Selfish Act: Blogging by Zane Safrit

Zane Safrit — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:26:21 +0000

Blogging like all self-expression or creative acts is selfish. I can’t think of any blogger who’s forced to blog with the proverbial or metaphorical gun-to-the-head.

Having said that, the selfishness is what’s shared universally. It’s part of that which connects bloggers to their audience. The ‘I’ that’s expressing is understood/empathized/identified by the ‘I’ that’s reading.

And it grows from there with good content, useful content, insightful content, amusing content…content that expands our world just a bit, horizontally or vertically.

It’s why bloggers and our community are a bit impatient when we sense dishonesty or inauthentic content or authors, stealth bloggers, etc. This (warning: going maudlin now) very unique and precious tool that allows us to connect with a lot of people by sharing common experiences…should not be abused by those who can’t or won’t be honest. And we can’t let them ruin this ‘moment’ for us.

Yeah. Blogging’s selfish. And isn’t it great.
