So some bright spark came up with the idea for Good News Friday, a way of besting the January blues.. not sure if it’ll do that but hey, it’s worth a shot..
The story is if you have spread good news and vibes..
MediaExpress are letting people send out good news press releases for free..
and on Boards.ie you can do somethings similar.
Radio stations and lots of other people are still getting involved.
Good News Friday is on January 22nd 2010
Get out there and spread the good vibes!
If you’re a regular visitor to my blog you’ll know that I’m not a great sleeper, when I do sleep, Hell It’s Good! The last time that I can remember having a dream was one where I was running to catch a bus. I had been on crutches for 20 weeks at that stage.
This morning I woke up and I could remember what I had been dreaming. I was in Santa Monica, the weather was great. I was at a bar/cafe beside The Kings Heads which is on Santa Monica Boulevard about two blocks from the ocean front. I was waiting to meet Amber Benson, seemingly at this stage I had some decent experience directing films or television.
I think Amber owned or rented the Cafe, she was a bit busy and told me to go have a coffee with Adam Busch, who I hadn’t met before. We awkwardly chat while sitting on high stools at a beer garden.
Just finished my essay, I have to say its the hardest i’ve ever worked on an essay so fingers crossed I’ll do well. I’m a bit mad sometimes me! I think I work better under pressure. The last couple of times I’ve had to hand in essays for college I’ve been ill so It was always left to the very last moment.
This time we got a bit of an extension, everything to be handed in by tomorrow. Thanks to my insomnia this week and getting our video project done it ended up that I was doing it Thursday and Friday but I just couldn’t get my head around it. It wasn’t like it was way tough for anything, I just wasn’t in the right headspace for it.
So for E Society I did this:
Option 6:
“the Web 2.0 revolution is decimating the ranks of our cultural gatekeepers, as professional critics, journalists, editors, musicians, moviemakers, and other purveyors of expert information are being replaced. … For the real consequence of the Web 2.0 revolution is less culture, less reliable news, and a chaos of useless information.” (Keen, 2007: 16) What are the implications of the ‘Web 2.0 revolution’ for multimedia professionals?
Second night in a row, I can’t sleep. I’m hoping that its because I’m not in college so my routine is a bit all over the place, doesn’t help when I’ve assignments and my first exam in years next week.
A couple of years ago, I had pretty bad insomnia. I had thought of starting a blog ‘Diary of an Insomniac’, writing about what I did at night when I couldn’t sleep.
One of the things was that I started watching baseball. Being a Giants fan, this was actually quite good thanks to the time difference.
I started reading. And reading. And reading. I couldn’t get enough books. I was going through at least one book a week. Everything from Dan Brown’s first four books to ‘Oranges are the best fruit’, can’t remember who wrote that.
