pacificpelican.us diary on hiatus

A blog is really like a section of a newspaper.

Now, what kind of newspaper is your blog? Is it a features section? A photography or style section? A help wanted ad? Or is it a long, winding, boring, self-righteous column–your sort-of ironic revenge on all the shite columnists the mainstream media foisted on your news-craving eyes for so many years?

Or is it the “diary of a launch” blog for a site which is now a year old?

pacificpelican.us is a year old this month.

Either way, some newspapers shut sections down for periods.

So for now, this “Dan’s Diary” blog is now being temporarily shelved alongside the pacificpelican.us/podcast.

pacificpelican.us podcast #14

I’ve got podcast 14 out–it’s a trip through San Francisco, set in the Fillmore area and the Outer Richmond and packed with poignant drama and serious suspense–Will the lady talking loudly on the phone erupt in a rage as she notices my camera phone? Will the woman leering out the window the MUNI bus get out and do something about it? Will the caffeine-mad throng violently overrun the Peet’s on Fillmore?

All these questions and more answered–in pacificpelican.us podcast #14.

Actually, looking over it post-production I can’t help but think that it sort of strikes a somber note. Don’t know what to think of it really.  I’m calling it the “film noir” podcast.

My photo of the USF panel

My picture of the University of San Francisco alumni panel at a recent event, which included Jessica and other media studies alumnae, can now be found on the USF Journalism Blog; it’s referred to in the post title as “An Even Better Shot of the Panel.”

You can hear part of the discussion in this podcast.

Widgetbox.com responds to Jessica’s post

Jessica’s recent blog entry about widgetbox.com, which I had enjoyed, got a comment. She writes about it on Cat Tails:

‘I like CTOs like Dean Moses of Widgetbox.com who search Blogger to see what people are saying about their company. Here’s what Mr. Moses had to say about my post on Widgetbox.com:

“Jessica, thanks for the most entertaining constructive criticism we’ve heard all year.

We get a lot of feedback that ‘blidget’ sounds like bludger, the ball Harry Potter uses in Quidditch matches.

I like your take on it better.

Dean Moses
CTO
Widgetbox”

I think Widgetbox.com has a future my friends!’

So tags are worth burning into the system?

Tags are different than categories..I guess..
