Vanity Fair???
Later this year, we’ll be launching a two-pronged campaign by which we hope to increase both the reach and efficiency of the blogosphere, as well as to bring pressure to bear on the media at large.....Well I guess that leaves Vinnie out?I suggested to him that, in contrast to that particular project, we try to recruit bloggers who aren’t completely deranged. He agreed that this might be an effective approach.
Actually I agree with much of what was said. Except for the insane nasty blog war part that has been going on.
But blogs have already been invented. And without the crazy part you're not gonna get any traffic that's for damn sure. And I'm sure Charles and his enemies are enjoying the traffic his little self created blog war has drawn.
Maybe we can get in on that ;)
We need more diversity and linking on blogs not more petty creation vs science crap coupled with more consolidation.
Personally I've never had a conflict with science and God. Nope never read Sagan or Leaky or Asimov or even Charles Johnson for that matter and come away with less faith.
Never found much in the bible that explains much except Jesus ,how to save your soul and live either. But I don't dislike my "the world was created in 7 days and is 6000 years old " literalist cube neighbors. Nice folk. Trust my kid with em any day.
Seriously when Charles' Science can give me an at least half proven theory on what caused the big bang. Not a hypothesis mind you. Give me a call. Until then drop the believers are nutso anti-science crap.
If you want to do the blogs a service go invent a kick ass automatic spamproof trackback system.
Because that's the important part Charles is ordinary folk getting their say. Not a few hand picked vetted PC fake ass people.
Your idea is not bad, but how many Hot Air's can there be? If you can make it work more power to ya. I'll put my crazy blog money on no.
What you thought I play with real money?
