If there were two identical, attractive women, one clad in nothing and the other in nothing but a hat, I bet there’s not a man reading this who wouldn’t chose the woman in the hat.
If the situation were reversed however, I daresay there’s not a woman reading this who would chose the man in the [...]

Sheer “citizen journalism,” though it has its place, is insufficient to the demands of a new way of doing journalism. It has also so far proven to be largely untenable economically. Corporate journalism is too consolidated and shareholder concerns have robbed it of its mission. At this point ad-driven lust for the “local” is a [...]

After my stunning debut in “Naked Conversations,” it looks like I’ll be in another book. This one is called “Wikinomics” and they quoted my idea for an Open-Source Israel Palestine Peace Process.
Interesting looking project. One of the authors, Michael Pilling, said, “this wiki is an online (CC-BY-NC-SA) collaborative book project - the final version is [...]

The established media, and by this I mean daily newspapers and non-specialty broadcast news organizations, are starting to pick up on Twitter. But most of the big ones-New York Times, NPR, CNN, BBC-are clearly using it solely as a promotional tool. The way you can tell that is by the fact that they do not [...]

An angel of tin
Travels through the mint,
Dragging through the sea of stalks
A net of imperfections.
Drifting through the flint,
Trailing over mountain rocks
Her net of intersections,

Made equal all directions
She gathers her scents,
Shaking loose the wind.
The scope of her collection
Exceeding that of men,
Has in time no twin,
Still, was made in time [...]

Originally published in Jane’s International Defence Review
Quarters the size of snowflakes filed the hair of breasts and bears feted the assy hills with sizzling white beans. Nudity, Shakespeare said, mirrors the ass-end of a man and this bacon was no exception. For a mole, the hole of the town [...]

I think the electronic tools of communication, publishing and interaction are just great. I use them a lot for my nonprofit work, in my writing life and the strategic use of them has become my work.
But there is simply no way to achieve electronic mimesis of pulling into a colonial Salvadoran town on a Sunday, [...]
