Brownbloggers west

Christian Crumlish

"Nobody really talks about antiracism, especially in the blogosphere." - Marian Douglas

I remember that my favorite session at SXSW this year was Blogging While Black. Today, not surprisingly, I'm finding the "brownbloggers" session to be again one of the best. There also appears to be much better, much stronger nonwhite representation here (as compared with SXSW).

Note to self: check out the Coming out Colored and Brainbytes websites.

Hi Xian,

Guess I didn't actually meet you personally at blogher ... but just wanted to correct the brainbytes URL - as www.brainbytes.com, and if you are a guy, sorry that i couldn't include you in the
'blogher: where the boys are' interviews. But you can always add it online on brainbytes or on Dan Gillmor's bayosphere.com

Mini.

Random quickies: Adding jwz, noting Tinderbox 2.0, blurbing an RSS article, thinking about Mediajunkie.com (Miscellany)
All Jon Ames all the time: It's a small web but I wouldn't want to paint it. Yesterday I get notifed that Jonathan Ames, a friend from way back, will be appearing on David Letterman (again) tonight (Wednesday, July 30). In that message he also mentioned that his website has been updated (I liked his old Flash... (Memes)

Blogging Not "All That": To some people the flourishing of the blog meme is annoying. It's not just the sound of the word, there's also the ascendancy of a certain model of writing on the web. I've sometimes mentioned my breathing room experiment and how it was a sort of daily (if possible) meditation. An... (Memes)
The Case Against Blogging: Sometimes you have to do something fully before you decide you do not want to do it. Browsing around today led me from diveintomark to zeldman and ended up reading burningbird's farewell address. Despite a spelling peeve of mine ("compliment" where "complement" is called for), she makes a very interesting point... (Memes)
PEP (Personal Expression Platform): For several years now I've been slowly spec'ing out an ideal personal publishing platform for posting a peck of pickled peppers.... Uh, sorry. No, actually I mean a system with a well designed content database at the core and a great deal of flexibility both in how to submit content (client,... (Best Practices)

"Market Fundamentalism": I'm starting to notice this term (market fundamentalism) cropping up more and more from the left. Did it take severe accounting scandals and a precipitous drop in the Dow to bring forth the idea that this flavor of absolutism has become gospel on the right? Speaking of the scandals, I remember...

Vanity Domain Names?: I noticed today that Scott Rosenberg's blog can be reached by pointing to http://rosenberg.salon.com/ as an alternative to the serial-number address we all get. Is that a perk for Salon employees only, I wonder, or is there a way to make that possible for us, the great unwashed? I'm thinking blogistan.salon.com... (Salon Bloggers)
"Blog This!" for Radio: One thing I love about doing blogs is the troll effect. If I post something incorrect or incomplete, someone is sure to come along and hip me to the truth.
