Online Media Cultist

I’m having a ball right now, watching the vice presidential debate on MSNBC.com while also messing around with Election 2008, Twitter’s election site.

I’m reminded that if there’s a live event on with massive interest — which goes without saying for Palin v. Biden — it can be a lot of fun to dive in […]

I can’t get enough of Sarah Palin coverage. It’s a mix of high entertainment and high terror — that’s the best way I can describe it.
So in an effort to stave off thinking about the state of the economy, I’m delighted to bring you Interview Sarah Palin, where you too can interview the (shiver) […]

* Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Comedy launches
Back in June, I speculated that the future of content may come in the form of a Cavalcade. It’ll likely take some time to see how the unique partnership with […]

I’ve been, er, a little bit critical of the design of two of the largest tech blogs out there over the last few months. First I teed off on Mashable for its overuse of ads (Mashable has a lot of ads). Then I went the other way on TechCrunch late last month, singling out its […]

Spent the long weekend at the beach, a novelty for me even though I live just outside of Los Angeles. Of course, I still managed a goodly amount of online media cultery, though I did make a valiant attempt to stay semi-unplugged.
Hurricane Gustav was a huge story, of course, and thankfully it’s now finally […]
