Jobs: Bradley Manning Support Network Washington DC Organizer
Yes, this is a paid position. No, it is not gloriously overpaid. But think what it will be worth in the points-that-annoy-your-horrible-trolling-relatives economy. Details: Washington DC / Baltimore area organizer needed in support of Army PFC Bradley Manning, accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower Courage to Resist, in collaboration with the Bradley Manning Support Network, is seeking applicants […]
Jobs: Paid Internship at FreeGeekVancouver!
May 31, 2012
God knows, I haven’t always gotten along with these guys, but finally after many years of phone/email/in-person tag we got together thanks to the ever-vigilant and helpful Tim Adkins. Their mission is to teach low-income people how to repair computers, and they also sell computers and parts and do repairs for the public. When I […]

The Cookie Dance
May 1, 2012
https://twitter.com/#!/GeorgeMonbiot/status/197251485824851970 Oh, am I going to gloat about this? YOU DAMN WELL BET I AM! And what was this nugget of 24 karat genius that I was able to impart to crusading environmental documentarian George Monbiot that cleared the skies and caused the flowers to blossom and so on and so forth? The Cookie Dance. […]

Freelance Isn’t Free: Client Wars
April 22, 2012
One more entry into the annals of Freelance Isn’t Free. If you don’t think the ability to look a client in the eye and hold his stuff for ransom is a key business skill, you are not ready to freelance, trust me. Thusly: Client: Yeah, we’re not paying for this. Me: Why not? I’ve spent […]
Jobs: Analytics Engineer at Kiip
April 20, 2012
Got this from Kiip founder Brian Wong on Google+, if memory serves. He’s one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met, with the ability to see the long-term effects of decisions. If I were going to work for any barely post-pubescent startup guy from Vancouver, it would be him. They’re also hiring a number […]
#OpSpamHeadChop 2.0
April 2, 2012
It seems our enemies the Twitter spammers have (mostly) given up on their old tactics of using an army of spambots to @-direct people to one central account, which then directs people to a website. I guess the first iteration of #OpSpamHeadChop was too effective for their liking, and Twitter is wise to their games. […]
Social Media Lessons from the Homeless: Ideawave 2011
March 28, 2012
I love the Ideawave conferences. No matter what the topic, the timeline is ten minutes, so it’s ideal for Short Attention Span Theatre chicks like mineself, whether we’re presenting or just watching. In the last two instances, I have been presenting, so here is me from 2011 presenting on Social Media Lessons from the Homeless. […]
Fight Twitter Spam: Kill the head, the body will fall
March 27, 2012
This idea came to me, as all good ideas and many bad ones do, from an Anonymous supporter on Twitter, in this case NasdaqEnema. S/he did a blog post in classic Anonspeak, which contains a truly fantastic, elegant idea: How many people turned their anti-spam efforts toward the root? All of the spam accounts mentioned […]
How to tell if you’ve been blocked on Twitter
March 11, 2012
Ah, Twitter, you’re a tricksy little social media platform. You facilitate drama and then you facilitate misunderstandings around the drama so well you might almost be EZBoard (may it rest in peace). And you are constantly changing the way you work, although even all these months after buying them out you don’t seem in a […]
