Your work is much appreciated... validates and bolsters positions I couldn't explain or justify six or seven years ago. And what form will it all take in another 15?
Wait a minute... Oxford professor with eccentric notions is found murdered along a canal... that description fits about four episodes of Masterpiece Mystery's "Inspector Lewis" series. Ask me if you need to know whodunit.
Wondering if Tim's use of "Mtn" instead of spelling out the product name is a strategy to stay under the Pepsico radar... or whether he just hates vowels.
Via Twitter, she's thrown down the gauntlet and asked for other musicians to step forward with their own data, but we haven't seen any responses, which is too bad; I think our collective understanding of how musicians earn their livelihoods would really be furthered if we had a broader range of examples. It's like being the sole player in a game of I'll-show-you-mine-if-you-show-me-yours. That being said, kudos to Zoe for caring so much about us, and about her industry.
Quick glance at the product thumbnail next to that Amazon review image... profile view of the TV looks more than a little like a weapon. Wondered how he got that image into the review. (D'oh!)
Interesting to see Krappitz' article, only one day after I was called out... light-heartedly... as a troll by my 19-year-old, for injecting one or two wiseass remarks into a multi-party SMS conversation. I'd been conditioned to associate "troll" with the know-nothing nonsense described -- and demonstrated -- above; never heard/saw the label applied in the joker/wiseass scenario. This kind of semantic schizophrenia happens all the time... a term is used harmlessly by one group, and perniciously by another, leading to nasty misunderstandings. Need a new term here...
Ahhh, but through the magic of digital signage (maybe a Samsung display attached to an iMac), you could create a looping animation in which each party's name continuously rotated through top billing. Problem solved!
There's that cryptic "log on" language again... mark of someone who's a stranger in the land of the Interwebs. Not that surprising for a judge, much less via translation from Norwegian; but for all those commercial copywriters who tell viewers to "... log on to our website for big savings," I mean, really -- what's their excuse? I know how to log in; not even sure how I would "log on" if told to, though.
"Well, this is confusing..."
No, this is DELICIOUS! Irony upon irony, treachery, deceit, payoffs, screwing the artist... this story hits all the marks!
Junk? You need to re-read the excerpt, my good man. It was "impossible until only recently"... not just "wizardry", but actual "technological wizardry" -- the best kind! Clearly, you were confused by its "apparent effortlessness"; but thanks to this action, we learn that this is merely an "illusion"!
I recognize that prose style... Tom Swift's tales of the future, I think...
"I suspect we will get a competing, much more complete biopic sometime in the future."
With the family in control, it could be a far-less-complete biopic. Or a fairy-story-pic.
The more the language degenerates, the more it starts to sound like a 419 letter... so if the writer's fleeing felony prosecution, he might consider Nigeria, where he'll be welcomed as a hero, and find a promising new career.
