Mother's Day: Brother and husband cook while we mothers lounge.
Meanwhile... Elsewhere: Code Pink's Mother's Day Vigil in Washington D.C. Blogs, photos and media coverage. Al Gore on Saturday Night Live this weekend: Gore gave a mock address to the nation as if he were president. (George Bush is Commissioner of Baseball and gasoline is 19 cents a gallon.) He's not wooden any more. Video and transcript at this link at Crooks and Liars. Jimi Hendrix. Voodoo Child, Berkeley 1970. Video, also at C&L. Near the end, he's playing guitar with his teeth. Free mp3s: At Aquarium Drunkard, "a twenty minute live medley of the Allmans at their creative/live zenith combining "You Don't Love" me with King Curtis' "Soul Serenade."
Pep talk: If Newspapers Are to Rise Again: 'Reinvent or die. It's that simple.' Former San Francisco Examiner Online editor Tim Porter blogs his piece in the current issue of Nieman Reports. From "1. Start with a question:" to "7. Finally, big ideas rule," it's a good, short read. My favorite: 4. Kill the defensive, authoritarian newsroom culture. Break down the hierarchy. Dismantle the content silos. Don't manage, enable. Newsrooms are filled with creative people whose talents and ambitions are shackled by a plethora of inhibiting rules. Reward effort. Fail. Learn. And repeat. Free the newsroom 55,000! This is called fun. Bon Echo (aka Firefox 2) Alpha 2 Review, with screenshots, at the Mozillalinks blog. Consider it a preview of Firefox 2, coming in September or October. (In general, alpha previews are for volunteers willing to report the bugs; betas are for early adopters. If you're just switching to Firefox, stick with the stable 1.5 release.) Posted by Sheila Lennon
