For those of you in lovely and scenic upstate New York, I’ll be giving a speech at Cornell University this coming Thursday titled “MySpace, Blogs and the MSM: The Future of Media, and How You Can Break Into It.” ‘Cause kids love the MySpace! (More info.)
Sadly, I see I’ll just miss former Spinsanity punching bag and New York Times fan Ann Coulter, who’s speaking at Cornell (her alma mater) on Monday the 24th. On the plus side, I imagine Cornellians will be saving their oranges to throw at Coulter, rather than at me.
Update: The Cornell Daily Sun has a nice writeup of the speech, which made the front page on Friday.
CJR Daily has been nominated for the Webby for Best Political Blog. In addition to the judges picking a winner (announced May 9), they also hand out a “People’s Voice” award in each category, which is determined by votes from the public. So please take a second and vote for CJR Daily!
While I’m at it, a plug for a friend: Treehugger.com is nominated for the Webby for Best Cultural/Personal Blog, so take a look while you’re voting for CJR Daily. I’ll be hosting a panel in June with one of the editors, Dominic Muren, about green design and how environmental values are moving into the mainstream via consumer products.
I’ll be appearing on “Brian Lehrer Live” tonight at 7:30 on the CUNY TV network (which is picked up by most New York cable providers; it’s channel 75 on Time Warner.)
The show repeats a few times this week, and the whole show will be available online for your streaming video pleasure.
