Liz Taylor is not dead, according to Gawker

Wierd, according to Microsoft’s tool, Elizabeth Taylor’s main audience is woman over 50 years of age, like herself.

Also, another Microsoft tool compares Elizabeth Taylor to other individuals that it considers to be in the same class, like Annie McDowell.   But the Microsoft tool gets thrown off by Jean Claude Van Damme who it thinks is a woman!

B.L. Ochman Interviewd by Diane Ensey of Know More Media: On Blogging and the Influence of Bloggers

Posted by Marshall Sponder on May 31, 2006 | Link It

I subscribe to Whatsnextblog and have quoted and met B.L. Ochman in NY this year at Search Engine Strategies (and interviewed her).  Now a fellow Know More Media blogger has a great interview of B.L.Ochman in her blog A-List-Review.

Diane Ensey conducts a good interview of B.L.Ochman -B.L. Ochman: On Blogging and the Influence of Bloggers; it’s a good read and I learnt some things.

Here’s my posts on B.L. Ochman

Timothy Leary: ten years gone

Posted by Marshall Sponder on May 31, 2006 | Link It

I met Timothy Leary several years ago (in the early late 1980′s, early 1990′s) at a conference in Philadelphia or Washington DC, I believe (don’t recall much about the conference).  Timothy Leary was very influencial in my generation and though I never experimented with LSD or other mind altering drugs – Timothy Leary did, doing hundreds of LSD trips.

When I met him, it must have been a couple of years before he passed on.  Here’s something written about Timothy Leary on Boing Boing today.

"The real war is between those who are turned on, and those who are uptight." -Timothy Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996)

I guess, based on today, those who are "uptight" are of greater number than those that are "turned on".
