ChrisList

Coffeeshop Two In the theme of Craigslist, here’s Chris’s list.

Wanted: Book

I want a specific-ish book. I want a fiction book in one of the following themes:

  • Privateer- a ship and its crew making their own way, either nautical or space (no, not Star Trek).

  • Colonizing and Governance- something about making a new start somewhere, and all the challenges. Most any genre will do.
  • Secret Society – Something where someone uncovers a clandestine group and explores it from the outside looking in.

I’m really picky, but lob a bunch at me. I’d like to know.

Wanted: Blogs

What are the BEST blogs you read that I’m not reading yet? If you can, give me the RSS URL instead of the site, but either way.

Wanted: Your Schedule

Are you having a cool new media meetup? Are you going to a conference I might want to attend? Share with me, and I’ll let you know where I’m going, too. (Maybe I’ll even use Upcoming.org)

Wanted: Your Projects

What are you working on that’s cool? I’d love to get an update on what you’re doing in 2007.

—-

Thanks in advance. Feel free to email me, if you’d like. Or leave it in the comments if you feel like sharing. Thanks in either case.

    You need Neal Stephenson’s The Baroque Cycle. Involves pirates and long sea battles, the colonization of America, upheavals in the British monarchy, the formation of the world’s currencies, and the secret Societas Eruditorum, helping to keep everything moving as it should.

    Only problem is, it’s eight novels, bound in three volumes of around 900 pages each, so you might have to give up on a few other things to fit it in. Well worth it, though. Plus, it gets all three of your themes in one.

    Best blogs you’re not reading is a tricky one, but I’ll take a guess that you’re not following XKCD?

    Feed is at…
    http://www.xkcd.com/rss.xml

    It’s a comic strip, not a blog, but splendidly geeky, and the last but one was about youTube.

    And as for what we’re doing in 2007, we’re going to be selling lots of pens, and enjoying living in Devon.

    Book: Circle of Seven
    http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Seven-Clay-Jacobsen/dp/0805422838

    I haven’t read it, but it has some great reviews on Amazon.

    Book Description
    Challenged to create a sensational story for the sweeps ratings period, Investigative television reporter Mark Taylor embarks on what becomes the most dangerous adventure of his career.

    Taking a fresh look behind the scenes of the political process, Mark expects to to find a strong bias in the polling questions and how the results are reported. Instead He uncovers something else?more sinister and evil than he had ever expected.

    A clandestine group of media elite is manipulating the country to their own twisted ideals, and only Mark stands in their way.

    Suspense blends with romance when Mark meets and falls in love with Tracy Faircloth, granddaughter of the mysterious circle’s leader. He must choose between his career or the truth, and all hangs in the balance as he seeks to bring down the Circle of Seven.

    Colonizing and Governance (sort of, a strange colony anyway)

    The Last Days of Dogtown, Anita Diamant. Locally set in 1800′s Cape Ann. I liked it.

    “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” by Robert Heinlein is about the revolution of a colony on the moon, with help from a sentinent computer. Two-for-one: This kinda fits both colonizing and secret society.

    I haven’t read many books this year (shame) and none that fit your bill. However I have a couple of projects in mind.

    1) Black River Blues (the band in which I wear loud shirts) have just recorded a 4-track demo to get some more gigs. (We’re really proud of it considering it took us only 10 hours) We are already getting booked up well into next year (6 gigs a month for a blues band in the North East of England is pretty damned fine), but I want us to get a little airplay, maybe play a festival or two.
    Listen here: http://www.blackriverblues.co.uk.

    We don’t make any money at this, but it is fun!

    2) Teen journals. When I was a spotty introverted youth (no, really, I was!) I kept a journal (like many others, I guess) I still have these (around 13 volumes at the last check) and I think that some of this stuff might be of interest to others. I might be wrong of course! I’m going to start a blog just for this project and post one entry a day from a journal – if I get it sorted out properly I’ll post an entry for, say, March 1st, from a March 1st somewhere in the past. Geddit?
    I’ll keep you posted.

    Whatever you do, have a great year!

    Book

    Pretty much every book that I can think of right now can have its meaning expanded to fit into one of your categories. This means I’m too tired, and so I’ll skip this category.

    Blogs

    I mentioned Blueprint for Financial Prosperity in an earlier comment. It’s a great blog about everything personal finance, written by a novice in the field (though by now Jim may be an expert): http://feeds.feedburner.com/BargaineeringCashMoneyBlog

    It’s not one of the best, but this next one is almost certainly one you aren’t reading, because it still has that new blog smell. It’s written about and for my clients, but some of the projects may be of interest to you, particularly the posts about Web 2.0. Some of my clients, one in particular that I met at PodCamp Pittsburgh, are very open to new technologies. Others, like a certain film production company, have to be dragged kicking and screaming into 2007. Should I write more about this kind of struggle in the blog? With only two posts down, I’m still finding my voice: http://feeds.feedburner.com/DesignAvenues

    My Schedule

    I’m meeting with a client on Wednesday to discuss, among other things, advertising in new media. Later this year I’ll be at PodCamps NYC and Boston 2. Other stuff happens in between, I hope.

    My Projects

    Check out my last blog post. I’m very interested in introducing my client, a traditional filmmaker, to new media. What role(s) can traditional filmmakers play in this World 2.0?
