/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://tumblog.widerangle.org"&gt;Wider Angle Tumblog&lt;/a&gt; is really what I always wanted Wider Angle to be, a place where you can come to jump to other interesting stuff, but continuously updated as I find things. Almost everything I link to really needs little or no comment; it stands on its own and explains itself, and in the context of the blog time continuum, it seems to all make sense somehow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thusly and therefore inherently subsequently, semi-officially, all the awesome links and photos and videos will be on the Tumblog with very limited reposts to Wider Angle. I'll also try to make more frequent, longer, better posts about interesting and/or relevant topics here on WA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, there is an unresolved bit of this plan. What do I write about? I could do design critiques or music reviews, but do we really need more of that on the internets? I thought of answering questions about random topics, but I'm fairly sure the average WA reader is smarter and more resourceful than I am, or at least knows about &lt;a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/"&gt;Ask MeFi&lt;/a&gt;. The most recent &lt;a href="http://tumblog.widerangle.org"&gt;Tumblog&lt;/a&gt; links and my &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/royalsapien"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; posts are over on the side thing there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask you, the smart, witty, and quite attractive WA reader, what would you like to see here? Please email me at benmautner@gmail.com or leave a comment, I would most appreciate the input.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.benmautner.com/widerangle/2007/08/tumblog-and-wa.html' title='Tumblog and WA'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7757643&amp;postID=4038487734012732810' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.benmautner.com/widerangle/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7757643/posts/default/4038487734012732810'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7757643/posts/default/4038487734012732810'/><author><name>Ben</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757643.post-2724255762447417507</id><published>2007-07-24T23:39:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-07-24T23:42:31.618-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election2008'/><title type='text'>I was wrong. Did YouTube change debating?</title><content type='html'>I mentioned on the Tumblog that CNN would bias the questions asked from YouTube users in the recent Democratic Presidential candidate debate. That insinuated that the debate would be less valid than other, formal debates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was certainly wrong. It seems that questions from people of the United States (YouTube users) not only mean more than questions from pundits and newspeople, but they're more compelling and entertaining. And thoughtful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The electoral process in the United States could stand to get more involvement from the people and less from the mass media. The more people's voices are heard immediately, the more relevant every step of campaigning will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the candidates are going to campaign for 2-3 years before the election, we should make it count for something. Make their campaigning messages matter NOW, while they're still in office. If they promise something for when they're President, make them accountable for it NOW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This debate could be a great step forward. We should be so lucky.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.benmautner.com/widerangle/2007/07/i-was-wrong-did-youtube-change-debating.html' title='I was wrong.

"...if you see work    as a Montessori preschooler does, as a wide-open path where one thing leads to    another and the development of one skill allows for another level of things    to be explored, then that's a whole other kind of "work."

I downloaded Ventrilo, logged in, dialed him up and ...  ... realized he was an 11-year-old boy...   I still enjoyed questing with him -- he was a terrific &lt;cite&gt;World of Warcraft&lt;/cite&gt; player. But there's no doubt that hearing each other's voices abruptly changed our social milieu."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Buy's corporate culture seems to &lt;a href="http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_50/b4013001.htm"&gt;support good ideas that come from regular employees&lt;/a&gt;, so they've freed up the corporate environment to let workers spend their time as they like, as long as they get their work done.
