remembering the death of jack kerouac…
Bloated, reactionary and guileless, his was a painful and undignified death, brought on my too much drink and dissolute living, played out in the presence of the mother whose apron strings he couldn’t seem to cut, and the wife who didn’t understand him. Venerated by his fans and dismissed by many critics… Kerouac has divided opinion as to his literary merit since his ungainly demise. But has his time finally come round again? (via)

Want to Monetize the Web?
To monetize content requires a shift in thinking because one must move from sticking with the traditional push business model to accepting the web’s “pull” approach…. (via adage)
adage offers three ‘pull’ approaches:
- Use content to attract audiences
- Create a community to coalesce audiences
- Leverage the power of your community to drive revenue
two years in a row, edgy mama is featured in the least favorite feature of the mountain x… but edgy mama is in the top three for local bloggers… fickle readership? or poor survey questions?
America is no longer a Christian nation… that seems to be the top phrase for some politicians today, even with nearly 4 out of every 5 Americans claiming to be a Christian. And of course in Britain, Richard Dawkins helped support a wide-spread advertising campaign on buses, stating there’s “probably no God,” even though a recent census stated that nearly 70% of Britains claimed to be Christians.
