Oooh, that is a *really good* meme. I may nick it.
I would ask you to write about -
* Brownies in the 21st Century * Some of the theoretical stuff you're learning in typography * What it's like to go on a balloon ride * A 'everyone should organise read-throughs and this is how I prepare for one' piece * What it's like to have impaired hearing every day (general awareness raising)
And probably many other things, but *I* should be writing atm, so shall restrain myself.
Why do people use My Space? It's something that I've never understood and seems to act as a shallow substitute for real-life social interaction.
Given that the user activity is grouped by age and postcode, it makes an ideal marketing and government surveillance device for the people running it.
I set up an account last night to send a message to someone (as they "don't use email") so I'm now a member (not by choice). The "Microsoft Word" phenomena is apparent - to read and edit word document you have been sent, you need a copy yourself.
Another annoying thing is that people are trying to add me to their 'friends' list within minutes of joining. It seems odd because I don't know who they are and they don't know me. Are people's lives so empty that they have to leap onto the first stranger that arrives in the door?
Anyway, I'm sure there's a 2000 word article on the strange phenomena on-line social networks, and rather topical given how quickly these things seem to arise..
I don't think you should write about Brownies, for a general mag.
I think it would be better to write a peice that was about, helping out with Children, generic it up a bit, and draw on your Brownie-fu to make it more intresting, and to give personal experince.
Making the focus NOT Brownies to give it a more generic appeal?
Hey, taimatsu. Thanks for adding me to your friend's list. I did not realize that until now. I usually don't look into my profile unless I plan to ad something which I rarely do. I don't know if you remember me. I recognized your name one of your userpics looks exactly as I remember you when you were in Cambridge. I came with lethargic_man who is my best friend. It was too hot that I got ill on that day. It was my first time in Cambridge. I know livredor as well who was also in Cambridge.
I have been watching documentaries about animals and even about insects, spiders and whatever crawls since my childhood, since I was 6 years old. I am phobic about most of the crawling animals but I have no problem with real animals like birds and mammals. I watch documentaries because it is in that case a more scientific interest. My mum finds the animals very cruel and brutal but I just see it from another perspective. If there weren't any predators we would have too many of the non-meat eaters. The natural balance won't be there which is often the case when human beings interfere.
Um, hello, it's me, you left a note in my LJ about webzine interest. Just to let you know the www.ferretbrain.com is kind of up and running if you want to wander over there and admire and join its shinyness. We even have content, some of it not by me (surprise and joy!).
