Slog - Comments on All This Senseless Death http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/all_this_senseless_death Apparently, newspapers are dead because they're not cultural currency. Good thing we have blogs. Wait, apparently they're dead, too. Now everybody should get excited about Lifestreaming. Thank God Tombstone image generators never go out of style....

The newspaper sucks. The writers, although trained, really do a bad job representing journalism.

I used to sell tombstones, and those aren't going out of style anytime soon. It's not going to be called a "dead" business anytime soon.

The whole thing is pretty fascinating, but the summation is, esssentially, this:

"But what good is a lifestream that communicates nothing about what something means? Looking at the picture of the coffee can, and even linking the image to the coffee estate, tells you nothing about what that coffee means to me in the stream of my life.

Using the internet to push around basic information in new ways is fun. But it has no meaning without a human context. It’s just lists and bad photographs. That’s not a life."

How is this cheesy clip art a symbol of the eternal? Mudede: Can you help me out here? :)

Besides, I miss the comics. Only decent thing in the paper, really.
