“…Unlike other campaigns of other preachy institutions that prove the more they try to convince you of their point the more they make the point of why you are unconvinced in the first place.”
[Praising post about Be Veg Canada's Be Compassionate campaign that shows the power of great marketing and use of words. And in stark contrast to PETA campaigns, my media antithesis!]

What Keira did this week…
“…Played a game with myself [that sounds sketchy]…”
[Self-indulgent post about my antics this week. Lots of material today but somehow this seemed really important...]

Falling in love with Veronica Falls?
“…Veronica Falls didn’t excite their set enough to gain any new followers or to rouse their existing ones. Basically, my protest placard would emblazon: “VF for studio recorded tracks! Probably no to live acts!” Or perhaps I should keep the placards as blank as their expressions. If it wasn’t for their neutral facials, I would be saying they were sitting hard on that pointy fence on whether they are a band about whom to be excited. I was a semi-fan of their recorded tracks, but their live act didn’t make me fall in love with them.”

Clash of the egos
“…After all, the articles I write are my children, and while I can’t choose a favourite between them, I’m biased that my creations are better/walked earlier/prettier than any other article not borne of my pen. My interests in my sense of work [of managing articles] and sense of worth [of writing articles] started to conflict…The instinct to ensure the survival of your name [and in this case, byline] is strong.”
[Post about keeping my ego in check when writing articles for news channels that I managed - and drawing similarities of my Godfather-esque career to the demise of Fredo Corelone.]

Hot off the Tweet
“…I don’t understand why the courts are so resistant to social media. It’s true – print and other mediums are old technology. But I love how Twiiter, FB et al are dubbed “new” media. No. Its just media. This is it. It’s not new anymore. You don’t call a child in Grade 2 a newborn baby anymore, do you? This is the 21st Century. It’s time for the courts to catch up. In jargon at least.”
[Post about Canada's Chief Justice pitting my two fields of law + media against each other by stating law courts must learn to deal with the concept of including Twitter and FB in reporting.]
