Right To Blog! posted in Blogging on Slotvent

by slotvent
At what point did we become controlled as blog writers? Where did all the fun of blogging end and all this rubbish begin? Lately I have been looking at a few other blogs on the internet and to be honest all noticed was blogs all writing the same rubbish.

The One Train: The Death of Photojournalism

by karlcow

It's one thing to solicit unpaid contributions from photographers and writers in crowdsourcing-type projects; it's another thing entirely to value someone's work at, oh, NOTHING.

il faut descendre de son nuage… crowdsourcing est exactement la même chose.

A Discordian Coloring Book

by borsky
"Many years ago, in the dim era of the late Disco age, a pair of visionary writers, Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, wrote a revelatory series of books known as The Illuminatus Trilogy. (…) Inspired to a madness of creative frenzy by these revelations, your artist seized pencils and drawing pens and embarked on many days and nights of intensive doodling until she had before her the work you can see reproduced here. A Discordian Coloring Book, originally created in 1982, was printed only in a limited edition of 1,000 copies, but now, via the medium of the web it is available for more general viewing. "

Great American Writers and Their Cocktails : NPR

by sbrothier
Famous writers and drinks are inseparable, despite the price some paid for the vice. Ernest Hemingway loved the Mojito, William Faulkner had his mint juleps, and F. Scott Fitzgerald was convinced gin was the way to go (he thought its smell would be undetectable on his breath). Hemingway & Bailey's Bartending Guide delves into the drinking habits of America's top writers to reveal their favorite cocktails. Steve Inskeep talks with author Mark Bailey and illustrator Edward Hemingway -- grandson of the writer -- about their new book. Below are excerpts from the guide, including cocktail recipes, drinking stories and writers' famous passages about imbibing.

Absinthe at the Virtual Absinthe Museum

by sbrothier & 1 other (via)
Absinthe...the Green Fairy...La Fée Verte....no other drink has the same romantic history - the French Impressionists....Toulouse Lautrec, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh....Paris in the Belle Epoque....the cafes of Montmartre....the muse of writers from Verlaine and Rimbaud to Joyce and Hemingway. Of course, there's a darker side to absinthe as well - no other drink has ever roused the same degree of passionate condemnation, and no other drink has ever been banned outright in the way absinthe was in the years leading up to 1915.

Hidden Beijing

by karlcow

For visitors, coming to an Olympic city where so many aspects of life — clothing, conversation, food, everything — are staged is only going to cause more confusion about China when the returning waiguoren tell their stories about Beijing. Expats burn when travel writers and foreign journalists make simplistic generalization, but, with half the Beijing story hidden, I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of it. And this will only reinforce the commonly-held belief that Westerners just can’t understand China. (Or the commonly-held belief that China’s all ancient temples and KFCs. Either or!)

Le monde du spectacle.

Literature and Latte - Scrivener

by karlcow & 3 others (via)

Scrivener is a word processor and project management tool created specifically for writers of long texts such as novels and research papers. It won't try to tell you how to write - it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application.

[…] And for those who want to typeset their own work, Scrivener even supports the MultiMarkdown markup language, which gives those who have more exacting requirements all the power of exporting to LaTeX and XHTML.

Je n'ai pas essayé mais cela semble être très intéressant.
