How It Will Likely Happen

winstonwolfe:

negevrockcity:

While the world’s attention is diverted for the next 72 hours by the death of a faded pop star whose relevance outside of dark jokes faded 20 years ago, the Iranian authorities will go in like rabid dogs smelling fresh blood and feast on the flesh of tens of thousands seeking freedom. Then an Islamic Republic shorn of its democratic facade and mandate to rule will celebrate its newfound freedom by repressing the Persian masses by never before. Meanwhile, my American brothers and sisters will go back to “Free Tibet” bumper stickers and finding the next trendy cause.

I sure as hell hope not.

Tragic because it’s true

It is already happening.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip.tv, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Wikileaks")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
