Wired Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson explains the recent phenomenon of making lots of money by charging nothing. Is everything moving toward "free now, pay later"? What are the consequences?
One of the benefits of having a somewhat underground publication is that I am so far from being in the same league as the other in-town newspapers and magazines, that I can provide an outsiders opinion of them. On occasion, Orlando's local news people go all Schindlers List on one another and start sniping from their respective balconies. It's all so unnecessary. As newsmen, they should be observing a cooperating with each others editorial intents in the spirit of providing their readers with informing and rich content. I say this because I do not want this piece to be interpreted in any way as an attack on the other local publications. The krill never teases the whale. Let's take a look.
If you enjoyed the recent Night Owl entry "Whatever Happened To Orlando Fetish", you'll enjoy reading the piece that inspired it, a conversation with Mistress Tania.
I'd like to tell you about my last job. I worked as a receptionist for a property management company. While I did have the luxury of working from home, I still found the job to be very problematic on a personal level. I found it very difficult to deal with feeling like a hypocrite on a day to day basis.
Jason Fronczek, an Orlando24 original staff member, found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and is currently doing a five year stretch at Polk Correctional. Everyone who knows him is as confident in his innocence as we are confident that the system is imperfect. He was overjoyed to hear of Orlando24's launch and success and surprised me with an article written on the backs of notes and visitation approval forms. Jay's learned a few things in the three years of his “extended assignment,” and he feels you should benefit from his experience should you find yourself on the wrong side of the fence.
Smoking is a much maligned habit in the America of today. Once, it was cool. Now, as far as I can tell in my infinite social wisdom, it is not. Smokers are the only remaining demographic actively discriminated against. Can you imagine how it would feel to be a nail-biter, or a leg-tapper, or a smack addict, and only be allowed to indulge in your innocent habit outdoors, twenty-five feet away from the entrance to any government buildings? The ACLU would be up in arms. But alas, such is the plight of the modern smoker. This guide will teach you everything you need to know about smoking, and how to look so cool doing it that people can't help but take notice, and maybe, god willing, take up smoking themselves.
