Within the Context of No Context - George William Swift Trow Jr.

2007-04-01T05:57:00.001-04:00

My friend Breuk will soon lend me this book, written about in the below-quoted NY Times review. What works now in marketing is real love, not false, for folks get smarter.

Make it real, people. Make it REAL.

clipped from www.nytimes.com

''Television is the force of no-history, and it holds the archives of the history of no-history,'' he wrote then; and ''No good has come of it,'' he added. He called television ''a little span of time made friendly by repetition. In a way, it doesn't exist at all.'' Furthermore, he argued, it is ''by the use of false love'' that television succeeds. ''The love engendered by familiarity. False love is the Aesthetic of the Hit. What is loved is a hit. What is a hit is loved. The back-and-forth of this establishes a context.'' (That is the context of ''Within the Context of No Context.'')

clipped from www.nytimes.com

At the other end of the threat spectrum was Joshua Kinberg, a graduate student at Parsons School of Design and the subject of four pages of intelligence reports, including two pictures. For his master’s thesis project, Mr. Kinberg devised a “wireless bicycle” equipped with cellphone, laptop and spray tubes that could squirt messages received over the Internet onto the sidewalk or street.
The messages were printed in water-soluble chalk, a tactic meant to avoid a criminal mischief charge for using paint, an intelligence report noted. Mr. Kinberg’s bicycle was “capable of transferring activist-based messages on streets and sidewalks,” according to a report on July 22, 2004.

How the world really shapes up

Rather than defining each country by size, these computer-generated modified maps - or cartograms - redraw the globe with each country's size proportionate to its strengths, or weaknesses, in a whole series of categories.

For instance, when it comes to military spending, the U.S. appears bloated, but Africa is huge when HIV prevalence is mapped.

The cartograms were produced in a unique collaboration between the universities of Michigan in the U.S. and Sheffield. Here are images and more details on some of the most fascinating...

From Jonathan Lethem's Essay in Harper's

2007-03-21T19:42:00.001-04:00

Revolutionary.

clipped from www.harpers.org

“When you live outside the law, you have to eliminate dishonesty.” The line comes from Don Siegel's 1958 film noir, The Lineup, written by Stirling Silliphant. The film still haunts revival houses, likely thanks to Eli Wallach's blazing portrayal of
a sociopathic hit man and to Siegel's long, sturdy auteurist career. Yet what were those words worth—to Siegel, or Silliphant,
or their audience—in 1958? And again: what was the line worth when Bob Dylan heard it (presumably in some Greenwich Village
repertory cinema), cleaned it up a little, and inserted it into “Absolutely Sweet Marie”? What are they worth now, to the
culture at large?

Because I Wikipedia'd 'Zero Sum' you get this better word.

Economics.

clipped from en.wikipedia.org

Complexity and non-zero-sum

It has been theorized by Robert Wright, among others, that society becomes increasingly non-zero-sum as it becomes more complex, specialized, and interdependent. As former US President Bill Clinton states:

The more complex societies get and the more complex the networks of interdependence within and beyond community and national borders get, the more people are forced in their own interests to find non-zero-sum solutions. That is, win-win solutions instead of win-lose solutions.... Because we find as our interdependence increases that, on the whole, we do better when other people do better as well - so we have to find ways that we can all win, we have to accommodate each other - Bill Clinton, Wired interview, December 2000.[1]

Lies & Videotape :: Cognitive Dissonance in the Marketplace

2007-03-08T07:39:00.000-05:00

Seth Godin writes about the failure of ad copy to address real conumer issues. His thumbnail sketch of the real issues is this: solve my problem safely and inexpensively.

The real issue I have with most ad copy is rampant cognitive dissonance.

What stands out most in the Bissel v. Dyson comparative advertising campaigns is the Bissel lies.

Godin writes, "[Bissel's] vacuum looks like and works like a Dyson, but it's cheaper. "

Bissel's advertising claim is, "The Bissell Healthy Home Vacuum is built like no other vacuum."

Fact is, the Bissell's built very much like a Dyson.

Folks are increasingly savvy about lies, whether the lie be in bad performance or hyperbole in ad copy.

My biggest problem with our current President is that he's a bad liar. So's Ms. Rice. So's Bissell.

If you can't fib well, tell the truth.

JetBlue :: Another Perspective :: Vulnerability

2007-03-08T05:48:00.000-05:00

Another perspective on JetBlue HERE, from Jory Des Jardins @ FastCompany.com

Don't fly much. It's become horribly degrading, and I get enough degradation just sitting still in my room.

What most impressed me about Jardins' take is how she wraps it up:

Note that I said earlier that my negative JetBlue experience "broke my heart," not "inconvenienced me" or "pissed me off." This is a notable distinction, the language of a customer who is used to positive customer experience and not just decent customer service.

Wrote about the JetBlue SNAFU earlier in the week, defending Steve Bryant's critique of Neeleman's YouTube video for "non-apology."

Neeleman shows us vulnerability.

Honest vulnerability is difficult to attack without appearing to be a bully.

I've long asked how 'hearts' might be transplanted into corporate bodies.

Vulnerability is one way to do that.

What other techniques add corporate 'heart'?

The Privitization of America's Highways

2007-02-26T12:31:00.000-05:00

About half way through this Mother Jones Radio podcast you'll hear an analysis of something I heard about but found unbelievable during this past summer's road trip to Montana and back: that states are selling their toll roads.

At the toll just this side of Chicago, the booth operator told me the Chicago Skyway had been sold to an Australian company. I'm, like, "Yeah. Right. Thanks."

Damn. It's true.

Indiana, Illinois and Virginia have done it. Pennsylvania's got its Turnpike on the block.

The implications are enormous.

From the Mother Jones site:

"...Some American highways are being sold off to the highest bidder, leaving multinationals and Wall Street firms sitting happy on piles of cash. Interstate 90 in Indiana, the Chicago Skyway, and the Pocahantas Parkway in Virginia are now privately owned -- which roads are next? We talk to Mother Jones' Dan Schulman and trucker advocate Todd Spencer of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association."

[source]

_____
POST NOTE: THIS from the 2/25/07 Pittsburg Post-Gazette:

"Are you skeptical about Gov. Ed Rendell's proposal to lease 514 miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike to raise money to repair roads and bridges?
"His budget message suggested the state could receive $11 billion as an upfront payment. Then it would invest the bonanza to gain $965 million a year in interest to be used for roads and bridges.
"It sounds like a better idea than a 12.5-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax and fee increases that his special Transportation Funding and Reform Commission recommended last fall.
"It sounds too good to be true."

Will the Real Blog Stand Up?

2007-02-25T04:10:00.000-05:00

Noted yesterday that a YouTube video linked to from VoteHillary.org has been taken down for TOS violations. Figured I ought to upload a screenshot of the thing.

As I peruse VoteHillary.org, most of the video has similarly been taken down for TOS violations since they are (based on the thumbnails) clips taken from news broadcasts.

I can't tell if VoteHillary.org is Clinton-authorized, but on closer examination, it's not very professionally done and with the video TOS thing, it looks pretty bad. Adittedly, it's not the first to come up in a Google search. As a confirmed contrarian, I don't usually go to the top-of-the-search locations first.

It would behoove the Clinton camp to get with VoteHillary.org and see what's what over there.

This site is official, and the first returned in Google's search. Clinton's got a blog and video on the site, but they're not sending the videos down the RSS pipe, nor do they make the videos portable. I would have liked to share a video here, but cannot.

More recent videos prove Senator Clinton more authentic than in her presidential announcement, but not quite enough to draw undecided voters over.

For sure, 2008 will be one of the most interesting and important elections in history.

Jet Blue CEO's YouTube Videoblog

2007-02-23T08:29:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Steve Bryant at NewTeeVee for pointing out another interesting executive video.

To Steve I say that Jet Blue's David Neeleman gets lots and lots of points for not reading from a script. So many folks these days are reading from scripts whose performances have left me cold. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Marriott come to mind. Not to worry, there's a learning curve to mastering authenticity, but you need a dedicated director on board to help you find and learn it.

[Note: Senator Clinton's YouTube announcement video linked from VoteHillary.org has been taken down for TOS violation. Oops.]

Furthermore, I don't need to hear, "I'm sorry." No-sir-ee. The only really meaningful response to a big-time screwup is action. Free flights, hotels, lots of free stuff for that kinda snafu. Let's see if Neeleman's words translate into motion, then re-evaluate.

Checking the JetBlue website, I found this text apology. Also found their new Bill of Rights, though the amounts of compensation do not seem high enough.

Bill Marriott's Got a Podcast :: Why Smoke-Free Hotels

2007-02-22T06:33:00.000-05:00

In a recent podcast, Marriott defends the decision to eliminate smoking rooms in all his hotels.

In another (one of his first, the podcast enclosed herewith), he addresses new Federal regulations requiring U.S. citizens to show a passport when re-entering the country from Canada, Mexico and a bunch of other places.

The big guys continue to buy into the blog / vlog / podcast fray. Hey, even the President and the Department of Homeland Security have RSS feeds.

Excellent.

The show notes for the smoking piece are:

"We really received a lot of comments on the blog about Marriott's decision last year to take all our hotels in North America 100 percent smoke free. That includes Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott, Marriott Hotels, Renaissance, Courtyard, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites, our Fairfield Inns, and even our TownePlace Suites.
"One of our very best customers who smokes blogged back to me and said, "I'll never come back to a Marriott." Well, that's a tough pill for us to swallow. But we made this decision because we knew it's what our customers wanted. And it certainly is what our associates deserved."

This is precisely the kind of issue that is best addressed by the head honcho.

Well done, Mr. Marriott, though a more conversational tone might lend more credibility and warmth to your show.

Thanks to Joho Blog for the heads' up.

This is a video-talking-points-memo on the subject of how to address the fear and denial you will yourself encounter if - as I have - you find yourself incapable of not speaking to others about this important issue.

Revlog :: Project Censored 2007 on Media Matters with Bob McChesney

2006-11-29T07:54:00.000-05:00

Can't believe it took this long to learn of this important work. Thanks to Bob McChesney
and his insightful show "Media Matters with Bob McChesney" broadcast from the beautiful campus of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Listen to the mp3 of McChesney's interview with Peter Philips and Andy Roth HERE.

You may subscribe to Mr. McChesney's show by copying THIS FEED into your aggregator. The Richard Show Dynasty turned me on to the podcast and I'm forever grateful.

Project Censored's been collecting under-reported stories for thirty years. Guess this is the price for having lead a 'sheltered' life.
