Jowi Taylorand the Six String Nation Guitar

Couple weeks ago a Podcasters Across Borders I had a chance to hear Jowi speak about the project AND got to tough (and to the degree that I can play) the guitar. The story behind the project is just so amazing that on this day, Canada Day, I wanted to share it with you. I hope that it inspires you, helps you really love our country and if you can help support Jowi in bringing this piece of our history across this country as it should be. Jump over to the guitars site at http://www.sixstringnation.com/ to see more and to find links to help out!

Bias? Really?

Bill Deys — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:43:14 +0000

Had an idea while I was cutting the lawn today. I’ve had a few conversations about bias in the news, specifically TV news.

Most people lean one way or another, left or right, and they choose which news station to watch/read/listen to based on that.

My idea was, and it mostly applies to TV although radio would be that much sufferer. Anyways, I wonder what would happen if the left news and right news could work together and change their schedule so they don’t run at the same time.

Crazy idea I know but, those so inclined could watch news presented with both bias and make up their own minds!

I think there are far to many people that just need to see what the other side is like and perhaps actually get engaged with the news and think about what is being throw at them. They accept what is said and don’t get that even the news is slanted!

What do you think?

Trying out Keith White for the first time. More tickets open for PodCamp London, and we’ve added an After Party at Windermere Manor (thanks to Voices.com for the connection)!

And I’m working with The London Ontario Live Arts (LOLA) festival doing some social media type things. Check out the Muskox concert they are putting on Thursday (April 2nd) and email me (bill@deys.ca) if you’re interested in doing some cool media colaboration things around the festival!

If Twitter goes down my backup plan is NOTHING! I’m not going to try and find where m friends are now. I can email, SMS or call my real friends. I’m done with being that strapped to one service. I know I don’t make money with Twitter but don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Cool Blog Name to Come

I’m issuing a challenge to London bloggers.

As readers of this blog know, I have a bedrock faith in competition. I believe it makes all of us better.

So I’m challenging London bloggers to do their own original reporting.

There has been much talk in the last couple weeks about stories that The Free Press intentionally suppresses, misses or ignores.

It’s no longer enough to just complain about these stories.

It’s time to do something about it.

If you are a blogger and you believe we are not doing a good job, go us one better.

Do your own original reporting.

Don’t just link to lfpress.com and complain about us in the same breath. That’s disengenuous.

It’s no longer enough to say “We’re just a blog” or “We’re only an aggregator.” Those days are over.

If you believe, as I do, that this city deserves excellent journalism, it’s time to lead by example.

I think we’ll all be better for it.

So how about it?
