         <description><![CDATA[
	

	Over the last few weeks I have been spending a lot of my free time voicing over my old online comics and turning them into YouTube videos. Once done I post the links to my new masterpieces on all of my social network accounts. My initial uploads received many kind comments and “likes” from my friends and followers. Then I noticed something strange, each time I put on another video compilation I would get fewer and fewer views. &nbsp;My most recent five minute video had less than ten. So I...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	

	Earlier this fall, “The Lion King” was re-released in 3-D. Most of the commentary focused on its surprising box office success. Disney, seeing an opportunity, quickly announced several more 3D enhanced refurbishings. What shocked me was the silence. Sure, there were a few complaints about messing around with art but not many. Compare this to when Ted Turner took his catalog of black and white classic (and not so classic) films and began to colorize them. Led by the likes of Steven...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	

	(Spoilers ahead.)

	One of the clever aspects of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games is how the hero, Katniss Everdeen, is constantly manipulating the fictional audiences to increase her chance of victory. She models every smile, grimace, word and kiss for a watching world. Using this device through the first person narrative of Katniss serves several purposes including adding a strong satiric bite and increasing the tension about the nature of her relationship with Peeta Mellark.&nbsp; But...]]></description>

	&nbsp;

	After spending the last five days making various PowerPoint presentations, I started thinking about how much I loathe watching them.

	I recently worked with someone whose position required them to speak publicly on a daily basis. Unfortunately, at best he had modest speaking talents. He must have sensed these inadequacies because on every occasion, from the mundane to the solemn, out popped a PowerPoint.&nbsp; They were awful. &nbsp;With ham-handed (and often inappropriate) attempts...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	I recently began dabbling in comics.&nbsp; Not reading them, but actually creating them.&nbsp; One of the beauties of the internet is that everyone can attempt, on some rudimentary level, to create art in forms previously barred by high entry in skill or cost.&nbsp; But today you can create movies, produce music, record radio shows and publish books for basically free and with limited technical ability.&nbsp; Trust me, I have done them all to even levels of success. &nbsp;That's ok because we...]]></description>

	(With today's release of the Kindle Fire I thought I would write about my evolving attitude towards e-books.)

	I was one of those guys.&nbsp; You know the people who said they would never, ever, ever read with a Kindle.&nbsp; It goes something like this, “I love the feel of a book in my hand, I can’t imagine reading without that experience.&nbsp; Plus I love &nbsp;being surrounded by books that I have read.&nbsp; Frankly I am offended even by the concept of the Kindle.” etc., etc.&nbsp; I...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[One of the most important tools for building your page’s followers is lists.&#160; Lists are powerful tools for focusing follower selection.&#160;&#160;The best way to get new followers when you start a build is to follow others.&#160;
Here are a few suggestions for using lists:
1.&#160;Create&#160;lists for the people who won’t follow you back.&#160; If you want to read the tweets of someone who will never follow you back put them in a list.&#160;You call list someone without following...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	An interesting aspect of living in a crowded city is that you often hear the most intimate details of inter-personal relationships.&nbsp; For this we can thank the cellphone.&nbsp;These conversations usually take the form of Partner A ranting at Partner B about Partner B’s attention to Outsider C.&nbsp;&nbsp;(In many cases, you can substitute xBox for Outsider C.)&nbsp;&nbsp;And thanks to the cellphone we always have overbearing bosses, intrusive parents, sleazy bill collectors and irate...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	Addictions to drugs, alcohol and gambling have powerful systematic holds on the brain.&nbsp; Luckily, the efficacy of recovery programs has increased over the years largely through trial and error.&nbsp; The 20th century saw the noticeable rise in recovery success using, among other things, step programs. &nbsp;

	Alcoholics Anonymous, founded by Bill Wilson and Bob Smith in 1935, is recognized for making step programs popular. Wilson may not have known it at the time but his plan was a...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	I attended a studio preview for the Seth Rogen movie “The Green Hornet”. This non-3D version lacked titles and was still being edited. &nbsp;I am sure there will be significant differences in the film when it is released on January 14.&nbsp; 

	Here is a summary of my reactions:

	Faithfulness to the source – Superficially, it honors some of the varied sources of the Green Hornet (semi) legend with a strong tilt towards the 60's TV version. &nbsp;But the approach is sure to turn off any...]]></description>
