somewhere else.
There's a lot of these places in Manhattan. I always found them to be
a great comfort in the usual craziness. a temporary oasis.
Matt recently pointed out that only a small group do most of the posting here.
Its true. I have no illusion where we fit into the world.
Yesterday, I guy walked in, posted a "help wanted" sign, and left.
one of our regulars then pointed something out rather
dramatically...and it spiraled into a huge to-do. I know i did my part
to spur it on. people thought is was funny/rude/dumb that anyone would
argue against the status quo...or be passionate about it.
Yes, there are larger forces at work all around us.
Yes, there are cultural norms that will continue far into the future.
Yes, there seems to be a small group of us who choose to pass through
each day to ask and answer questions.
Yes, most people stop by this place a couple times, get what they
need, and go on their way.
Reguardless of our influence, or lack of it, on the outside world, I
hope people keep questioning the status quo. This group wouldnt have
existed otherwise.
Are we often radical about it? sure.
Maybe unrealistic? you could say this.
But if all i wanted was the status quo, I'd go hang out on CNET or digg.com.
We know that the values of TV are coming to videoblogging.
Due to their enormous resources and "Lowest common denominator"
thinking, Traditional TV fare will be normal on the web. But I hope we
can continue to make space for people who have a different outlook
...reguardless of how wacky our conversations may get.
as we've reminded ourselves from the beginning, all this is just talk.
Thr proof is the video you make and distribute to the(your) world.
I never doubt for a second the power anyone can have if they make
something that is true.
