The Life and Times of Sooz

Meg Smith at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center sent out an email about a conference they are co-hosting on Friday, April 8th called "Signal or Noise 2k5: Creative Revolution?"

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society, the Journal of Law &
Technology, and the Committee for Sports & Entertainment Law, all of
Harvard Law School, are hosting Signal ...

By nature I am a helpful person. That's not an ego statement: it's just the way it is. I've noticed that I've developed a pet peeve. Someone will swoop into my inbox or instant messenger application and ask me if I know so and so. If I say "no" then they say ...

Poking around Craig's List I came across this ad from a company called Niner Niner looking for Boston webloggers who want to write on specific topics and get paid. They seem seem to be setting up something that resembles the Gawker Media and Weblogsinc networks. I have no idea who Nine Niner is. Anybody ...

Jess Barron sent me an invite yesterday to join the Yahoo! 360 network/community/blog thingy. It's been a while since I've logged into Friendster, Orkut and Ryze. It'll be interesting to see if I frequent Yahoo!'s project more consistently. Here's my profile if you'd like to add me as a contact at 360 Degrees.

This is an updated "About Sooz" entry. I need to submit a bio for a panel I'm on next month. So, I thought I'd put up a new "About Sooz" page here at sooz.com that will help me figure out what to say in that bio. I'm not really fond of talking about ...

I'm curating a new mininetwork in the Blogads network for arts and entertainment related weblogs in New England. Henry Copeland of Blogads wrote about the new tool a couple weeks ago including the first mininetwork that Amy Langfield is curating for New York City.

I decided to focus on arts and entertainment related weblogs and ...

I haven't mentioned in a few weeks how much I love flickr. It will be interesting to see how their sale to Yahoo! affects them: hopefully in good ways. I've been wanting to do more with the display of photos on websites other than my flickr account/pages but I'm not really techie enough ...

Pete Caputa and Duncan Arsenault have been hosting a networking mixer in Worcester for the entertainment, advertising and media industries for several months. With 100+ people showing up each month they're now branching out into other cities including Boston on March 29th at the Boston Billiard Club 8-11PM. Anyone working in the entertainment, ...

Seth Godin wants to know why so many WiFi networks are closed. His rant was inspired by a recent (not very clueful) article in the New York Times. Seth wrote a followup entry to some criticism he received.

There were no razor blades in apples on Halloween when we were growing up. Did you ...

One of the things that bugs me that seems to have come about with the pervasiveness of weblogs is the notion that everything is bloggable or shareable. A lot of conversations I have with people require a disclaimer that our conversations are or are not bloggable. I joked with Pete Caputa that it ...
