Hot Chocolate

Jason Kottke has quit his job and is now going to blog fulltime. He's hoping to survive on micropatronage from his blog audience. I wish him well. Having read his writings for many years, I have found him to be one of the most interesting and entertaining bloggers.

HOW: "I'm attempting to revisit the idea of arts patronage in the context of the internet. Patrons of the arts have typically been wealthy individuals, well-heeled foundations, or corporations. As we've seen in many contexts, the net allows individuals from geographically dispersed locations to aggregate themselves for any number of reasons. So, when you've got a group of people who are interested in a particular artist, writer, etc., they should be able to mobilize over the internet and support that person directly instead of waiting around for the MacArthur Foundation or Cosimo de Medici to do it".more>>

So go and give him a hand, good luck Jason!

Hunter S. Thompson

bookzen - literary reviews

The creator of Gonzo journalism wrote his own ending.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

NYT - With an Icon's Death, Aspen Checks Its Inner Gonzo By KIRK JOHNSON
"Over the decades that Hunter S. Thompson lived and wrote here in the high Rocky Mountains of central Colorado, Aspen became an aerie for the rich and the beautiful - the very sort of place, right under his nose, that he was famous for fulminating against in his books. "Freak power in the Rockies," as Mr. Thompson once dubbed the spirit of his adopted home, gave way to Louis Vuitton".

NYT - Hunter S. Thompson, 65, Author, Commits Suicide By MICHELLE O'DONNELL
"Hunter S. Thompson, the maverick journalist and author whose savage chronicling of the underbelly of American life and politics embodied a new kind of nonfiction writing he called "gonzo journalism," died yesterday in Colorado".

The Guardian - Tributes for 'gonzo' writer Hunter S Thompson by Duncan Campbell
"He created a new style of journalism, bequeathed us the phrase "fear and loathing", was played on screen by Johnny Depp and Bill Murray, kept a peacock as a watchdog and claimed to have first seen President Bush passed out in a bathtub in a Texas hotel".

BBC - Hunter S Thompson commits suicide
"Hunter S Thompson, the American counterculture writer, has been found dead at his home in Colorado".

The Wilderness Society

ecozen - animals ecology philanthropy

Here is a message from The Wilderness Society, they need our help!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

One of our last great wild places, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is under a sneak attack from the oil industry and their allies in Congress and the Administration. That's why The Wilderness Society has launched an all-out campaign to protect the Arctic wilderness.

But we need your help.

We need to send Congress and the Administration a strong message that we're NOT going to stand by and watch as America's wild places are sold off to the highest bidder. Click the link below to take action today: http://www.wilderness.org/Arctic

We can’t lose the critical battle to preserve this precious, threatened landscape which is inhabited by wolves, grizzlies, caribou, and millions of migrating birds.

This threat is more serious, and more dangerous, than ever before. Anti-wilderness forces in Congress hope to use a backdoor budget process to sneak this giveaway onto the same federal budget the government needs to function. They know that they don’t have the votes necessary to enact this ill-conceived plan through the normal legislative process that requires 60 votes to pass such highly controversial measures in the U.S. Senate.

Poll after poll has shown that the American people believe some places are so wild, so special, and so important that they should be off limits to oil drilling. Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would ruin one of America’s last unspoiled and irreplaceable wild places for just a few months worth of oil that won’t be available to consumers for ten years! There are far better ways to meet America’s future energy needs, like making our vehicles more efficient and investing in renewable forms for energy.

Please take a moment to remind your Senator that the vast majority of Americans want the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to remain just the way it is: wild, unspoiled, and free of oil rigs.

With your help, we will protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as an unspoiled legacy for future generations.

Stop the Sneak Attack on the Arctic Refuge!

Right now oil industry allies in Congress are plotting a sneak attack on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In the next two weeks, oil-friendly members of the House and Senate will try a sneaky backdoor trick to pass their unpopular proposal to drill for oil in the pristine Arctic Refuge by inserting it into the must-pass federal budget bill.

It's up to us to put a stop to this sneak attack by raising a ruckus. Send this message urging your members of Congress to keep drilling in the Arctic Refuge out of the federal budget bill.

About The Wilderness Society
We're spirited people protecting America's Wilderness since 1935 through the potent combination of science, advocacy and education.

Our Mission
Deliver to future generations an unspoiled legacy of wild places, with all the precious values they hold: Biological diversity; clean air and water; towering forests, rushing rivers, and sage-sweet, silent deserts.

"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain."
The Wilderness Act

Audubon's Aviary

artzen - art culture info expo
ecozen - animals ecology philanthropy

18 February - 27 March The New-York Historical Society (N-YHS) presents Audubon's Aviary

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

"For the first time ever the sounds of birds will accompany an exhibit of original Audubon watercolors when the New-York Historical Society (N-YHS) creates an "urban aviary" with its exhibition". It is being held in the second-floor gallery, Dexter Hall.

There is such a demand from the public, artists, historians, naturalists to view the paintings but because they are so fragile and light sensitive, the Society will only be displaying 40 of them once a year.

The fragile watercolors featuring life-size Snowy Owls, Loons, Egrets, Osprey and other birds are part of the society's 435 one-of-a-kind Audubon treasures purchased in 1863 from Lucy Bakewell Audubon, collaborator and widow of the buckskin-wearing naturalist.

John James AUDUBON Exhibit
Many events are taking place in conjuction with the exhibit.

We the Media : Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People
We the Media : Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People By Dan Gillmor
Grassroots journalists are dismantling Big Media's monopoly on the news, transforming it from a lecture to a conversation. Not content to accept the news as reported, these readers-turned-reporters are publishing in real time to a worldwide audience via the Internet. The impact of their work is just beginning to be felt by professional journalists and the newsmakers they cover.
In We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People, nationally known business and technology columnist Dan Gillmor tells the story of this emerging phenomenon, and sheds light on this deep shift in how we make and consume the news. [Full Description]

Good luck Dan : From we the readers
