I think one a month is enough. There is a lot there to digest.

That said his "I am not a journalist" thing is total bullshit.

Also, remember when the Gawker tag "The New York Times is just a fancy blog" was like, a futuristic neg?

- Calendar. Not calender.
- Strunk and White wrote "The Elements of Style," not "Element of Styles."
- Hillary Clinton is not a dude. Her first name has two Ls, not one.

Also, the CBC would probably buy the blog about hockey.

Dan Lyons (Fake Steve Jobs), in his eagerness to prove that I'm truly a Journalist, points to a talk I gave called "Opportunities and Dangers for Journalism."
Except—oops! That wasn't the title of my TALK. That was the title of the CONFERENCE!
"Opportunities and Dangers for Journalism: An All-Day Conference." Check it out: [bit.ly]
My talk was a funny introduction to Twitter and Web 2.0.
Does that make Dan not-a-journalist, too?

Dan Lyons, as mean as he can be, at least has a healthy skepticism that's called for in writing about products being pushed by big corporations -- or being pushed by non-journalists.

When I hear "journalist," I think of something serious. Someone who writes news stories. Someone who "gets the story," calls witnesses, looks up documents, pursues leads...
I review gadgets.
A Lexis search for "Pogue+journalist" doesn't change that.

The whole "gadget reviewer" thing points to precisely the problem with a lot of what passes for technology coverage, on the blogs you deride, and even on NPR, which has its own gadget segment now. I remember when the old BYTE magazine gradually turned into yet another PC Magazine-style product catalog and I knew a fun phase of microcomputers had passed, to be replaced by another cynical, hype-filled arm of the consumer culture.
