Joss, etc. (Hi there, links are back)

Joss Whedon interview in Salon. And on Fresh Air talking feminism.

Why Tom Zarek Was Right (BSG spoilers).

Michael Hirschorn, very pessimistic about the networks, sees a lowbrow future.

Inglourious Basterds trailer. Note the spelling and the scars on Brad.

Mindfuck movies. Seems like a boy genre.

Microsoft Stores
are coming.

Facebook now has twice the traffic of MySpace, though MySpace still beats Facebook in the US. (Five times more FB notes were written in January '09 than in October '08, thanks to 25 things).

A zigzigger is a remote control. It's a term adapted (by my little brother) from hip-hop dj lingo. It might also refer to the person doing the zigzigging, surfing the waves of media.

The author of this blog is Michael Z. Newman, assistant professor in the Dept. of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In Fall '09 I am teaching Intro to Mass Media and Principles of Media Studies. Contact me at mznewman37/gmail.
