Media & Values CML's most recent work is contained in the CML MediaLit Kit, but all of CML's work has its roots in Media&Values magazine. As Media&Values evolved over its 15-year history during the 70's, 80's and 90's, it documented many issues still important and relevant today, and grew from a potpourri of interesting tidbits to a publication with extensive editorial crafting as an educational resource. Media&Values is a direct reflection of the early days of media literacy in the United States, and it provided a foundation for a national movement. By issue #20, each edition had become thematic with inside articles expanding on the cover theme. Soon an editorial Starting Point provided context and by issue #33, a group of Reflection/Action columnists were introduced to offer perspective on the theme from different points of view (women, minorities, children, religion, etc.).

the Web Genius Sweet Search It's a funny old game: Burnout and how to deal with it Unfortunately I'm not talking about the driving game, I'm talking about the all too common and serious condition experienced by many creative professionals who find themselves in situations that promote it. Who either don't get out, don't protect against it or work for an organisation that is ignorant (or even worse don't care) about it. [UPDATE : When you're done there is Part two, preventing burnout in the first place] What is it, how does it feel Well there are two sides to it, firstly there is what the individual experiences and second there is what others see (and how they commonly mistake it, or write it off as something else). For the individual it is wholly depressing, life robbing, exhausting and frustrating. According to a Dutch study GPs have one of the highest rates of burnout, though I dare say software engineers are a close second !

A private social network, just for you and your sweetie The Korean entrepreneurs behind Between have a charming idea: Let couples create one-on-one social networks for purely private sharing. With the app, from South Korea-based VCNC, two people can connect with each another to share private photos and secret messages. The private “chat” function includes support for emoticons, so you can dress up your sweet nothings with as many smiley faces, winks, and hearts as your sweetie can stand. In the future, the network could support coupons or other offers, enabling marketers to reach the desireable demographic of young, happy couples in search of romantic experiences and adventures. “We want to build a global couple platform,” VCNC’s chief executive Jaeuk Park told VentureBeat. Between launched on March 7 at the Launch conference in San Francisco. Perhaps the nicest feature of Between is the ability to view previous communications and photos in an album view called the Memory Box (much like Facebook’s Timeline).

"They're not Swedish Mac, they're Norwegian" Full disclosure: one of my most keenly anticipated movies of next year is the prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing. As I recently said of Alien, The Thing is another of my top-five "Mount Rushmore of Celluloid" films. A movie so influential on me, so close to my black, festering heart that it's position upon that gory edifice is assured until the day I die. So how can I condone this new abomination... this prequel? Quite simply, I just can't help it. Although I've decried the practice of remaking recent movies, I've made my peace now with the remaking of older films. When it was announced that Dawn Of The Dead was being remade, I was among the hordes of righteously angry Romero fans. Dawn '04 was brought to us by the same production company that is behind next year's The Thing - Strike Entertainment. Who goes there? But what of all the little creative details that are so crucially important for this movie, and without which it simply won't work? So. Artwork by Tyler Stout.
