Today is the 290th day of the year, there are 75 days left and I've got a tanker load of issues, observations,news, commentaries and just plain ole stuff waiting in the wings for this forum. My intensity for producing this site has been tested and battered constantly since it's inception. Some days I wonder, "why am I up at 4:30 a.m. editing this madness?"or "anyone getting anything out of this?," or how about, "if there's no GLTB community to speak of, then what gives?" Yes, all these thought provoking tidbits cross mind, every time, and I mean every time, I hit the publish button. Can you say "bitter-party of one?" Well, not exactly, because I believe that this platform is still viable and necessary in this state. Therefore, we persevere as we take another spin out on the search for what' really going on...
Paper Vs. Laptop
Paper vs. Laptop has become a vital aspect in publishing circles as the world embraces digital version of popular publications. Especially in the rockem-sockem rainbow arena where there are so many el
ements at play and a blessed few advertisers. However, a few weekends ago, I was presented with questions about why Little Rock doesn't have a "Gay" newspaper or some type of printed entity with "community news," in it? What you say?
ements at play and a blessed few advertisers. However, a few weekends ago, I was presented with questions about why Little Rock doesn't have a "Gay" newspaper or some type of printed entity with "community news," in it? What you say?Wowy-Kzowy is what I thought. What are these folks talking about and why? The conversation continued with references to the "needs" of the "community" and some business people haven't been "asked" or included. Hold the Presses, was my next thought. Ultimately, the polite meeting ended with promises of a second encounter where we could further explore this. Well, I wanted to bring this idea to the table for discussion. I plan on posting a poll ( yes another one...) here and perhaps on the Sidetracks Yahoo site to gather input. I can't wait for the results.
Diversity Times: Speaking of local press or the lack of it. I had a chance to check in with Shawn and James, publishers of the defunct alternative mag, Pink Spectrum. They still have plans to resume there efforts and have been working on another prototype, entitled Diversity Times. According to them, advertisers have been inquiring, as well as, the general public. Therefore with this new found insight, the duo told me about there beta website where they will be "experimenting" with the concept. They said that they would like for me to take a look and give them some feedback. I have seen it and I wanted to share it will all of you to get your honest feedback. Go now to: http://www.diversitytimes.bravehost.com/ I'll be waiting...
