Media Consumption Diet - Central Ohio
Thanks to Tina for thinking of me. I learned a new word. Tina’s meme.
I know Tina from her Green Buckeye site.
Web… I started doing email about 1991 or 1992. I saw the something on the internet in 1993.. played on Prodigy bulletin boards with friends. I don’t know when I got my first website, maybe like 1996? or 1997? maybe it was much later.
Browser - Internet Explorer usually… I try to use Firefox… but it looks different. I don’t like change, even if it is subtle.
Aggregator? Huh? Actually I read a lot of blogs on Google Reader if that counts
Wiki … no
Groups: I have done a couple of Yahoo Groups… There was one for Columbus bloggers for a few hours last fall?
Blog Platform - WordPress here. RealTownBlogs.com for Discover Columbus and I was playing on Active Rain, a Real Estate Network…. oooh I am doing ActiveRain again, this has been sitting here a long time.
Oh I started a blog on Blogster.com (thinking it was Blogger.com) in early 2006 and a week later I started one on Blogger. I abandoned both in a couple of weeks I believe.
IM - NEVER
Skype - Never
Radio - NPR or this is very embarassing.. I listen to channel 6 TV, WSYX in the car because I like the sound of TV…
Music - Seldom listen to music. The stereo freaks out the cat. I think he likes listening to the TV with me…. but not in the car.
TV - no cable… but lots of TV… I love the sound… Today Show, The View (on the radio)…. back to TV…I am addicted to LOST, Grey’s Anatomy and Ugly Betty. I think I may have kicked the addiction to Desparate Housewives…
Books - I am not the bookworm I once was.
Podcasts - Not really… but if they could disguise it as WSYX TV I would listen to it.
Communication - Office phone, mobile phone. I have Jaxtr on one of my websites….and maybe Discover Columbus soon….
Magazines - Newsweek every once in awhile or at least a couple of pages in it.
Newspaper - Weekend Columbus Dispatch sometimes sorta… I prefer to read it online.
Local papers. I have to for work and I love The Other Paper.
I meme Elaine Reese, Toby Boyce or Sadie anyway, Lisa of The Restaurant Widow, Paul….of It’s a Paul World.. all Columbusites or Central Ohioans anyway.
Outta town? My old pal Gene Molloy in Chicago… Tribune or Sun Times? Heck I’m memeing more… Mo in Motown.. or a suburb of Detroit anyway Maureen Francis of Michigan, Bonnie Erickson in St. Paul Minnesota. And Teri Lussier in Huber Heights (the Dayton area.)
What’s your media consumption like?
I am sure there is a plugin, sprocket, widget or whirly gig I should install for tags but I haven’t.

I kicked the Desperate Housewives Habit too lol.

Thanks Bonnie! You are quick. I let mine fester for months… and Carole has done one too. Carole I could easily be reinfected by Desparate Housewives… anything with a mystery. Thanks for the comments ladies and thanks for doing the meme.

Late to the party. Again. * sigh* I’ll get to it.
July 5th, 2007 at 07:22 am
It took me months to get to it Teri. No rush… maybe in August when Project Blogger is a happy (?) memory? A distant memory…
Or September… or October?

Hey!
I am following this “media consumption diet” thread and am trying to suggest an idea of a Commfree Day - one day every month to be spent away from media and information technology. I have a post with more explanation about it and will be glad to hear what you and others think about it: http://thinkmacro.wordpress.com/2007/07/08/commfree-day/
Thanks!

Dima I saw your post via a comment on Carole Cohens’ ActiveRain blog and someone else’s (?) before I found your comment here…. I have to do some thinking about a Commfree Day. Thanks for the comment.
