I may be a little behind the curve on this, but I thought that I would join the bandwagon and write a post about the G-20 summit that was just in Pittsburgh. I found it interesting that many of the foreign leaders that visited the city were expecting a smoky, sooty town with poor air [...]

 jason  September 16th, 2009The second band I saw this summer was Green Day (Wikipedia) at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh. I had pretty good seats. Since the floor was general admission (standing), I didn’t go for it due to my continuing recuperation. I am elated that the arena will be gone in a year or so. It is 46 [...] jason September 15th, 2009Just before summer started I changed medications for my trigeminal neuralgia. I was on a rather average dose of a drug called Trileptal. It was causing me extremely tired, weak, and unsteady on my feet. I was walking with a cane and just had no energy or drive. Don’t get me wrong, Trileptal is a [...] jason January 9th, 2009The Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents has continuing coverage on the protest rally tomorrow, Saturday, January 10. Unfortunately, I am not able to attend due to my health. The joys of trigeminal neuralgia in the winter preclude me from the procedings. The escalation of pain is often set off by extreme cold and mine seems to be [...] jason November 25th, 2008Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church visit Pittsburgh to picket the funeral of PA Lt. Governer Catherine Baker Knoll. Also, aggrevated at The Advocate… again.

Today. Today alone I recieved five voicemails, four from the RNC [...] jason October 21st, 2008PodCamp Pittsburgh 3 or PCPGH3 as yinz folks like callin’ it, was full of good times for this now PodCamp veteran. I believe it is so valuable to provide a FREE, casual conference to anyone who wants to learn more about different types of social media. Of course as one who helped organize PCPGH3 I [...] jason October 19th, 2008Now, I’ve been accused of being a die-hard, right wing nut. I also have been accused of being liberal, but not liberal enough. Some people have also called me ultra-liberal. I really describe myself as a moderate. But this conversation is not about politics. It’s about the criticisms we all receive, especially in social media. [...] jason October 18th, 2008At PodCamp Pittsburgh 3 I just gave this presentation on diversity, advocacy, and activism. I really think I hit it on the head this time. You can see the progression over the last few years of my talks on these topics. I think I’ve come to a much better understanding and ability to describe something [...] jason October 16th, 2008This is your LAST reminder to register online for PodCamp Pittsburgh 3. (We really need an accurate count of the people coming and your name to print the name tags. It’s a free conference and I will be presenting “Social Media: Diversity & Activism” on Saturday morning. It is a time to meet new people and learn [...] |
