I have been thinking about this more and more lately and wondering more and more of the same, who reads blogs?\u00a0 Print media seems to be on the decline.\u00a0 It is at the point where Warren Buffet is unwilling to invest in it, which to me says that we will be watching the last of print media in the next several years.\u00a0 Blogs are such a different audience though.\u00a0 Blogs are written for the young and possibly less educated I would say, or at least from the medium I write from.\u00a0 There are different blogs, run by newspapers, radio stations, and tv news stations about things so much different.\u00a0 I wonder if the President Obama reads blogs.\u00a0 Do his staffers use blogs at all to measure public opinion in some sort of qualitative way?<\/p>\n
Employers more and more have come out and said that anything on the Internet or that is public is far game.\u00a0 What can be posted online for protection is now limited.\u00a0 The other location of the JCC in Atlanta faced a lawsuit several years over a photo that someone didn’t like (and won), but as a precaution, we can’t post any pictures publicly using our names that have campers in them without specific consent from parents.\u00a0 The JCC though has parents sign releases so they can post the pictures.\u00a0 Parents always want pictures of their kids at camp (who could blame them, my parents are always online looking for pictures of Anna at Coleman).\u00a0 This all makes me wonder where we will be 10 or 20 years down the road.\u00a0 Are we being too protective?\u00a0 So specific?\u00a0 Are we making decisions that won’t really fix the problems, but rather complicate the everyday process?<\/p>\n
Where has the first amendment gone?\u00a0 Is the press really free?\u00a0 Who actually is the press?\u00a0 Are photos not a form of expression?\u00a0 How can a photo that uses free expression be grounds for any lawsuit?\u00a0 Do people really own their own image?\u00a0 I’m pretty sure in the past when I was little I was used in promotions and I don’t remember signing any release forms, but I’m sure my parents signed something.\u00a0 Whatever release they signed is minor in comparison to the ones we are forced today.\u00a0 Every base needs to be covered.<\/p>\n
Recently we were talking about the McDonald’s Coffee Case where a woman spilled coffee on herself and was severely burned and sued from my understanding because there was nothing on the coffee cup suggesting that the coffee was hot.\u00a0 Now everywhere you look, things say caution (insert adjective here).\u00a0 I am yet to find a caution cold container though, so maybe I can make some big money there, right?\u00a0 You mean this ice cream container is cold?\u00a0 NO WAY!\u00a0 I did not know I had a sense of touch.<\/p>\n
Today looks to be a nice relaxing day.\u00a0 Back to camp tomorrow, but for today I’ll probably just relax all day, do some laundry, take a name, and read some.\u00a0 Oh what a day it shall be!\u00a0 I need to start thinking about packing for Charleston soon.\u00a0 I head back to good ‘ole Chucktown on August 18th, so there are only about 30 more days to go.\u00a0 You have no idea how excited I am.\u00a0 Getting back to work and being back in the office will be very relaxing surprisingly.\u00a0 I’m not too excited about the humidity there, but once it’s September, the weather is unbeatable, so I really don’t have much to complain about.\u00a0 Sadly all of this also means I only have another couple weeks of camp left :(.\u00a0 It’s been a great summer at camp, so I’m sad to see it end.<\/p>\n
Kickball for a Cause:<\/strong><\/p>\n Does anyone know who owns that field with soccer goals that is over by the Aquarium?\u00a0 I want to see if that location is possible for the event.\u00a0 I haven’t done much in the last couple weeks as far as planning goes for this, but there isn’t much I can do considering how remote I am to all the resources I need to make this event happen.<\/p>\n Adios!<\/p>\n Ross<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have been thinking about this more and more lately and wondering more and more of the same, who reads blogs?\u00a0 Print media seems to be on the decline.\u00a0 It is at the point where Warren Buffet is unwilling to invest in it, which to me says that we will be watching the last of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rosskressel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
