Shared secrets

Postsecret is a blog that publish post cards on which the submitters have written a secret that she or he hasn't told anyone before. The submissions are anonymous.

Some of the post cards made me laugh, others moved me and some of them I can identify with. I won't tell you which ones though.

Sorrounded by Clear Channel

The other morning I heard a song by and some words about an American singer/songwriter called David Rovics. He is very political, critical and left wing. Apparently his songs are not played on the radio in the United States, at least not on the on the stations owned by friendly neighbourhood mega-corporation Clear Channel. According to its web site Clear Channel owns about 1200 radio stations in the US.

In Denmark Clear Channel controls half the market for outdoors advertising and owns the biggest concert booking company DKB-Motor.

Clear Channel supports the republican party in the states and its radio stations favours the conservative side in American politics.

What worries me is not so much that Clear Channel supports George Bush, but rather that one corporation has so much power and influence.

The trouble with weblogs

As regular readers (yes, that's you ro) will no doubt have noticed, I don't post to the blog very often.
So why is it that I have a blog, when I don't write anything? Well, I could say it's because I'm busy, but that's really not true at the moment.

The truth is, that I'm not exactly sure what to write about.

Pretty stupid to begin a blog without any idea what to blog about, huh?

Oh well, I shouldn't dwell on the past. Hopefully the blog post will be more frequent in the future.
