About half of our class is from or in Asia today, where the Lunar New Year is a big holiday.

So — Happy Lunar New Year. Welcome the Year of the Ox.

The Museum of Fine Arts often has an all-day celebration.  The event can be super crowded and it’s super cold in Boston today to stand on line. So, their 7 p.m. virtual celebration might be a blessing. More here.

 

Pink hats meet ABBA: Snapping scenes from the Boston women’s march

So while on WordPress.com you just need to url to post a YouTube video, that doesn't seem to work on this hosted site. Here I've done it with the embed code, which -- last I checked -- does not work on free WordPress.com.

Another note. Be sure to proof the text in your video. This one only had a title, but when I looked at it this morning, "Cambridge" was spelled wrong -- and I live there. How embarrassing. I had already posted it on YouTube  where you can't replace a posted video. And, Tweeted it out!

I save my Snaps but the quality isn't great. I think we can improve on that.

 

Does everyone in heartland America hate the press? One reporter found that the stereotypes don’t quite hold up

Margaret Sullivan is The Washington Post’s media columnist. Previously, she was The New York Times public editor, and the chief editor of The Buffalo News, her hometown paper.

After a surge of hostile email about the press,he decided to ask her neighbors in upstate new York What they thought. 

As the media columnist for The Washington Post, I had lCaptureong ago become used to hostile mail and phone calls from some readers, mostly those supporting Trump, and to trolling on social media. While I have received a lot of appreciative feedback that practically demands to be printed and displayed on the fridge, I have also heard from someone who suggested that my breasts should be cut off with a butcher knife, and from someone who told me that he had a gun and people like me would soon be eliminated. I’ve often been called the “c-word,” a slut and a bitch. Some writers even signed their names to these venomous notes. One reader, John Hanna, was perfectly civil, but told me by phone that he and his wife — both Washington-area physicians — had voted for Trump (whom he nevertheless called “a buffoon”) because of the candidate’s opposition to the “terribly biased” media, particularly the New York Times and The Washington Post.

This summer"interviewed 35 people and chatted with dozens of others. I found very little of what I feared most. And I discovered that some stereotypes about the way heartland Americans view the media don’t quite hold up."

Using Google Street to post 360 photos. Or , is Google street using you?

This are 360 images shot via Google Street View app. So far, I only know how to to publish them to Google Street to embed them with full functionality. (Is that a word?) I also just noticed that between the spring and summer, they removed the jetty where I had my high school yearbook photo taken. (I wish they could remove the bad poem that went into the yearbook with it.)
