Jenkins: Media Literacy Begins at Home
Parents might despair at the alarming amount of time their children spend in front of TV and computer screens. It’s tempting just to pull the plug–but that would deprive kids of an opportunity to gain crucial insights into our media-saturated culture, says columnist Henry Jenkins.

Acumox T-shirt sample ready. The provider promised more long-sleeve style for CNBlog, too. Now colorful pictures can be printed on this new fabric.
Cheers!
OPML, so simple but also confusing a format. Easy to manipuate and easy to make errors.
Also talked with Chedong and Shizhao on Chinese language tokenizing, which can help anaylize Chinese’s words in various blog clusters in future Grassland. Seems not so optimistic. Not like other western languages, Chinese is so bi-meaningful in syntax and spelling to do words seperation.
a weird Japanese character “??” in Schee’s feed, can’t be processed in my local PC(both desktop and notebook) with vbscript string Replace function. However, it passes on CNBlog’s server. There could be some differences between the two system. ( all W2K, local is Professional, while remote must be A-Server). Unicode could be the trouble maker. Can’t bypass this problem. So try to talckle and resolve it, sooner is better.
ATOM feed spec under criticized? Not pay close attention to a pop message in Sharpreader. It could be about ATOM’s embarass situation, will check back after this working hours.
Some RSS feeds in my Sharpreader were put into Grasshopper test list, now I can search over thousands recent posts from these blogs, including my favorite ones. However, I should remove all English feeds in the future to keep Grassland mere for Chinese(Is that fair?)
