On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to present part of a CLE class (in Minnesota, attorneys need a certain amount of continuing ed credits to maintain their licenses). It wasn’t much; I just did a brief overview of assistive technology that can be used in the workplace. Much of the focus of the class focused on last year’s Minnesota Supreme Court opinion involving li’l ol’ me (which you can read here). We’re doing an encore on June 25th because of popular demand. Can my film debut be far behind?
Mainstream media has done a shit job covering this story, but on June 2nd the FCC is expected to hold a crucial vote that will make it much easier for one media conglomerate to own multiple newspapers and television stations in one market. Remember how much radio sucked after the 1996 Telecom Act? This would make Clear Channel look like a model of corporate restraint. Educate yourself about the issues by going here or here, and then go here to tell the FCC that the airwaves still belong to the people, not to Michael Eisner or Rupert Murdoch.
