Attention all you videographers, long photographers, phonographers, experimental photographers, and media-ographers of all stripes... Given Flickr's recent implementation of video, your Seattlest photography komissars sequestered themselves to ponder thoughtfully on the possible implications of YouTube-style videos of last Saturday's kegger, say, or 90 seconds of impertinent poodle tricks on the purity of the photography pool. In the end, the passive voice stepped in and decisions were made. It was decided to make the photo......

In case it doesn't snow too much tonight, or in case you're not too much of a pussy to venture outdoors, head to Queen Anne to network with the organizers of South by Southwest and other like-minded music geek individuals. Join us from 7-9pm on Monday evening, January 28th at Solo Bar in Seattle (200 Roy Street). This is the chance for Pacific Northwest digital creatives to meet with SXSW organizers, as well as......

It was four years ago that we'd started falling in love with the woman who would one day be our wife. It was about that same time that she'd lent us an album called Night Songs by a band called Stars. And if memory serves us with any amount of clarity, our devoted attention to that album became one of the many things which cemented our infatuation with this woman. Night Songs (Stars' first LP)......

Not even merely Blog Hot. She's actually approaching TV Hot. Check her out in this (unfortunately un-embeddable) video clip from KOMO4. However, while KOMO has decided she's attractive enough for TV, the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild has decided her employment at the P-I is egregious enough to warrant a lawsuit. They say she's a reporter and belongs in the guild's bargaining unit. The P-I maintains that she's some kind of new media person and not......

Our glamorous older sister LAist did an interview with local tech CEO Mike Davidson last week that's mostly about how Newsvine is cool and getting cooler (and how you can get in on it), but the interviewer does manage to steer him over to the topic of the general tech scene here in Seattle. How's the new media scene out there? It's good, it's like a mini San Francisco . I don't feel like we're......

If you're a liberal, a Democrat, left-leaning, a new media person, an old media person, a fundraiser, a grassroots organizer, or a blogger or any combination of those you probably already know that some of the cool kids are in town this weekend and have plans to catch them in concert at least once. Markos Moulitsas Zuniga of Daily Kos and Jerome Armstrong of MyDD are going to be kicking around Seattle and the area......

Seattlest doesn't listen to Christopher Lydon's new radio show, Open Source, as often as we'd like. We rarely have the radio on at 9:00 p.m., but we do download their podcast. But we like to keep an eye on their production blog and suggest-a-show threads. We noticed this morning that they'll be in town next week to attend a new media conference. And they're looking for Seattle-based story ideas: So: what are the burning issues......

Davos may be home to the World Economic Forum, cofounded by northwest businessman Bill Gates, but Seattle knows where the new economy is going (because we read Wired). Seattle is hosting the Business Blog Summit. The annual Swiss event may have a blog, but Bill Gates does not. The new economy wants new media. Blog + Bidness = Bling. Getting underway January 24th, the Blog Business Summit promises to bring cash to all the......
