mostly flash related fun stuff

all that kept sticking in my mind throughout the reading was the likelihood of someone providing these alternative media groups with false information. i mean, you have to do a hell of a lot of research to verify the information. well, maybe not a hell of a lot, but you have to do a thorough research job. i mean, what was that thing back in the 2004 election, where the onion was quoted by cnn or some other bigshot broadcaster? cbs? abc? i don't remember. anyway, stellar research that team did.

in regards to flash goodies, just yesterday i found this blog dedicated to flash games online, creatively titled jay is. neat stuff, check it out.

also, for a belated freaky easter goodie, here's a digustingly cute korean flash about, erm, eggs. and how awesome they are and how much we all love them, especially when they dress up in little teddy bear and cowboy suits. ... yeah.

I'm pretty sure it was the Chinese state media that reprinted a story from The Onion.

As far as accuracy, it's a pretty serious concern for a lot of alternative media practitioners. They tend to write about local issues and their own personal experiences, rather than issues in other places, but you might find the Radical Reference crew interesting. They're a group of librarians who do fact-checking for Indymedia and other alternative media projects that formed in time for the Republican National Convention in New York. One of their members gave a presentation at the Indyconference here at UT last month.
