Moment of Zen for 7th July July 13, 2009

I guess this is one of my last MoZes…

I re-read my last post and after our last class I have to say (again) that I probably shoudn’t believe everything somebody writes, only because I like his or her style of writing etc. I now think more critically about Joe Trippi, his book and John Edwards.

Just had to say that before you all have a look at my blog tomorrow… ;)

 

Bottom-up, Hair and guest lectures… July 6, 2009

A response to Trippi’s afterword?

My first thought was that it is a real long afterword, more like another chapter in the book…

I like his idea, that most of the things in society don’t work from top-down or only from top-down.. He is right, that a bottom-up approach is a lot more useful.. Not only in politcal campaigning. I remember my class last semester about Hurricane Katrina and in one text a journalist wrote, that it wouldn’t be a good thing to rebuild New Orleans with a top-down approach, because the city once grew up from the bottom…

Anyways, I was also very impressed that Trippi has this disease and still he likes his job that much that he just HAS to do it…  To me it seems like that this is a real passion to him.

I already had the link to his website in a previous post and I also shared it with you on twitter.com, but now after reading the afterword I finally really understand the “Hair”-clip… I thought it was an interesting clip before I had read the text, but now I think it is brillant..

Don’t know what else I can write in response to the afterword, but I’m really impressed by Trippi and can’t he hold a guest lecture in Dortmund? ;)
