mind camp

I was a bit worried about my 'coverage' of the breaking story that Tara Banks will be going undercover at HyperCamp and impersonating (or cloning) a blogger, that would actually turn out to be Tara Hunt. I'm not sure what I was worried about, Tara is always one step ahead, and I now realise she actually co-opted and lulled the journalist into selectively mis-quoting her about what really happens at these Manson Mind Parties with 'free beers'. Marketing Blog Princess Royalty, Tara's real game planwas to directly, or indirectly get herself onto the Top of Memeorandum (tech subdomain that is) and as Tara so accurately portrays "Getting to the top makes you a total rockstar like an article on blogging lynch mobs or something" Hehe, "like an article on blogging lynch mobs" - dont know what it is : know its funny but. Let me link to that. And to her cross-linking MSDN partner in crime Alex Barnett who also said something which unintelligibly caught my eye : 'Yes, I agree', or 'Nope, that's a pile of pants'. You need to 'add that value': 'I think she's right because of blah' - 'I think he's talking drivel due to the fact that blah' - If newspapers and blogs can be manipulated, where does this stop... Blogging needs its own Kabbalah Red String bracelet me thinks... maybe to be different it could be on the ankle... unisex that is..

The Red String protects us from the influences of the Evil Eye. Evil Eye is a very powerful negative force. It refers to the unfriendly stare and unkind glances we sometimes get from people around us. According to Kabbalah, the critical need to confront the problem of negative influences cannot be underestimated. Kabbalah teaches us that we can remove intrusive negative influences by using tools such as the Red String!
