(Photo: Shea Sweeney)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Why would I subject my father and myself to the public scrutiny associated with purchasing and using a selfie stick? Because I recently discovered that my close friend is a selfie stick owner — a fact she reluctantly revealed to me. Which made me wonder how many other people in my life are hiding selfie sticks like dirty little secrets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Probably a few more after Kate Murphy wrote in the aforementioned \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> article, “Much of the research on selfies reveals that (surprise!) people who take a lot of them tend to have narcissistic, psychopathic and Machiavellian personality traits — which may explain why they are oblivious when they bonk you on the head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The notion that selfies can foster not only psychological but also bodily harm increases as more locations ban selfie sticks, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/six-flags-bans-selfie-sticks-2015-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Six Flags\u003c/a>, Disney theme parks and \u003ca href=\"http://www.examiner.com/article/museums-ban-selfie-sticks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Vatican\u003c/a>. Non-users and institutions see obliviousness quickly turning to aggression as these telescoping sticks become potential battering batons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than anything, a selfie stick is just a gangly low-tech marker of a pervasive high-tech problem. We all try in our own way to present the best version of ourselves online, whether that means taking no selfies or all the selfies. It’s all absurdity, as this College Humor video shows, with or without a stick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj-CarSGo-4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as \u003ca href=\"http://www.canibringmyselfiestick.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">canibringmyselfiestick.com\u003c/a> will tell you, there are still plenty of places where the bold can extend their telescoping devices. Four months into hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, 23-year-old Emily Bays says many hikers bring converters to turn their trekking poles into selfie sticks. At least in the wilderness there are fewer people to judge you, or maybe just fewer people to take your picture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the major selling points of the selfie stick is that it allows the user to fit more people in their photograph. I would like to believe this proves that users would prefer to take their pictures with other people. So if you own a selfie stick, I’m here to tell you that we can still be friends and we should totally take a picture together — I’m looking at you \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewgauthier/the-president-uses-a-selfie-stick#.eeJpQMy2R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obama\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10888141\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1100px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10888141 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/ObamaSelfie.jpg\" alt=\"Screen capture from a Buzzfeed video made in partnership with President Obama to spread the word about an Affordable Healthcare Act deadline, 2015.

Oh, maybe because she wrote every song she's released (minus the covers), has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, holds the title for most weeks at #1 (16) and has had 18 #1 singles (only the Beatles have more at 20). I could go on, but this post is already going to be super long so I won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What better way to show appreciation for 25 years worth of artistic output than to watch every music video Mariah has produced (minus remixes and feature spots on other people's songs because I have to eventually get back to my life)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took me two weeks, but I made it. Some takeaways: Mariah loves small animals, Christmas, singing in the rain, journaling, picking up children, getting revenge, playing evil brunettes, gesturing with her fingers, waving at the camera, and crying single tears for dramatic purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is a ranking from worst to best, based on a not-so-scientific formula that factors in storyline, aesthetic and whether the video inspires me to throw up praise hands or not.

Oh, maybe because she wrote every song she's released (minus the covers), has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, holds the title for most weeks at #1 (16) and has had 18 #1 singles (only the Beatles have more at 20). I could go on, but this post is already going to be super long so I won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What better way to show appreciation for 25 years worth of artistic output than to watch every music video Mariah has produced (minus remixes and feature spots on other people's songs because I have to eventually get back to my life)?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took me two weeks, but I made it. Some takeaways: Mariah loves small animals, Christmas, singing in the rain, journaling, picking up children, getting revenge, playing evil brunettes, gesturing with her fingers, waving at the camera, and crying single tears for dramatic purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following is a ranking from worst to best, based on a not-so-scientific formula that factors in storyline, aesthetic and whether the video inspires me to throw up praise hands or not. This is not a judgment on the songs themselves so save your tweets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Note:\u003c/strong> Some computers just couldn't handle all this Mariah so look for page numbers at the bottom of the post to navigate through Mariah's career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>It’s almost impossible to enter the blogosphere these days without encountering the latest about how universities continue to mishandle rape cases. There are countless articles and entire books dedicated to parsing what’s gone wrong on college campuses across the nation, and how to better handle things going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, this past April saw the release of Jon Krakauer’s \u003cem>Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town\u003c/em>, a book that details the inadequate handling of sexual assault cases committed against female college students in Missoula, Montana over the course of two years. We’ve spent the past academic year watching Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz, who many consider to be the face of the college anti-rape movement, drag her mattress all across campus in protest of Columbia’s failure to expel her alleged rapist. In fact, in a recent \u003cem>LA Times\u003c/em> article, columnist Meghan Daum referred to the past school year as the “Year We Decided Women Aren’t Safe on College Campuses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the term “rape culture” so heavy in today’s zeitgeist, it’s hard not to feel like we’re getting it wrong all the time. But I recently came across an example of a TV show that got it right...17 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having missed it the first time around, I began watching the late ’90s/early 2000s WB hit \u003cem>Felicity\u003c/em>. When a rape scandal began to unfold early on in the first season, I braced myself for what I knew—or what I thought I knew—was about to get very ugly. So when the show handled the plotline well, I was pleasantly surprised—shocked even.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things start out promising for Julie (Felicity’s BFF) and Zach (played by Devon Gummersall, who will always be Brian Krakow to me). They meet in the laundry room amidst Zach realizing he’s dyed all his clothes pink, as he hasn’t yet learned to separate colors from whites. Soon they’re dining in the cafeteria together, and going to see \u003cem>Solaris\u003c/em> at the Mercer. She watches his short film, which he later asks her to record music for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There\u003cem> are\u003c/em> some signs that he’s a little weird, though. He reacts poorly when she critiques his film—even though he asks her to!—but eventually realizes his mistake and addresses it (he doesn’t actually ever apologize, though, which I almost missed). He’s a tad dramatic when she’s apprehensive about their first kiss and he responds by asking for a noose. And he gets a little momentarily aggressive in a subsequent make out sesh. But he’s also awesome. It turns out the reason Julie gets “really freaked out” when Zach kisses her is because, she tells him later, “You treat me like an actual person,” which is something she’s obviously not used to from a suitor. Felicity even tells Julie that she’s jealous of her and Zach’s “whole situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When, just a few scenes later, we watch Julie and Zach giggle their way back to her dorm room after recording music and going out—Zach has a token beer in his hand, of course!—we don’t know what’s in store. They kiss into her room, and he shuts the door behind them, ending the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, we see Julie in her room folding laundry and looking despondent; she eventually tells Felicity, and then a doctor at the hospital, what happened that night with Zach. This includes that their hooking up started out as consensual and switched in the middle. Though Julie’s unsure if what happened was rape as she didn’t “scream” or “hit him,” and “he wasn’t violent,” her doctor confirms that indeed it was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s so incredible about the story line is that there’s a lot of nuance and ambiguity in these relationships and interactions. Julie and Zach liked and even respected each other; they had a good thing going; they made out for half an hour before she said she didn’t want to have sex—but it was \u003cem>still\u003c/em> rape! Because that’s the thing—rape, and especially non-stranger rape (the most common kind)—is rarely black and white; and you don’t have to be an entirely bad guy to commit it. Admittedly, this is a somewhat difficult concept to follow, let alone get right on a television show, but the fact that \u003cem>Felicity\u003c/em> goes for it and nails it, and all the way back in 1998, no less, is nothing short of revolutionary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just the nuances of the relationship that \u003cem>Felicity \u003c/em>pegs; it’s the logistics too. Felicity and Noel (her RA and sometimes love interest) seek out a school counselor to find out what Julie’s options are, and the counselor very thoroughly spells out all the avenues she can take. Buoyed along by her friends’ encouragement, Julie eventually meets with the school counselor herself, and it’s implied that it’s in this meeting that Julie reports Zach, as the next time we see him he’s being pulled out of class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it takes Zach a while to grasp the magnitude of everything—he goes from clueless to defensive, at first—he eventually does, and the last conversation he and Julie have is surprisingly endearing. Julie, anxious that Zach doesn’t know what he’s in for, goes to tell him she’s fighting this, only to find him packing to leave school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they talk, he isn’t defensive; he admits that what happened was in fact rape even though he “didn’t attack [her]; [he] didn’t rip [her] clothes off,” mirroring back Julie's fears from earlier in the episode. He hands her a note he was going to leave her. “It says all the obvious stuff—how sorry I am, how horrible that night must have been for you, how I wish things would have happened \u003cem>very\u003c/em> differently.” He tells her it wasn’t her fault; he actually apologizes this time, using the words “I’m sorry” and everything.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>It’s almost impossible to enter the blogosphere these days without encountering the latest about how universities continue to mishandle rape cases. There are countless articles and entire books dedicated to parsing what’s gone wrong on college campuses across the nation, and how to better handle things going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, this past April saw the release of Jon Krakauer’s \u003cem>Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town\u003c/em>, a book that details the inadequate handling of sexual assault cases committed against female college students in Missoula, Montana over the course of two years. We’ve spent the past academic year watching Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz, who many consider to be the face of the college anti-rape movement, drag her mattress all across campus in protest of Columbia’s failure to expel her alleged rapist. In fact, in a recent \u003cem>LA Times\u003c/em> article, columnist Meghan Daum referred to the past school year as the “Year We Decided Women Aren’t Safe on College Campuses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the term “rape culture” so heavy in today’s zeitgeist, it’s hard not to feel like we’re getting it wrong all the time. But I recently came across an example of a TV show that got it right...17 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having missed it the first time around, I began watching the late ’90s/early 2000s WB hit \u003cem>Felicity\u003c/em>. When a rape scandal began to unfold early on in the first season, I braced myself for what I knew—or what I thought I knew—was about to get very ugly. So when the show handled the plotline well, I was pleasantly surprised—shocked even.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things start out promising for Julie (Felicity’s BFF) and Zach (played by Devon Gummersall, who will always be Brian Krakow to me). They meet in the laundry room amidst Zach realizing he’s dyed all his clothes pink, as he hasn’t yet learned to separate colors from whites. Soon they’re dining in the cafeteria together, and going to see \u003cem>Solaris\u003c/em> at the Mercer. She watches his short film, which he later asks her to record music for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He reacts poorly when she critiques his film—even though he asks her to!—but eventually realizes his mistake and addresses it (he doesn’t actually ever apologize, though, which I almost missed). He’s a tad dramatic when she’s apprehensive about their first kiss and he responds by asking for a noose. And he gets a little momentarily aggressive in a subsequent make out sesh. But he’s also awesome. It turns out the reason Julie gets “really freaked out” when Zach kisses her is because, she tells him later, “You treat me like an actual person,” which is something she’s obviously not used to from a suitor. Felicity even tells Julie that she’s jealous of her and Zach’s “whole situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When, just a few scenes later, we watch Julie and Zach giggle their way back to her dorm room after recording music and going out—Zach has a token beer in his hand, of course!—we don’t know what’s in store. They kiss into her room, and he shuts the door behind them, ending the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, we see Julie in her room folding laundry and looking despondent; she eventually tells Felicity, and then a doctor at the hospital, what happened that night with Zach. This includes that their hooking up started out as consensual and switched in the middle. Though Julie’s unsure if what happened was rape as she didn’t “scream” or “hit him,” and “he wasn’t violent,” her doctor confirms that indeed it was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s so incredible about the story line is that there’s a lot of nuance and ambiguity in these relationships and interactions. Julie and Zach liked and even respected each other; they had a good thing going; they made out for half an hour before she said she didn’t want to have sex—but it was \u003cem>still\u003c/em> rape! Because that’s the thing—rape, and especially non-stranger rape (the most common kind)—is rarely black and white; and you don’t have to be an entirely bad guy to commit it. Admittedly, this is a somewhat difficult concept to follow, let alone get right on a television show, but the fact that \u003cem>Felicity\u003c/em> goes for it and nails it, and all the way back in 1998, no less, is nothing short of revolutionary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just the nuances of the relationship that \u003cem>Felicity \u003c/em>pegs; it’s the logistics too. Felicity and Noel (her RA and sometimes love interest) seek out a school counselor to find out what Julie’s options are, and the counselor very thoroughly spells out all the avenues she can take. Buoyed along by her friends’ encouragement, Julie eventually meets with the school counselor herself, and it’s implied that it’s in this meeting that Julie reports Zach, as the next time we see him he’s being pulled out of class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it takes Zach a while to grasp the magnitude of everything—he goes from clueless to defensive, at first—he eventually does, and the last conversation he and Julie have is surprisingly endearing. Julie, anxious that Zach doesn’t know what he’s in for, goes to tell him she’s fighting this, only to find him packing to leave school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they talk, he isn’t defensive; he admits that what happened was in fact rape even though he “didn’t attack [her]; [he] didn’t rip [her] clothes off,” mirroring back Julie's fears from earlier in the episode. He hands her a note he was going to leave her. “It says all the obvious stuff—how sorry I am, how horrible that night must have been for you, how I wish things would have happened \u003cem>very\u003c/em> differently.” He tells her it wasn’t her fault; he actually apologizes this time, using the words “I’m sorry” and everything. Julie says she’s sorry too; because she is. Not because she did anything wrong, but because she wishes it had gone down differently too.\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, Julie didn’t have to wait for a school court to decide her fate like Emma Sulkowicz and so many others, and she never had to testify. Whatever the dean of the university said to Zach in their meeting must have been pretty hardcore because he admitted to the dean—and then to his parents—that he was guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The gray-bearded guru had significant health problems, made worse by cigarette smoking and the stress of the Dead’s tour schedule. In 1986, he nearly died when he slipped into a diabetic coma, but the Grim Reaper wasn’t ready just then. On Aug. 9, 1995, it was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia was found unresponsive in bed just after 4 a.m. A staff nurse and local paramedics frantically administered CPR, but it was too late: Jerry Garcia, who had just turned 53, was dead of a heart attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Garcia’s body was driven down a winding wooded road to the local coroner, a wildly different scene was occurring 3,000 miles to the east, at Manhattan’s Nasdaq stock market.

Venture capitalist John Doerr, an early investor, later recalled: “When I checked the price, I was numb.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By day’s end, Netscape’s stock price had settled in at $58.25, giving the company a market value of $2.9 billion. The firm was only 16 months old and had yet to make a profit, but none of that seemed to matter on the day the Netscape bottle rocket lit up the sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>he Netscape IPO was to tech entrepreneurs what the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan show was to pop music fans -- the astonishing moment when a mental door flew open and a new world awaited, in glorious Technicolor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade later, \u003ca href=\"http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/07/25/8266639/index.htm\">Adam Lashinsky spelled out \u003c/a>what Netscape’s IPO meant in Fortune:\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More than any other company, it set the technological, social, and financial tone of the Internet age. Its founders, Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark -- a baby-faced 24-year-old programmer from the Midwest and a restless middle-aged tech pioneer who badly wanted to strike gold again -- inspired a generation of entrepreneurs to try to become tech millionaires.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month after Netscape went public, eBay was founded. The following spring, Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin began developing a Web-based “crawling” technology called BackRub, laying the foundation for the creation of Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of the IPO created the term “Netscape Moment” -- a giddy point that marks the starting gun of a new industry and age. Many business historians say the dot-com boom began that day. Soon, everyone was pestering their broker for tips on new companies. Day trading of stocks via online brokers such as Ameritrade or Etrade was now considered a career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies like \u003ca href=\"http://www.redhat.com/en/about/company\">Red Hat Software\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/company-history.jsp\">Akamai Technologies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobe.com/\">theGlobe.com\u003c/a> would surpass even Netscape’s heights, seeing their shares rise more than 400 percent in their first day of trading -- an excitement that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously called “irrational exuberance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Was it? Business was radically and quickly reshaped worldwide by inexpensive communications based on a browser-based Internet. It was the biggest era of U.S. wealth creation in generations. Within five years, the tech-heavy Nasdaq soared from 1,000 companies to more than 5,100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spontaneous Wake\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in San Francisco, the early glimmers of the Internet gold rush meant little to mourning Grateful Dead fans, who had lost an irreplaceable musical god. A spontaneous citywide wake developed. Mayor Frank Jordan ordered city flags to fly at half-staff\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds gathered in Haight-Ashbury, the low-rent neighborhood that formed a spiritual base for 1960s counterculture. Some sat on the stoop of 710 Ashbury, the ornate house where the Grateful Dead briefly lived, to console, cry, talk it out and get high. Thousands of mourners gathered in Golden Gate Park, listening to tapes of the Dead and creating a makeshift shrine to Jerry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[jerrygarciamourners]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Dead guitarist Bob Weir went ahead with a scheduled solo show in Hampton Beach, N.H. “If our dear, departed friend proved anything to us,” Weir told the crowd, “he proved that great music can make sad times better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Deadheads high and low knew better -- an age had passed. Sen. Patrick Leahy said the news of Garcia’s death felt “like I had been kicked in the stomach.” A month earlier, at the band’s final gig with Garcia in Chicago, they ended the show with the song “Box of Rain” and its prescient lyrics: “Such a long long time to be gone/and a short time to be there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch2>\"So Many Roads\" From Garcia's Final Concert\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6sFyRQPraJ8\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For Garcia and many Deadheads, that short time was now over. The group had survived the death of other active members -- founding member Ron \"Pigpen\" McKernan succumbed to an internal hemorrhage in 1973, and keyboardist Brent Mydland died from a drug overdose in 1990 -- but the loss of their colorful leader, affectionately known as Captain Trips, was insurmountable. Within four months of Garcia’s passing, the band that had meant so much to so many officially called it quits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the closing bell of the stock market, Netscape shareholders were also in a state of shock, although a delightful one. Many were now staggeringly wealthy. Jim Clark’s 20 percent share was suddenly worth $663 million. Champagne bottles were popped open; toasts were made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heady days were still ahead, but nothing compared with the surreal euphoria of that first day. Netscape’s stock peaked in late 1995 at $171 share, before its market share began to slip. AOL acquired the company in 1999 for $10 billion, but by 2002 it was sliding rapidly and had less than 10 percent of the browser market. In early 2008, AOL finally pulled the plug on the Netscape browser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on that warm August day in 1995, Netheads and Deadheads shared a moment of high drama and importance -- one group thrilling to a colorful dawn, the other wistfully watching a darkening sunset. The zeitgeist was changing. The fading notes of the psychedelic age started to be drowned out by the buzz of red-hot startups. LSD was replaced by IPO. Idealism was out; stock options were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people made the connection at the time, and soon after Garcia’s death some black humor began circulating in the Silicon Valley high-tech community:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What were Jerry Garcia’s last words?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Netscape opened at WHAT?!”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today is the 20th anniversary of that momentous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>James Daly is a Bay Area journalist and entrepreneur -- frequently both.

Venture capitalist John Doerr, an early investor, later recalled: “When I checked the price, I was numb.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By day’s end, Netscape’s stock price had settled in at $58.25, giving the company a market value of $2.9 billion. The firm was only 16 months old and had yet to make a profit, but none of that seemed to matter on the day the Netscape bottle rocket lit up the sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>he Netscape IPO was to tech entrepreneurs what the Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan show was to pop music fans -- the astonishing moment when a mental door flew open and a new world awaited, in glorious Technicolor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decade later, \u003ca href=\"http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/07/25/8266639/index.htm\">Adam Lashinsky spelled out \u003c/a>what Netscape’s IPO meant in Fortune:\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More than any other company, it set the technological, social, and financial tone of the Internet age. Its founders, Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark -- a baby-faced 24-year-old programmer from the Midwest and a restless middle-aged tech pioneer who badly wanted to strike gold again -- inspired a generation of entrepreneurs to try to become tech millionaires.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month after Netscape went public, eBay was founded. The following spring, Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin began developing a Web-based “crawling” technology called BackRub, laying the foundation for the creation of Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of the IPO created the term “Netscape Moment” -- a giddy point that marks the starting gun of a new industry and age. Many business historians say the dot-com boom began that day. Soon, everyone was pestering their broker for tips on new companies. Day trading of stocks via online brokers such as Ameritrade or Etrade was now considered a career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies like \u003ca href=\"http://www.redhat.com/en/about/company\">Red Hat Software\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/company-history.jsp\">Akamai Technologies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobe.com/\">theGlobe.com\u003c/a> would surpass even Netscape’s heights, seeing their shares rise more than 400 percent in their first day of trading -- an excitement that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously called “irrational exuberance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Was it? Business was radically and quickly reshaped worldwide by inexpensive communications based on a browser-based Internet. It was the biggest era of U.S. wealth creation in generations. Within five years, the tech-heavy Nasdaq soared from 1,000 companies to more than 5,100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spontaneous Wake\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in San Francisco, the early glimmers of the Internet gold rush meant little to mourning Grateful Dead fans, who had lost an irreplaceable musical god. A spontaneous citywide wake developed. Mayor Frank Jordan ordered city flags to fly at half-staff\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds gathered in Haight-Ashbury, the low-rent neighborhood that formed a spiritual base for 1960s counterculture. Some sat on the stoop of 710 Ashbury, the ornate house where the Grateful Dead briefly lived, to console, cry, talk it out and get high. Thousands of mourners gathered in Golden Gate Park, listening to tapes of the Dead and creating a makeshift shrine to Jerry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[jerrygarciamourners]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Dead guitarist Bob Weir went ahead with a scheduled solo show in Hampton Beach, N.H. “If our dear, departed friend proved anything to us,” Weir told the crowd, “he proved that great music can make sad times better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Deadheads high and low knew better -- an age had passed. Sen. Patrick Leahy said the news of Garcia’s death felt “like I had been kicked in the stomach.” A month earlier, at the band’s final gig with Garcia in Chicago, they ended the show with the song “Box of Rain” and its prescient lyrics: “Such a long long time to be gone/and a short time to be there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch2>\"So Many Roads\" From Garcia's Final Concert\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6sFyRQPraJ8\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For Garcia and many Deadheads, that short time was now over. The group had survived the death of other active members -- founding member Ron \"Pigpen\" McKernan succumbed to an internal hemorrhage in 1973, and keyboardist Brent Mydland died from a drug overdose in 1990 -- but the loss of their colorful leader, affectionately known as Captain Trips, was insurmountable. Within four months of Garcia’s passing, the band that had meant so much to so many officially called it quits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the closing bell of the stock market, Netscape shareholders were also in a state of shock, although a delightful one. Many were now staggeringly wealthy. Jim Clark’s 20 percent share was suddenly worth $663 million. Champagne bottles were popped open; toasts were made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heady days were still ahead, but nothing compared with the surreal euphoria of that first day. Netscape’s stock peaked in late 1995 at $171 share, before its market share began to slip. AOL acquired the company in 1999 for $10 billion, but by 2002 it was sliding rapidly and had less than 10 percent of the browser market. In early 2008, AOL finally pulled the plug on the Netscape browser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on that warm August day in 1995, Netheads and Deadheads shared a moment of high drama and importance -- one group thrilling to a colorful dawn, the other wistfully watching a darkening sunset. The zeitgeist was changing. The fading notes of the psychedelic age started to be drowned out by the buzz of red-hot startups. LSD was replaced by IPO. Idealism was out; stock options were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people made the connection at the time, and soon after Garcia’s death some black humor began circulating in the Silicon Valley high-tech community:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What were Jerry Garcia’s last words?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Netscape opened at WHAT?!”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today is the 20th anniversary of that momentous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It isn't just because we like singing along to \"Wannabe\" or showing off the simple choreography we learned from the \"Stop\" music video. It's because these girls and their music helped us develop our ideas of who we are and how we treat each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the 20th anniversary of their first single is coming up, there's been speculation that the girls will do another tour or a one-off show or a single or something. Mel B fanned the flames this week by going on talk shows and saying things like, \"Hopefully, we’ll gather the troops around and we’ll get to do something to celebrate it next year. It's in my plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And earlier this week, some report claimed that the girls were plotting a comeback tour without Victoria Beckham a.k.a. Posh Spice. As we learned after Geri left (#grrr), it just isn't the Spice Girls without all five of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do some of the other girls think of all of this noise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's all news to Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton (Sporty and Baby):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MelanieCmusic/status/629549703173140480\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/EmmaBunton/status/629554494603460608\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emma went on to say: \"Nothing's happening at the moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now here's where I get controversial: I don't need a reunion. Yes, I am a super fan, love them an inordinate amount and would most likely see them again, given the opportunity. But they've already reunited for us several times. Even if they do another reunion tour, we'll just ask for another in three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're insatiable. But more than that, we just don't know how to accept the end of something. With countless adaptations and reboots and reunions, we've lost our ability to just appreciate what was. We've come to believe that it's not enough for a movie, TV show or band to have made an impact at some point in the past; now we expect them to continue entertaining us, expiration dates be damned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So are the Spice Girls actually reuniting in 2016? Maybe, maybe not. The better question is why we keep insisting that they do.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They also honored and celebrated femininity and their sexualities in a time when no one else was really doing that on such a large scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/SPICE-GIRLS-FEMINISM.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17530\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/SPICE-GIRLS-FEMINISM.jpg\" alt=\"SPICE-GIRLS-FEMINISM\" width=\"500\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/SPICE-GIRLS-FEMINISM.jpg 500w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/08/SPICE-GIRLS-FEMINISM-400x282.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if you didn't already know, this is why fans get so excited when news of a Spice Girls reunion bubbles up. It isn't just because we like singing along to \"Wannabe\" or showing off the simple choreography we learned from the \"Stop\" music video. It's because these girls and their music helped us develop our ideas of who we are and how we treat each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the 20th anniversary of their first single is coming up, there's been speculation that the girls will do another tour or a one-off show or a single or something. Mel B fanned the flames this week by going on talk shows and saying things like, \"Hopefully, we’ll gather the troops around and we’ll get to do something to celebrate it next year. It's in my plan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And earlier this week, some report claimed that the girls were plotting a comeback tour without Victoria Beckham a.k.a. Posh Spice. As we learned after Geri left (#grrr), it just isn't the Spice Girls without all five of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do some of the other girls think of all of this noise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's all news to Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton (Sporty and Baby):\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yes, I am a super fan, love them an inordinate amount and would most likely see them again, given the opportunity. But they've already reunited for us several times.

With countless adaptations and reboots and reunions, we've lost our ability to just appreciate what was.

A commercial and critical flop upon its release, it didn't take long for obsessive fans -- those of us who immediately felt that the deeply absurdist, gleefully nonsensical universe in which Camp Firewood is situated was \u003cem>home -- \u003c/em>to turn the film into the stuff of legends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet while \u003cem>WHAS\u003c/em> might be this gang's best-known work, die-hard fans of Wain, Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black, et al. know the movie is just one small part of their ouevre. Originally formed as a comedy collective at NYU in the late '80s, MTV's \u003cem>The State \u003c/em>is still probably the weirdest (in a good way) thing to ever air on the station. In the decades that followed, \u003cem>Stella\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Wainy Days,\u003c/em> \u003cem>Reno 911!\u003c/em>, the podcast\u003cem> Michael & Michael Have Issues\u003c/em>, and a slew of Wain's more commercially successful fare (\u003cem>Role Models, They Came Together) \u003c/em>have all kept the crew tight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Accordingly, \u003cem>First Day of Camp\u003c/em> is packed with references that reward not only hardcore fans of the movie, but devotees of Wain's universe at large.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Lillian Mongeau\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you ask me, the main thing that’s been missing from our portrayal of women in movies is simple: farting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farting is funny. But more than that, it's human. And women tend not to do it on camera. Though, as a woman who knows a lot of women, I can assure you that it's a fairly regular occurrence off camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And farting women, I think, can be seen as a proxy for human women, female characters who do not fit the familiar tropes: pretty, but brainless; clever, but wicked; smart, but lonely. Women who fart (and have bad hair days and are larger than a size 2) are Jane Schmoe—average gals, just making their way through life like the rest of us. And they've been a rare commodity on screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, there has been a notable rise in the number of women-who-seem-like-they-probably-fart in our pop culture diet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problem is far from solved. Of 120 popular films released between January 2010 and May 2013, only 31 percent of speaking or named characters were female, according to \u003ca href=\"http://seejane.org/wp-content/uploads/gender-bias-without-borders-full-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a 2014 report\u003c/a> by the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. And only 23 percent of lead actors in those films were female. Women actors were also twice as likely to be thin, naked or partially naked and to be shown in sexually revealing clothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a depressing number of films still fail the “Bechdel Test,” wherein two named female characters have to talk to each other about something other than men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is—mother knows—a lot of work left to do. But we are moving in the right direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, there was \u003cem>Bridesmaids\u003c/em> in 2011. From Maya Rudolph taking a dump in the middle of a street to Kristen Wiig succeeding, despite a chocolate fountain fight and overall terrible behavior on her part, this movie had it all. For the first time ever, I felt like I was watching people I actually knew and friendships I actually understood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie managed to be universally funny, while being even funnier for women because we have all been there. Yes, we’ve felt overshadowed by an obnoxiously perfect friend of a friend. Yes, we’ve felt like we were about to pass out while trussed up in a ridiculous dress. Yes, we’ve felt completely nonplussed at some guy’s overconfidence in his ability to turn us on. Yes, yes, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s only gotten better since. This year alone, Shailene Woodley stepped right over “artfully mussed” and had a truly bad hair day in a prison scene in \u003cem>Insurgent\u003c/em>. Melissa McCarthy broke about a zillion barriers in one film as the smart, crass desk jockey turned spy in the bluntly named, \u003cem>Spy\u003c/em>. Women have even stepped into their own in the field of blockbuster action movies with the critically acclaimed \u003cem>Mad Max: Fury Road\u003c/em>, which I didn’t understand at all, but hey, there was an aged female biker gang, so I’m not complaining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s the broader pop cultural sweep: Julianna Margulies is playing one of the most multi-dimensional female characters ever to lead a TV series in \u003cem>The Good Wife\u003c/em>. Her picture perfect looks as the lawyer Alicia Florrick aren’t anything new, but her ambition, sexuality and complicated feelings about motherhood are a breath of fresh air for female viewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor Swift is making millions on some of the funniest music videos I’ve seen. She dances awkwardly in “Shake It Off,” leads a band of people dressed as dogs (what?) in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and tries out every single action hero trope there is in “Bad Blood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a new generation of men are helping the transition right along, from Andy Grammer singing about politely turning down a woman’s advances in favor of going home to his wife to Jimmy Fallon treating his female guests like, umm, people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So maybe it shouldn’t have been as surprising as it was when the Women’s World Cup final game became not only the most-watched soccer game ever broadcast on an English-language news station in America, but also one of the top sporting events of the year, beating the World Series final and the NBA final, with 25.4 million viewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An apparently baffled \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> reporter tried to get to the bottom of the numbers, citing things like “group viewing” and “good time of day,” while completely leaving out what seems an obvious point to me: Women were watching. We were watching people who look like us, who run and jump and stumble and spit and (I’m guessing) fart. It was glorious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because all we really want out of our entertainment, all anyone really wants, is to see ourselves reflected in it, to feel like enough of the in-crowd to get a fair shake on the big screen. It’s taken a long time for women to get even this far. For people of color, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/tumblr-video-series-every-single-word-dylan-marron-reveals-how-rarely-people-of-color-speak-in-popular-films\" target=\"_blank\">we are not even this far\u003c/a>. There is a long way to go. But for the first time in my life, it feels like we’re getting there.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But more than that, it's human. And women tend not to do it on camera. Though, as a woman who knows a lot of women, I can assure you that it's a fairly regular occurrence off camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And farting women, I think, can be seen as a proxy for human women, female characters who do not fit the familiar tropes: pretty, but brainless; clever, but wicked; smart, but lonely. Women who fart (and have bad hair days and are larger than a size 2) are Jane Schmoe—average gals, just making their way through life like the rest of us. And they've been a rare commodity on screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Of 120 popular films released between January 2010 and May 2013, only 31 percent of speaking or named characters were female, according to \u003ca href=\"http://seejane.org/wp-content/uploads/gender-bias-without-borders-full-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a 2014 report\u003c/a> by the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. And only 23 percent of lead actors in those films were female. Women actors were also twice as likely to be thin, naked or partially naked and to be shown in sexually revealing clothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a depressing number of films still fail the “Bechdel Test,” wherein two named female characters have to talk to each other about something other than men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is—mother knows—a lot of work left to do. But we are moving in the right direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, there was \u003cem>Bridesmaids\u003c/em> in 2011. From Maya Rudolph taking a dump in the middle of a street to Kristen Wiig succeeding, despite a chocolate fountain fight and overall terrible behavior on her part, this movie had it all. For the first time ever, I felt like I was watching people I actually knew and friendships I actually understood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie managed to be universally funny, while being even funnier for women because we have all been there. Yes, we’ve felt overshadowed by an obnoxiously perfect friend of a friend. Yes, we’ve felt like we were about to pass out while trussed up in a ridiculous dress. Yes, we’ve felt completely nonplussed at some guy’s overconfidence in his ability to turn us on. Yes, yes, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s only gotten better since. This year alone, Shailene Woodley stepped right over “artfully mussed” and had a truly bad hair day in a prison scene in \u003cem>Insurgent\u003c/em>. Melissa McCarthy broke about a zillion barriers in one film as the smart, crass desk jockey turned spy in the bluntly named, \u003cem>Spy\u003c/em>. Women have even stepped into their own in the field of blockbuster action movies with the critically acclaimed \u003cem>Mad Max: Fury Road\u003c/em>, which I didn’t understand at all, but hey, there was an aged female biker gang, so I’m not complaining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s the broader pop cultural sweep: Julianna Margulies is playing one of the most multi-dimensional female characters ever to lead a TV series in \u003cem>The Good Wife\u003c/em>. Her picture perfect looks as the lawyer Alicia Florrick aren’t anything new, but her ambition, sexuality and complicated feelings about motherhood are a breath of fresh air for female viewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor Swift is making millions on some of the funniest music videos I’ve seen. She dances awkwardly in “Shake It Off,” leads a band of people dressed as dogs (what?) in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and tries out every single action hero trope there is in “Bad Blood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a new generation of men are helping the transition right along, from Andy Grammer singing about politely turning down a woman’s advances in favor of going home to his wife to Jimmy Fallon treating his female guests like, umm, people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So maybe it shouldn’t have been as surprising as it was when the Women’s World Cup final game became not only the most-watched soccer game ever broadcast on an English-language news station in America, but also one of the top sporting events of the year, beating the World Series final and the NBA final, with 25.4 million viewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An apparently baffled \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> reporter tried to get to the bottom of the numbers, citing things like “group viewing” and “good time of day,” while completely leaving out what seems an obvious point to me: Women were watching. We were watching people who look like us, who run and jump and stumble and spit and (I’m guessing) fart. It was glorious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because all we really want out of our entertainment, all anyone really wants, is to see ourselves reflected in it, to feel like enough of the in-crowd to get a fair shake on the big screen. It’s taken a long time for women to get even this far. For people of color, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/tumblr-video-series-every-single-word-dylan-marron-reveals-how-rarely-people-of-color-speak-in-popular-films\" target=\"_blank\">we are not even this far\u003c/a>. There is a long way to go. But for the first time in my life, it feels like we’re getting there.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
