Xeni Jardin

Xeni Jardin (/ˈʃɛni ʒɑːrˈdæn/ SHEN-ee zhar-DAN; born August 5, 1970) is an American weblogger, digital media commentator, and tech culture journalist. She is known for her position as co-editor of the collaborative weblog Boing Boing, as a contributor to Wired magazine and Wired News, and as a correspondent for the National Public Radio show Day to Day. She has also worked as a guest technology news commentator for television networks such as PBS NewsHour, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and ABC.

Life and work

Jardin was born in Richmond, Virginia, on August 5, 1970. Her father, artist Glenn B. Hamm Jr., died in August 1980 of ALS. She left home at age 14, but remained in school in Richmond. Her brother, Carl M. Hamm, retained their family name, and is a Richmond, Virginia-based disc jockey, who performs under the stage name "DJ Carlito".

Jardin prefers the name "Xeni Jardin" over her given name. "Xeni" is short for "Xeniflores," a word with origins in Guatemala's native culture, meaning "protector of flowers," while "jardin" is the Spanish and French word for "garden" (with the French pronunciation used).

Boing Boing

Boing Boing is a website, first established as a zine in 1988, later becoming a group blog. Common themes include technology, futurism, science fiction, gadgets, intellectual property, Disney and communism, and it twice won the Bloggies for Weblog of the Year, in 2004 and 2005. The editors are Mark Frauenfelder, Cory Doctorow, David Pescovitz, Xeni Jardin, and Rob Beschizza.

History

Boing Boing (originally bOING bOING) started as a zine in 1988 by Frauenfelder and Carla Sinclair, his wife. Issues were subtitled "The World's Greatest Neurozine". Associate editors included Gareth Branwyn, Jon Lebkowsky, and Paco Nathan. Along with Mondo 2000, Boing Boing was an influence in the development of the cyberpunk subculture. It reached a maximum circulation of 17,500 copies. The last issue of the zine was #15.

Boing Boing became a Web site in 1995 and one year later was a web-only publication. While researching for an article about blogs in 1999, Frauenfelder became acquainted with the Blogger software, which led to the relaunch of Boing Boing as a weblog on 21 January 2000, described as a "directory of wonderful things." Over time, Frauenfelder was joined by four co-editors—Doctorow, Pescovitz, Jardin and Beschizza—who previously contributed to Wired magazine. Maggie Koerth-Baker, after a run as a guest blogger in 2009, joined the site as its Science Editor.

Jardín is a town in Antioquia, Colombia. It has a population of about 17,000 people.

Description

Jardin is a town located in southwestern Antioquia. It has abundant flora and fauna, specially birds. It is 134 kilometers away from the capital city Medellin. The first inhabitants were indigenous people called the Chamies. Presently, there is an indigenous settlement six kilometres from Jardin. The founders were Don Indalecio Pelaez and Priest Jose Maria Gomez Angel. Jardin is well-known because of its festivities every two years. They are the Rose Festivities which are filled with many cultural events.

The Inmaculada Concepcion Church is a Basilica. The central and left roofs were repaired recently. There are long and pious ceremonies in this religious place specially during the Easter.

MSNBC

MSNBC is an American basic cable and satellite television network that provides news coverage and political commentary from NBC News on current events. The network also carries a prime-time 'opinion page' programming bloc with a mostly progressive slant. It is owned by the NBCUniversal News Group, a unit of the NBCUniversal Television Group division of NBCUniversal.

MSNBC and msnbc.com were founded in 1996 as separate partnerships between Microsoft and General Electric's NBC unit, hence the network's naming. Although they shared the same name, msnbc.com and MSNBC maintained separate corporate structures and news operations, with msnbc.com headquartered on the West Coast on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington, and MSNBC in the NBC headquarters in New York. Microsoft divested its stake in the MSNBC channel in 2005, and divested its stake in msnbc.com in July 2012, rebranding the general news site as NBCNews.com and creating a new msnbc.com as the online home of the cable news channel. As of February 2015, approximately 94,531,000 households (81.2% of those with television) receive MSNBC within the United States of America.
