Another Reason Newspapers Aren’t Doing Well
Ron Paul made them do it! Â At least that’s the implication.
Ross said he is a member of the Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party, and that he supported Ron Paul for president.
That’s what I call reporting!
Let’s find out who O.J. is supporting while we’re at it.
Community Standards
First of all, a few housekeeping items…
Thanks to all of the new readers I’ve picked up in the past couple of days for subscribing. Nothing like a naked chick in a public park to boost readership, huh? And thanks to all of my readers who were with me long before this latest bit [...]
From Bartlett Grove Park–Another Naked Idiot
I’ve commented here before about how stupid you must be to allow someone to film you naked and not keep the one and only copy for yourself. Common sense risk management should tell you that it may end up on the internet. But letting someone photograph or film your privates in a public [...]
Man Up Nine-Year-Olds!
My buddy Greg sent me this article at ESPN about a 9-year-old boy in Connecticut who has been told his 40 mph fast ball makes him “too good” to pitch in his baseball league. Teams have refused to play when he pitches, and his team is being disbanded at players redistributed to other teams.
But Vidro [...]
Great News Story–You Forgot Something
Silence pointed out a story in the Tennessean this morning about political bloggers in Tennessee. Newscoma points out something too.
Not a bad story but it amazes me that they didn’t link the bloggers they were talking about.
Come on ‘Coma…what part of “they don’t get it yet” don’t you understand? Giving credit where it is [...]
Church Shooting Here in Knoxville
I was enjoying a nice peaceful day with the fam and just now heard about this. Not much to say except that I’m stunned. Things like this are so rare here. We were just having a conversation last night about what a great place this is to live and have a family. [...]
Local Web Wars
Jack Lail comments on the Golden Age of Web News:
The community will certainly win through more intense and competition-honed news coverage and some damn good local news Web sites.
For those of us on the outside looking in, this is the most encouraging result of competition. The news organization that can bring us the one fact [...]
Blogging Yourself To Death
An NYT article about the dangers of blogging…
Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived [...]
A Great Place to Work?
As a former employee, I was interested in the article the KNS ran today about Denso Manufacturing Tennessee’s expansion. It was about what I would expect from a local paper writing about a local company expanding–lots of talk about new jobs, complimentary remarks about the people of the region, and a few standard corporate-type comments [...]
Spring Cleaning My Blog
I made a promise a couple of weeks ago that I’d be making some changes here. For better or worse, I set out to do just that last night. I committed to working through Earth Hour at least, and ended up going to bed early this morning.
In lieu of turning out the lights [...]
