New site up, time for rest of my life →
Wow. How time flies. Just added up how many hours I’ve worked this week - 35 and it’s only Wednesday. But a version of a new web page launched for the newspaper after a mere five months. Now, others can tweak the concept. I know the next newspapers who will need to adapt to it will improve it. I still hope to bring some features that were planned back. (What was that joke about the...

Falling snow collapses the whim to shop for anything but necessities.
Still working on playing. iPhone so tempting
Off to play and get my hands dirty in fabric, clay or beads while ignoring pull of blogging, social media, web pages, twitter, and facebook,

Forget caller ID, tell me nature of call →
My Twitter struck a ‘me, too’ nerve today. Seems I am not the only one interested in the nature of the call more then who is calling. Now since Twitter limits your space, I merely explained that a color siginal about the news to be conveyed would help. Blue flashing would be a warning, red for danger and green for a ‘good’ call. I was reacting to my brother’s call....
instead of caller ID, I want Call ID. Flash blue for bad, red for urgent, green when call will bring only good news to me. No surprises!

Goal: Journalist, citizen, human →
The Journalist and the Buddha blogger asks why journalism can’t talk about its own morality in a recent post. Although the writer shares guides that lead him through a discussion on objectivity, depression in the newsrooms and more, I found my a-ha moment here:“My New Year’s resolution is to work as a journalist, to act as a citizen, and to live as a human without a blindfold.”
