Each year for my birthday, I spend part of the day riding one mile for every year old I am that year. Yesterday was my annual birthday ride, and since I’m getting older (or, maybe just old!) I had to go a ways: forty-seven miles, to be exact, to hit my goal (yes, [...]

Setting the Course for Journalism
August 27th, 2010 · 1 Comment
The front page of the Boulder Daily Camera today proclaimed “CU-Boulder takes steps to close journalism school.” As I pondered the fate of my profession, I, a former newspaper reporter, posted the story to my Twitter feed and my Facebook page. The fact that I chose to share the information online rather than blasting off a letter to the editor should tell me enough about the future of media to not make me upset about the issue.

It is. [...]

If you’ve never read Erika Napoletano’s blog, you’re missing a treat. Erika was kind enough to let me chime in with some social media lessons I figured out while watching The Karate Kid on cable a few days ago.
You can also follow Erika on Twitter (which I recommend) here.
Thanks, Erika!

I picked up my iPad on the first Saturday they went on sale at 9:15 (true to Apple customer service, everything was right on time). If you saw the news at all, you can guess it was crowded—but fun. I saw at least a half dozen friends there.
So, those of you [...]

The New York Times recently covered Coca Cola’s inclusion of social media in their Super Bowl ads. Some said “Huh?”
I disagree. Though it has been slowly emerging recently, this is yet another brilliant way that socmed can and should be used. Reading this article got me thinking about how socmed will [...]

Ringtones Are Annoyances, Not Performances!

OK, they’re not all annoyances. But I liked that headline.
