Notes, photos, bits, awards, blurbs, music, Ms. Pac Man, stuff

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Hey y’all,
Here’s a bunch of stuff that’s awesome and you oughta know:

JJ, whose photo portfolio web site I built, is selling a book of his detailed Chicago photography for 30 bucks. Thirty bucks! That makes a great gift!
My employer, The Denver Post, won an Online News Association award last month for “General Excellence” among medium-sized […]

Election night 2007

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

I’ve spent three of the past four fiirst-Tuesday-in-November-nights working on online election coverage. Each of those have been challenging — 2004 it was just dealing with all the information, 2006 was figuring out the streaming video shtuff, and this year, even though it was an off year, had a last-minute data thrill: We decided to […]

I wrote this for the Post’s Haiku of the Week gig:
Double-u oh arrr,

bugle bleats your name.

Denver’s the cheapest place to live alone, but no longer the best single’s town.

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

So says Forbes. Denver’s ranked on the top of Forbes’ “Best Cities for Singles” list three years in a row, until this one. Forbes says it’s the methodology that caused Denver’s plummet. I wrote more about it on the Denver Post Neighbors blog.

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Hey y’all,
Saturday night my employer, the Post, throws its 7th-annual Underground Music Festival. Well, not Saturday night. Saturday afternoon, evening and night. It’s $10 before the show (tix at www.dpums.com), $12 day-of. I don’t know half the bands playing, and that’s a whole bunch of the fun.

Denver Neighbors sneak preview (what I’ve been working on in day-job-land)

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

So, this afternoon I launched the sneak preview of the ‘big thing’ I’ve been building at work. It’s the Denver “Neighbors” section, and it’s got Denver news, photos, blog posts, and my favorite: the most-popular article list of what Denver readers (that might be you!) are reading.
Check it out at http://neighbors.denverpost.com/denver. Also, if you live […]

Haiku Summer

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

Yes, yes, the summer.
And we rip through its months
Like christmas morning.
My apologies to the non-x-mas celebrating kids out there. So, this haiku-thing picked up waves here with this lady’s Everyday Haiku. I noticed it, and she’s doing it every day, which means other people noticed it too.
Then just five days ago, the Denver Post […]

Order of the Occult Hand

Friday, January 26th, 2007

The hand brushed past my radar in the newsroom in Winston-Salem, it was clever, and then I forgot about it. For some reason it struck my memory tonight.
The Order of the Occult Hand has no president, board, or member roll. It’s existed for more than 40 years. I haven’t joined, and odds are against […]

New Game: Elevator Roulette

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

I made up a new game at work today. There are five elevators, and I started guessing which elevator would be the one to take me up. Or down. You have to guess before the up-button gets pressed, otherwise you could listen for the whirring of the chose elevator moving and that would be cheating. […]
