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 […]
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. […]
Tonight I launched Joe Think, my blog about how local journalism can use the internet to be awesome and relevant. It’s something I meant to do a while ago, but ya’ know, stuff comes up. Stuff is still coming up, sure. But I needed a better home for my work-related rants and thoughts and ideas […]
Turns out the newsroom isn’t the most exciting place to be at. I spent some time setting up the webcam to broadcast the state Democrat’s election-night party, and that place, combined with the hotel-room parties I only heard about, well, that was the place to be.
My recommendation for the future: Figure out which party […]
This will be my third year in a row in a newsroom on election night. It’s a fun and intense way to spend the evening. This year I’m putting together the Denver Post webcam coverage, with the help of co-worker and tech guy Doug Conarroe. There will probably be links to the webcams starting around […]
I’ve got a new zip code (80204), a new extension at my office number (1057), and a new skyline.
In the past 16 days I travelled 6880 miles (more than half done in my hardy Honda Civic hatchback). This incuded a wedding, a visit with my dad’s side of the family (four separate visits), two stops […]
In three weeks I start a new job doing development for the Denver Post’s online news team. I’m excited. It’s my first programming gig, which means 1. I get to spend most of my time doing the stuff that interests me about online news, and 2. I have ascended to a new level of computer […]
So, here are the things going on in my world … today somebody told me about newspaper man Dean Singleton, who has a controversial history in the industry, there’s what seems to be a good article about him at CJR.
I got 13 rolls of photos back from the photo lab today, there’s one roll […]
This was a plugin Adam Howell showed me, it’s useful for group blogs. However, it only worked with WordPress 1.5. Tonight at work I hacked the PHP and got it working on WordPress 2.0.3, you can see the new code here, or below:
function notify_users($post_ID) {
global $wpdb;
$users = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users, $wpdb->usermeta WHERE $wpdb->usermeta.user_id […]
