      • Newspapers may be dying, but Mariotti's not helping anyone
        08/28/08
        Jay Mariotti is a genius! I don't know how he did it, but he realized something no one else has figured out yet. News, and especially sports news, he said is moving to the INTERNET! Wow, why didn't I realize that?

      • A missed interaction
        08/27/08
        For his birthday my son got the peanut butter and jelly game from a friend.

        I haven't been great at keeping my resolution, which I should have expected. I'm easily distracted. As I'm creating the syllabus for my class this fall (J4700: Online Journalism), I'm inspired again because I'm requiring my students to start a blog, and it gave me an interes

      • Making the Web work for your business
        08/03/08

        I used to have this grand plan that I would feature a useless corporate Web site each week on my site. The first example was going to be Doritos.com, simply because it was nothing but a reproduction of the company's TV ads. Well, Doritos has improved the site a bit. Now it features a few
