The Undeath of Newspapers One of my favorite webcomics is Cowbirds In Love, and while this isn’t Sanjay’s best (that would be this one), it’s pretty funny to a journalist like me.

Inspired Bicycles Danny MacAskill is like Jackie Chan on a bike — except he probably won’t get rich and famous off his skills and then start whining about how poor people in his country need to be controlled. (photo below via InspiredBicycles.com)

Steve Breen wins second Pulitzer I was at the Asbury Park Press when he won his first one — I worked a 13-hour day gathering up his winning cartoons, scanning them and building a website to hold them. Large, colorized versions are still in the cafeteria at the Press (or at least, they were still [...]

Newspaper competition in cities (or the lack thereof) Wow, just wow. And keep in mind that the big cities were smaller in 1909, and that there were fewer big cities (and fewer medium-sized ones as well). That’s a truly sad statistic. (via Gannett Blog)

Your business card is crap

Your business card is crap So that’s what I’ve been doing wrong all these months of unemployment! Apparently the problem is that my business card isn’t die-cut, embossed and Rolodex-incompatible with a pop-up in the middle. Who knew? (Seriously, I think I may have been premature in accepting the Ferrari-in-the-handicapped-spot guy as King of All [...]
Awesome retro movie intro

Movies That Don’t Suck Man, this brings back memories. Cable is great, but this retro-style intro from the G4 channel takes me back to the days when TV’s full range of options consisted of the networks, a couple UHF channels and a PBS station, and when one of the major three TV networks showed a [...]
