Greetings Mediation Readers. As Taylor mentioned, he’s going out of town for about a week and has foolishly entrusted his precious blog to Yours Truly. Being a long-time reader, first-time blogger, I’ve got a lot to learn, so bear with me. I was discussing my concerns of blogger inadequacy with a friend of mine and he gave me the following advice: “Write about things you...

Hey. I’m going out of town. But I’m not leaving you hanging. I wouldn’t do that. So I brought the Claw back from space just so she can run this shit while I’m gone. If you have any issues while I’m out, or have any links to post, let her know, and I’ll be back in a little bit.

following up on my comment on Brauer's post

A few people have continued the discussion on Brauer’s post about relevancy, and here’s a few additional points. Here’s my response to the reaction from The Greatest Things: One of the things that I was also trying to get across was that newspapers used to be the starting point in the information chain.

Why newspapers actually don't matter

David Brauer’s reporting on the local media scene is awesome, but one of his pieces from earlier today needs a little more specification. In “Why newspapers matter”, Brauer justifies his volume of coverage on the demise of the Star Tribune by saying the “explanation that satisfies most is that papers have the biggest newsrooms and usually set the local news...

bowled over

Nipping at the heels of the STrib’s local television news story on selecting a first dog, ‘CCO has been running a slideshow of the ‘pawticipants’ for Animal Planet’s “Puppy Bowl V Superbowl Halftime Distraction”. News! Also, I’m sorry to inform those of you folks who prefer bunnies to puppies, but best local blog Randball told me on the internet...

Nation-wide switch to digital TV postponed. →

southtwelfth: mediation breaks the news and predicts: I’m guessing this affects 0% of you. Guess again, Taylor! My apartment is full of old-person electronic items that barely function, my TV principal among them. It has rabbit ears and has never known the corrupting touch of cable. I don’t even know where the cable would go — is it put in with tweezers? Is it an actual “cable”? I fully...

I’m guessing this affects 0% of you. But it’s also interesting to note that everyone I know who’s worked with state or federal governments laughed at the idea of the deadline not moving.
