Switch!

Monday, April 10th, 2006

Switch has now existed for some number that’s in the teens (I think it’s 13 or 14 issues), but a lot of people still haven’t heard of it or seen it. The Journal Star has been publishing it as a wrap, 8 pages around each week’s Ground Zero, distributed for free on Fridays at 50-something […]

I am having a great day

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

I woke up early this morning, about 8, which is way earlier than my usual Wednesday waking time of 10:30. I listened to the Rick Emerson show, a great talk radio show from Portland, Oregon, that is now podcast at rickemerson.com and available on iTunes. My editor is running the show at the paper this […]

WNBA Betting

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

WNBA Betting Women’ s basketball is rising thanks to a handful of celebrities ushering in the next generation of the sport, and all of the top hockey betting sites will certainly offer odds upon each fixture. The parity in typically the WNBA may end up being its calling credit card, as five regarding the league’ […]

That went well, I think

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Well I was just a call-in guest on John Baylor’s show on KFOR in response to this cartoon. I was teased as “throwing a flamethrower bomb” in yesterday’s cartoon with “a blatant attack on the Republican party.” With that kind of an intro, I thought I was in for a tough time on the air. […]

The light

Friday, March 10th, 2006

Stuff is finally coming together, and soon I will be a master of broadcasting. When people ask why I haven’t graduated, I usually say that I just need to finish my thesis. That’s pretty much true, but not entirely. I have several other unfinished projects on the side that need to be wrapped up and […]

Web hosting

Friday, March 3rd, 2006

I’ve been a big cheerleader for Delta Web Hosting, the folks I use for this site and nealo.com, because they are ridiculously inexpensive for what you get. However, I’ve recently been extremely disappointed by their service. I’ve had databases go down and it takes about 8 hours to get a response from their “24/7 support” […]

Cartoonist Spokesmodel

Monday, February 27th, 2006

I was interviewed for this week’s Redweek, the UNL College of Journalism & Mass Communications’ weekly newspaper, on the Danish cartoon controversy. I’ve been interviewed for various reasons in the past (see: 1996 Auburn Yearbook Crisis; 2003’s Puppeteer Geek story) and finally – finally – I felt like I was represented accurately! I’ve been on […]

I reinjured my neck

Friday, February 24th, 2006

I don’t remember if I posted about this before, but several months back I injured my neck while sleeping. I had already been going through the whole “I’m 27, I’m old” thing, and then I went and got injured while lying flat on my back. Oh, and I had just gotten over a back injury […]

It’s just a rumor that’s been spreading ’round town

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

I played it on KRNU the other day, and I haven’t really stopped thinking about it. “Shipbuilding” by Elvis Costello is just one of the greatest songs of all time. I love countdowns, and many “modern rock” stations have best-of-all-time countdowns around the new year, and it always makes me think, “Could KRNU ever do […]
