Citizen Kane: Remembering Columbine
http://kaneinane.blogspot.com/2009/04/remembering-columbine.html
Monday, April 20, 2009. My second volunteer assignment for the Seattle Post Globe. I have to say, it was nice to get out and shoot. I'm wondering if I can use this as a tax write-off. I just browsed the last few months of your blog and I must say, I really miss seeing your photos every day. You have magical way of seeing that many people do not have nor understand. Hope all is well bro. April 23, 2009 at 3:53 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Seattle, Washington, United States. This blog is toast.

Safety Net: June 2009

A Northwest blog about social change, journalism and community. Thursday, June 25, 2009. Getting Naturalized: Nothing Like the Movies. What did I expect at my naturalization ceremony a couple weeks ago? Some sort of solemn ritual recognizing the significance of turning in our green cards for Old Glory. After all, patriotism is a big part of the American psyche. It could be that I've seen too many news stories about those Fourth of July naturalization. I looked down my row at other citizens-to-be, from yo...

Safety Net: When does Hyperlocal News = Hyper-Nosy?
http://safetynetseattle.blogspot.com/2010/02/when-does-hyper-local-news-hyper-nosy.html
A Northwest blog about social change, journalism and community. Sunday, February 21, 2010. When does Hyperlocal News = Hyper-Nosy? I'm a fan of my neighborhood news blog. It tells me when new restaurants open, tracks coyote sightings and reports what caused the latest traffic jam on the bridge. If you live in the 'hood, that stuff matters. The down side of hyperlocal news is that having a public platform can turn some folks into proverbial neighborhood busybodies of the worst sort. Stories also had to me...

Safety Net: One Year Ago: Shutting Down the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
http://safetynetseattle.blogspot.com/2010/03/one-year-ago-shutting-down-seattle-post_16.html
A Northwest blog about social change, journalism and community. Tuesday, March 16, 2010. One Year Ago: Shutting Down the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. My phone rang as I walked into the empty newsroom before 9 am on March 16, 2009. It was a New York Times reporter fishing for confirmation - about something he wouldn't reveal. That is never good news. 160;Reporters from other news outlets gathered in our lobby, clamoring for comment. A TV reporter couldn't resist asking, "Are you scared? Damn right I was sc...

Safety Net: December 2009
http://safetynetseattle.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A Northwest blog about social change, journalism and community. Friday, December 18, 2009. Don't be Scrooges: Renew the COBRA subsidy. Before I lost my job as a journalist, I specialized in writing about social policy. I would have spent this year writing about the Great Recession of 2009 if the Seattle Post-Intelligencer hadn't closed in March. Instead, I experienced the economic meltdown firsthand. Now it's about to run out. Meanwhile, Congress is debating whether to extend it. What is there to debate?

A Northwest blog about social change, journalism and community. Saturday, August 8, 2009. Bad Boys of Ballard. Every neighborhood has its bad boys. The ones who crank up their music until the wee hours or toss trash on your lawn as they cruise by. And then there's the really wild stuff. Take a look," he said, pointing to his green, asphalt-tiled roof. "Over there by the chimney, and over there. A bunch of tiles are missing.". That's odd," I said. "It hasn't even been windy lately.". Bad Boys of Ballard.
