Embracing My Inner Geek: February 2010
http://embracingmygeek.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Friday, February 12, 2010. This is the first time I've returned to this blog since August of last year. I'm not sure why I stopped. I have some ideas. A new job. A new job with really difficult hours. A wedding proposal. A wedding that needs planned. Projects around the house. Other social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter taking up too much time. I think something else has kept me away as well.

I'm going to try and state my case in a way that doesn't make me sound like a complete jerk. But, I might fail. Why did this happen? It also caused a new c...

Embracing My Inner Geek: Wither Ethics?
http://embracingmygeek.blogspot.com/2009/07/wither-ethics.html
Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. I have to say that the past couple of weeks have great fodder if I were teaching a journalism class (Mr. Strukel. And it really makes me question where journalism is going. The first big moment, for me, was during the Michael Jackson death coverage. Com apparently became the "go-to" source for much of the breaking developments. There's one small problem, though. You see, TMZ.

Embracing My Inner Geek: May 2009

Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. To both ABC and NBC for saving the two shows I wrote about below. In an interesting twist, the Peacock Network said the outpouring of fan support is what saved "Chuck" (along with cash from Subway in return for what figures to be heavy product placement.). Oddly enough, a pair of canceled shows "My Name is Earl" and "Medium" were apparently axed because fans didn't do enough.

Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. How "Not" To Sell Papers. So, in these days of declining subscriptions and revenue, newspapers are doing all they can to get readers. Which makes this sales call from the Cleveland Plain Dealer (to yours truly) almost inexplicable. Let me recreate as best I can:. Hi, I'm calling from the Plain Dealer. (laughs). Before you hang up . No, I'm really not interested. Phil Collins ...

Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Wednesday, December 24, 2008. Sending Holiday wishes today out to both my regular readers . :). I've been reflecting on Christmas' past the last few days, and realized I don't have real specific memories of any one holiday over any other. Probably a result of being dropped on my head as a kid too often. As I tried to come up with one of my favorite memories, this is the one I found. As a kid, you're mor...
