PJ loses a friend

by sdulai on Feb 21, 2008 • No Comments

I’ve talked about it before, joked about it and held out hope from the inevitable… but today it has come. This morning the staff of the Albuquerque Tribune heard the news, Saturday would be their last day and after 86-years the doors will closed one last time. It wasn’t the paper of my internship, but...

Stop the presses! It’s time to vent!

by sdulai on Feb 18, 2008 • No Comments

Today I ran across the greatest Web site in the world and just had to share (and also because I know it’ll get lost in my delicious and I wanna make sure I check it out later). Of course I haven’t really vented yet, for one I’m unemployed now so there isn’t any job to...

Last day

by sdulai on Feb 15, 2008 • No Comments

Today was the last day, and for my last assignment I had the pleasure of photographing these two critters at the metro pound. I always thought Pets of the Week was a weird assignment. It felt like every week that I’d do it I was having to decide which animals lived and which died. Walking...

And this is the end, the end my friend

by sdulai on Feb 13, 2008 • No Comments

Well… it’s nearing the end of my time with the Albuquerque Journal. It’s been a long, winding, educating, eye-opening trip. Thursday is my last day, with Friday a check-out day. As of now my last assignment here is pets of the week for the metro section. Seems kinda fitting and poetic. So what can I...

A new way to waste time on YouTube

by sdulai on Feb 9, 2008 • No Comments

Ooo… pretty… You see that little red thing in the corner that looks like Brainiac’s logo thing? Well it shows up when you go into full screen mode. Once you click it you get this nifty new way of browsing. Nothing monumental, but YouTube is the most popular web video service and it’s worth mentioning...

Finally a use for Twitter I understand

by sdulai on Feb 8, 2008 • No Comments

Scrolling by Google Maps the other day, continuing with my OCD fueled need to always check the maps before heading out for an assignment, I noticed a little button for Super Tuesday elections. I thought about writing something about how Twitter and Google teamed up to produce this real-time update of election proceedings with Twitter...

Quick hits: Medals of Memory

by sdulai on Feb 2, 2008 • No Comments

A slick interface, a heartfelt story and few moments of laughter fuse to create Medals of Memory, a look at the military tattoo and the men and women who emblaze their flesh with the ink. The Naples Daily News package features Army Specialist Jolene Wieber’s path to having a cross tattooed on her right leg...

Quick hits: Including Samuel

by sdulai on Feb 2, 2008 • No Comments

Rumor has it Dan Habib of the Concord Monitor may be considering a second career as a filmmaker (but it’s just a rumor so I won’t dwell on it to much at this point) and after checking out some of his work on his latest documentary, that might not be a bad idea. Including Samuel...

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
