New internet scam preys on distant relatives
I’ve been looking into Kickstarter a lot over the last year, if you’re a journo, you might remember Spot.Us, Kickstarter is basically the same thing but with lots more poetry projects and bad videos. There’s so much out there about how amazing it is, but I don’t know… the platform’s been picking up steam for...

Merry Christmas ya’ll! (or, the year I celebrated my third annual Happy Thanksgiving part 2)
Well another year has gone by, and this blog has been way too dead for way too long (again). Since my last post much as changed, I’m now working at the Midland Daily News as part of my first rotation with the Hearst Fellowship. While I’m learning to better my craft and learn a few...

3 is the magic number, and 3 3s is mo magic-er
It’s my 333 post here on SLR! Why does that matter? Wow, way to be a jerk, but if you must know it doesn’t really. But 3 is my lucky number and thus 333 posts is kind of something special for my neurosis. You happy now? Feel like a big man taking all the wind...

Goodbye ABQ, on the road again
Well I stayed longer than I thought I would (but I’m not complaining), but now it’s time to move on. My ABQ chapter is officially in the books. Whenever I go somewhere new, I always end up taking lots of pictures, noticing tons of things and writing a ton… I’ve been stepping aside, pulling over...

Someone’s trying to tell me something…
A friend recently sent to me… I wonder if (the jerk 😛 ) is trying to tell me something?

Peep this yo! Happy Easter.
Normally I’d just throw this in my del.icio.us feed (look in the right column) and call it a day, but I figure it’s Easter… and this pic really makes me laugh. A bounty of mallow rained down on us this Lenten season. The Peeps came not like locusts but like meteors of great ambition and,...

Hello ladies, apparently me have something in common
Today is March 8th and apparently the ladies, or lay-dies as I prefer, and I have something in common. No, it’s not that we both cry at weddings, like Audrey Hepburn movies or secretly wonder if we’d be able to stop ourselves from throwing ourselves at George Clooney and screaming like a school girl in...

I’m right here Roberto!
That guy right there on the right who’s hugging the hell out of me (or looks likes he about to tackle me?), that’s Roberto Rosales, a staff shooter from the ABQ Journal, and apparently he misses me. We’re also flanked by Jim Thompson, center, and Greg Sorber, left, also staff shooters that had been great...

Re: I need a haircut…
Ok… this is just too good not to share… Arriving in my e-mail a few hours after my last post, my good buddy Daniel Esch decided to not be shackled by the distance between us and took it upon himself to share his razor sharp wit and knowledge of all things awesome. A Biz Markie...

I need a haircut…
Ok… I’m giving in, once it starts whipping me in my own eyes, it’s time. That’s me back in August when I first arrived to start in ABQ. And here I am about 2 weeks ago. In between zero trims. So there. Also, some people out there have expressed that I’m not posting enough pics,...

Finally a use for Twitter I understand
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...

Tracking Santa
It’s cold, I’m tired and there’s a few cool things Santa related that I ran across… soooo… It’s light and fluffy time. Wired Magazine has a really funny article in the December issue that breaks down how one man can run such an empire and still do it year after year, the high tech way...
