Reader Guide: The NBA lockout is over, but its economic impact still ripple

by sdulai on Nov 29, 2011 • No Comments

The National Basketball Association lockout is over, and what may seem like a run of the mill sports story of high stakes brinkmanship is actually akin to a natural disaster sending economic impacts throughout local economies across the US. At its heart the NBA lockout was an exercise of kabuki theater between employees demanding a...

The University of New Mexico Lobo’s charged the field in their home opener against the New Mexico Aggies and we decided to give it the old Joe Wise college try. Click the image to check it out. Fellow ABQ intern Morgan Petroski suggested it after realizing it’s most likely the biggest game of the season...

I think I might like baseball… gulp!

by sdulai on May 5, 2007 • No Comments

The last couple of days I’ve been shooting a lot of high school baseball and softball games and I’m afraid I may like baseball now. I always said I didn’t like baseball because it was boring and slow and I hated sitting still and watching grown men spit and scratch and stretch and stand for...

Well, maybe next time…

Thanks for nothing… cold night, hair brained organization (fun crowd however), and no tickets. 13 years! I guess when we’ve got the longest running NBA playoffs drought, no one really knows how to act in the post season. *tear Plan B: 2 p.m. on Ticketmaster, no go. Tickets sold out… that morning… nothing left… online...

Ode to the Canon D2000, I still kind of hate you… old friend

by sdulai on Feb 5, 2006 • No Comments

The other night Daniel Sato reminded me of Dr. Dennis Dunleavy’s March 2005 post about my experience in Reno, NV for the 2005 NCAA WAC basketball tournament. Dennis wrote: “Tonight, while helping out on the Spartan Daily, we were waiting for Shaminder to email some images he made at a basketball tournament in Reno. When...

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 […]
