From the so crazy it can’t be true file, according to a blog over at Wired, Nintendo of America has their birthday present for President Bush ready to go. A D-S for his big 6-0. They’ve even been kind(?) enough to throw in a copy of Brain Age. It’s basically a PR stunt, but isn’t...
Well, it’s been a while. Some new tidbits around the blog… This medium was taking over all my free time. Apparently it’s a creative outlet that I desperately needed. Who knew? But then I ran out of free time. As is common with most college students, we get busy and posting interesting news and our...
Someone recently told me that I need to write more on the blog. I suppose they have a point. I went from averaging 2-3 posts per week to less than a quarter. That has been quite a slump. In that regard, I perused though some of my old columns and came across one published 10/6/05...
On April 13, NPPA at SJSU will feature San Jose State University alumnus and San Jose Mercury News staff photographer Dai Sugano as part of the speaker series. If you’re a photojournalist, an art photographer, or a J-School student interested in multimedia journalism, you should check it out. Recently, Sugano has been adding audio and...
Recently I was interested in placing slideshows on the blog to show off photo stories and other projects (I shyed away from the idea of a photoblog, choosing rather to keep everything in one place). I ran across Lightbox JS, but it required hosting the code somewhere, and I was in no position to do...
No explanation necessary Well maybe just a little. On the left is the before and hench (logic would follow) on the right the after. A while back, I came into the Spartan Daily to find my computer thethered with an anti-theft device… wait for it… to a table leg of a very light table. Yes,...
More Radiohead goodness (last time!). This time, I’ve come across a video for Radiohead’s “Just,” only it’s a cover by another favorite of mine, Phantom Planet. I shouldn’t even have to say anything. Go now! But make sure you come back. *56K warning: It may take a moment to load, be patient. Filed under: funstuff...
I ran across an interesting website today. Rockstar, the publisher of the infamous Grand Theft Auto” series, has announced the winners of Rockstar Games Upload IV. “Now in ’06, we are pleased to present the cream of this year’s edition of our long running digital media competition – the very best creative works, as deemed...
Recently I was given an assignment to examine the techniques employed by interviewers and how they conduct an effective exchange. I decided to listen to “The Journalist Who Wouldn’t Write Straight,” which can be found at NPR online. The interview is with Marc Weingarten, the author of “The Gang That Wouldn’t Write Straight,” a book...
It doesn’t have much to do with photojournalism, but I’m a sucker for this stuff. A DJ to an audience of none, but I rock my headphones from time to time with my own homemade mixes and samples. Fort Minor, by way off a partnership between its label Warner Brothers and Creative Commons, has posted...
The SportsShooter 2005 student photographer of the year was chosen recently. And the best part is, you get to hear the editors — Deanne Fitzmaurice, Kim Komenich, John Lee, Michael Macor, Jim Merithew, and Russell Yip — discuss and critique the portfolios. “For the most part, a portfolio celebrates your ability to see great light…...
Vbloger Steve Garfield recently visted New England Cable News TV for a report he filed on Rocketboom. What’s interesting is the way NECN has partnered up with The Boston Globe and has been able to implement the two mediums and then been able to pull it off. In the Bay Area we’ve seen this trend...
