    It’s been awhile since I had a last-minute escape before leaving town, but I suddenly remembered this week that it always used to be this way. The Spartan Daily newsroom at the end of the Fall 2005 semester. I remember winters in New York when I trudged out in the snow to turn in term…

    College Media Advisers, an association for advisers to student news organizations, has launched reinventing.collegemedia.org, a site dedicated to asking and answering the sort of questions we’ve been banging around here at SJSU. This is the sort of resource I’ve been looking for — an active public discussion about What To Do With Your J-School. Check…

    It’s been a busy week, and I think it’s time to reorganize my reading-about-the-media habits to make sure I get some thinkers in front of my tired eyes and not just informers.

I’m starting to get the feeling I won’t fully catch up on little things like sleep and rest until I’m on the plane to Miami next Thursday. Nevertheless, I’m on the train on the way to school, and I’m just itching to put some thoughts…

    The incredible shrinking world, whether it’s small or flat or whatever, continues to accelerate the pace at which we communicate. VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) is a big part of that, and one of the biggest players in just-works, on your desktop VOIP software is Skype.
