    I’ve updated the “work” page on this blog, repairing some damage I did during an ill-advised Twenty Ten theme update that I never repaired after a move to Basic Maths.

    Although it’s quickly getting pushed out of the news cycle by the Super Bowl and its commercial trappings, plus a big digital media acquisition immediately in the wake of the weekend, the story in Egypt has captured my attention for the last two weeks or so. Why? It’s not really the politics. At this point,…

    With all the blogging I’ve been doing so far this month, a few of you have given me strange looks or short notes to the effect of “Hey, didn’t know you were still writing on that thing, ha ha.” Right. Well. Don’t get too excited. Just before I completely corrupted the data by importing more…

    Believe it or not, I’ve redesigned this blog, yet again. Well, sort of. Ahem, more accurate: Believe it or not, I purchased the Basic Maths WordPress theme by Khoi Vinh and Allan Cole. So here’s the deal. I’m tired of redesigning this blog. For more than five years, yes, it’s been my primary — albeit…

    In 2008, I was awarded a Knight News Challenge grant to build ReportingOn, a backchannel for beat reporters to share ideas, information, and sources. The goal of the project was to provide journalists of all stripes with a place to talk about content, not craft, or process, or skillset. I taught myself enough Django —…

    Yes, this is going to be one of the posts where the person writing says something along the lines of: “Gee, I don’t really blog much anymore. You should follow me on Twitter.” Sorry about that in advance. At the beginning of this year, I resolved to “write more, but not here,” where “here” equalled…

    For reasons that will be more obvious to some of you than others, I’ve been interested for some time now in a good tool for embedding tweets into, say, news stories. Or blog posts. Anywhere it might come in handy to use tweets to tell a story. I’ve been trying out curated.by a little bit,…
