Some personal news
Saturday | December 3, 2005 | 7:13 pm
So, after nearly 4 1/2 years, Erica and I are breaking off our engagement.
By getting married!
We started the planning nearly two months ago at the beginning of October and we’ve been meaning to blog about it — but I didn’t want to announce anything until it was final — eloping was always an option :-)
Cutting to the chase, I’ll try and keep the wedding stuff out of this blog and keep in “Somehting Blogged” (RSS) — our new joint blog with a design courtesy of my fiancee.

It’s not as if the midwest contains America’s liver and large intestine…

Paper paid to print only good news
Tuesday | October 25, 2005 | 8:41 am
Did I miss a day of journalism school?
Because I don’t remember when Don Ranly said it was OK to be paid by a city’s council to print only good news.
If I were the Star-Ledger, the local daily, I’d start up a marketing campaign pronto. I don’t think it’s worth attacking this joke of a weekly, but a campaign along the lines of “Good news. Bad news. And everything in between.” might be just what the doctor ordered.
It’s bad enough that we’ve got propaganda at the national level, but to see this blatant pay-off at the local level is disturbing.
If the Newark Weekly News is publicly admitting to taking money for publishing good news, then how many other papers are doing the same thing, only we haven’t heard about it.
Local bloggers, start your engines!
