… and immediately wonders what the heck to do with it. Mindy McAdams was offering, and, as I said there, I’m a complete sucker for anything with even a whiff, no matter how suspect, of scarcity or exclusivity about it. There was a time a few years ago, in fact, when I was prepared to [...]

UPDATE, September 2007: Sorry, but this job opening has been filled.
We have an opening for a radio reporter/producer down here in South Florida. This is an existing position that just opened up, and obtaining it would earn you the privilege of sitting in our little multimedia village, right next to the bearded one himself. The [...]

Loook ouuut, he is a spider pig. Simpsons movie: Brilliant.

can he swing, from a web?
no he can’t, he’s a pig

For one thing, Derek Willis has been using a beautiful white version of Hemingway for some time now, and Will Sullivan’s very cool recent relaunch of Journerdism [...]

Just your routine story of a 13-year-old getting suspended for nine weeks because he allegedly mooned his classmates at the end of the previous school year. But this lede distinguishes the story: “A 13-year-old Palm City boy will miss out on the first nine weeks of [...]

I can’t stop watching some of these videos from Winding Road on YouTube. Not only do they feature stupidly fast cars, they also make liberal use of Futura, which, as you might not be aware, and I frankly can’t thing of any very good reason why you would, apart from, perhaps, the rather remote possibility [...]

It seems like there is an uncommonly high number of computer-assisted job openings at newspapers these days. (And by “uncommonly high” I mean “more than one.” It is a relatively small field, after all.)
