Recently the Seattle Post Intelligencer had to close it's doors. This was just the next in an ever growing list of print newspapers that have had to compete with similar 'free' services on the Internet.

The Associated Press has been fighting the dissemination of news via these free sources and it's going to lose. The cat is already out of the bag, the horse has already left the barn; pick any metaphor you want because it's too late to turn back the clock now and restrict the Internet.

Saul Hansell wrote a nice piece for the New York Times stating that the AP's real enemies are its customers. I agree.

I had to get Cameron to show me how to use Windows Movie Maker in order to create this…

I'm riding up the Denny Creek road on day one of the 2009 Courage Classic. Trying to film while riding is fun. The second bit is me rolling into the finish at Suncadia.

The other day at work while in a meeting a co-worker called me the Anthony Bourdain of the iSchool. :| They said I was outspoken, hip and sarcastic.

Of course I'm not as skilled, have much less professional experience, am not as well travelled and for sure I'm not as hip but hey, I'll take it.

I think it was the tall, skinny thing to be honest  but who am I to hold someone back when they are paying me a compliment…
