This morning, we learned at work that the Managing Editor of our newspaper, US MAYOR, and our intern coordinator, Guy Smith had passed away. It’s been a tough day as I’ve reflected on my 2 1/2 years of knowing him. He’s been a great mentor to me personally and he’s given tons of students an [...]
My time is up in San Francisco and like most trips, it has been a good one. I’m about to fly my 3rd Red Eye ever and I have a real mixed feeling about these things. My first Red Eye was San Diego to New York on JetBlue, which was a terrible flight (not because [...]
It’s hard to believe but my time is almost up on the left coast. I arrived in San Francisco on December 16 and after a trip to Matt’s Cabin in Shaver Lake, a couple trips to Fresno, a weekend in Los Angeles, a broken toe, and countless holiday memories, it’s almost time for me to [...]
Christmas was great this year. Best of all, Wall-E:
It’s Christmas time and now that Christmas Eve is here and real reporters are taking the holidays off, joke articles that were too unfunny for The Onion get their chance in the real world as serious pieces of journalism. This morning, I came across CNN.com and their article, “Poll: Illinois governor named naughtiest politician of [...]
A day late with this week’s twdb3. Sorry. Yesterday evening, we did a birthday dinner for my mom at Los Angeles’ oldest restaurant, the Tam O’Shanter Inn.

Despite how immobile I actually am, I have found my way to Los Angeles through tomorrow morning. We’re in town for my mom’s birthday (happy birthday, mom) so I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to go out on my own. We’ll see.
First of all, thanks to everyone who has made fun of me for my broken toe or for your sympathy during my time of pain. It means a lot. Many have been asking question as to how this happened or why I was so stupid in allowing it to happen. Let me explain. So, I [...]
Hey folks. With some downtime for the holidays, I’ve been working on a couple blog improvements. First of all (and maybe most importantly), RSS feeds work again. RSS feeds stopped working when I switched from NucleusCMS to WordPress, but, we’re back in action with everything now. If you don’t use RSS feeds, now would be [...]
Last night Matt Middleton and I came up to his family’s cabin in Shaver Lake. With lots of snowfall outside, we shoveled our way in, made a fire, and set up shop with the supplies we picked up at Save Mart shortly before arriving. It has been a lot of fun thus far. Explored outside [...]
