Got a Head Full of Ideas...: October 2008
http://gotaheadfullofideas.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Got a Head Full of Ideas. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Newspapers to journalists: It's not you, baby, it's me. For many in the newspaper business, the report this week that the Christian Science Monitor is getting rid of it's print editions, except for a weekend magazine, was a sign that yes, honey, it is over. The writing and reporting in the CSM has always been held up as a shining example for young journalists. But hey, who are we kidding? Even young journalists aren't reading newspapers any more.

Got a Head Full of Ideas...: Thanksgiving Thoughts
http://gotaheadfullofideas.blogspot.com/2008/11/thanksgiving-thoughts.html
Got a Head Full of Ideas. Thursday, November 27, 2008. Here are some random thoughts as I'm coming down from the turkey high:. Is he adorable enough for me to waste an hour every week watching this weak show? I guess they can't all be The Wire. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, mostly because of its simplicity. You get together with people you like, you eat, you drink. You listen to Alice's Restaurant. Why do they have to muck it up by making the whole thing about "Black Friday"?

Got a Head Full of Ideas...: Tweet tweet?
http://gotaheadfullofideas.blogspot.com/2009/01/tweet-tweet.html
Got a Head Full of Ideas. Sunday, January 4, 2009. The Boston Globe Sunday Magazine today had a Q&A with the guy who invented Twitter. Now that's all well and good and interesting and everything else. Just one problem - what the HELL is Twitter? Okay I kind of know what it is. Just a little bit. And I even downloaded, bought and use Microsoft Word. But, I also still read newspapers. Still prefer talking to people face-to-face. Don't text. Don't really use my cell phone at all. Not to totally dumb things ...

http://gotaheadfullofideas.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Got a Head Full of Ideas. Saturday, January 10, 2009. I'm at the "Future of the Media Industry" conference in Baltimore, sponsored by The Newspaper Guild (and a couple other CWA sectors). Lots of interesting stuff here, and a lot of optimism despite all the bad news about our industry. One interesting talk today was a talk by a University of California-Davis professor about how newspapers need to adapt to the change in the weather. And that's what you want. Providing them with just the information they w...

Got a Head Full of Ideas...: July 2008
http://gotaheadfullofideas.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Got a Head Full of Ideas. Saturday, July 26, 2008. The lead story on the local news the other night was about the town of Stratham frantically - yes, they used the word "frantically" - spraying the fairgrounds to get rid of mosquitoes before this weekend's Stratham Fair. Why? Bearing down like a freight train on New Hampshire! For GOD'S SAKE GET INDOORS! By the way, when a human in New Hampshire actually contracts West Nile Virus, we'll let you know. Hmmmrare, unlikely illness versus carnival ride? Gone ...

Got a Head Full of Ideas...: Newspapers kill? If only.
http://gotaheadfullofideas.blogspot.com/2009/01/newspapers-kill-if-only.html
Got a Head Full of Ideas. Tuesday, January 6, 2009. There is nothing in this post about Simon Baker, but I thought I'd including his picture anway. Now down to business. In this morning's newspaper, we were treated to another story about a young person on a cell phone (texting, natch) causing an accident. The kid drove into the back of a Waste Management garbage truck that was making a pickup, nearly pancaking the guy working the truck in the process. As they frantically text their friends about.what?
