long time, no post I know, but...within this story about the possible planned merger of New Times and Village Voice Media (VVM) comes this little nugget...As of late May there were clearly still some issues to be resolved: The documents include a memo from VVM CEO David Schneiderman complaining that New Times wants to "renegotiate the terms of our deal" and arguing that some New Times papers,

Weather Channel's Greatest Hits I'm not sure which is weirder -- that I like some of the music on the Weather Channel's "local on the 8's" or that they have a playlist with all the tracks for the month.

Local News Two entries today on the failings of local news both hit the nail squarely upon the head... The first piece is an open letter to a local station from someone in the "18-34 year-old female demographic." NSFW if repetative swearing makes you laugh out loud and attracts the boss. The second is a top ten pet peeves list from the St. Louis Dispatch. I suppose these could apply to any

The crack of the bat... What the hell is going on at SportsCenter these days? They've taken to muting the background sound of the announcers during baseball highlights and adding sound effects.

St. John's Wort Liz rented "St. John's Wort" (a.k.a. Otogiriso) this week and after all the storms yesterday, we finally had a chance to watch it... similar to "Ringu" (The Ring), it shared stylistic DNA (TV's tuned to dead channels, color manipulation) and a sense of forboding mixed with a "twist" ending (that could be seen coming from a mile away). I liked it, Liz... not so much.
