Hey, I’m on TV!

View Category I joined the other technology fans on Thursday, June 24, to upgrade my iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4.  I didn’t go over board; I could’ve lined up at six (having reserved a phone the week before), but I didn’t show up till around nine AM.  I stayed in line for four hours, getting my new phone right around one PM.  As I got close to the store entrance, Fox 2, WJBK, showed up to shoot some video, and I ended up in the background of a couple shots.  You can recognize me, on the extreme left, by my malformed Benjamin Franklin physique.

They’ll let anyone on TV nowadays

Photo I.D.

View Category My coworker Matt asks if the woman pictured on the left, photographed for the Detroit Free Press at a Ciao Bella fashion show in July, is the same woman on the right, who, in December, is also in the Detroit Free Press for the hit and run killing of a bicyclist in Royal Oak.

 
The same?

Quick, Get Me Video of Walter Reed! No, the Other Walter Reed!

View Category I too kept wondering why the RNCC kept showing that mansion facade behind McCain last night.  (And after ten minutes I was wondering if they could show other channels to watch.)  Turns out there was a reason ... just not a very good reason.  Apparently they meant to show video of Walter Reed military hospital but ended up with video of Walter Reed Middle School.  You have to read this to believe it.
    I wonder if this kind of half-assed web search explains their VP pick.

Newsmaker

View Category Shit, they plagiarized my short story!  A Macedonian man kills three women so he can report the murders for his newspaper.

    • ABC News (US)
    • Guardian (UK)

    (My story on other hand involved an anchorman and TV station.)
