Caron Myers from Fox8 and photojournalist Chris Weaver came to my home to do a story on the Coliseum and the hockey team (or lack thereof) and a shorter blurb on the WalMart incentives issue. The stories are supposed to air at 5Pm and6PM this evening.
They were followed by WXII12's Bill O'Neill getting my comments on the WalMart incentive story which will also air this evening.
I found it interesting that both reporters wanted shots of my blog and of me working at my computer. My home office is a total wreck right now with my new and old computers set up so I can finish transfering files. I agreed on the condition that they do "tight" shots and not reveal to the world how MESSY my space is right now. I hope they keep their word! [smile]

How bizarre. As I sit and read this, your voice is emanating from a nearby edit bay - where Chris Weaver is no doubt doing you proud. Thanks for playing...
I hope the shots weren't too wide. Thanks for the mention.

The shots were fine - thanks for a great job!
Interesting thoughts. Not only does the mainstream media read your blog and publicize your blog via the airwaves but public policy and opinion is being shaped by what you write on your blog.
There is a link for your blog on the http://www.digitalstakeholders.org website.
Yes, I find it fascinating how news reporting, mainstream media, and blogs are becoming intertwined and are feeding off each other. a new era?
Thanks for the link!
Truthfully, I use the Internet as a primary source of news and information, before listening to a radio program or viewing a television program.
The diversification and quality of information that abounds on the Internet is superior to the quality (or lack thereof) of information that one finds in mainstream media outlets, in my opinion.

I think that the general rule of thumb is that when someone provides a link on their weblog to your weblog, you should reciprocate the pleasantries.
This practice is known as blogosphere netiquette.
Thanks for the lesson in "blogosphere netiquette." I hope I'm not being "rude" but I made the conscious decision NOT to include a blogroll or links on my site except in the context of a specific post.
This being a "political" blog, I do not want to give the appearance of "endorsing" particular blogs or other's views since SOMETIMES other folks take stands on issues that I do not agree with. Doing it my way allows me to do any links on a case-by-case basis.
Thank you for your clarification, Sandy, and I apologize for sharing the link.
No apology needed! I don't mind that you shared the link at all. I just want you to understand why I don't do a blog roll or share links on a regular basis.
