DISQUS

Glad it's going well Megan. Don't let any of that santeria altar karma rub off on you...

Well, in many cases, many of those jobs are rolled into one. Throw in marketer and complaint department too. :)

That was a helluva hosing we all got on Thursday...

Let's do it again!

"It’s a good thing he’s not there right now, because he’d be out of luck."

LMAO!

I would like to meet Tim O'Reilly and Mark Zuckerberg -- both guys who founded what can be thought of as revolutionary publishing empires. I'm a producer/journalist at a newspaper site in Orlando. Declining revenues at news operations in the United States means serious trouble for journalism, and I'm desperately seeking ideas and inspiration to bring a renaissance in reporting that benefits the public. If meeting these guys could create an idea that sparks possibility for the future, it'd all be worthwhile. I would also love the chance to bring my journalist's point of view to the conference and perhaps spark ideas in others.

Hey Matt, that's awesome that you got the thumbs up from Arrington. Keep up the great work!

Hey Shawn, I'm a big fan of Picnik. It's quick, intuitive and does the job. Plus, they just opened up a bunch of the advanced features for free.

I don' t know that I'd so quickly rush to Pazienza's defense. While I do believe journalists should be allowed to blog responsibly, Pazienza seemed to drift into politics (“I wake up every morning baffled as to why America hasn’t thrown George Bush and Dick Cheney in prison...") and other matters that could damage the objectivity --such as it is-- of CNN, whether or not he officially identified himself as working for CNN. And, if his work was being picked up by other large news/opinion sites, then I can see how that too might irk the brass over there.

That said, perhaps a firing wasn't in order. If he was such a popular blogger, perhaps they might've found a way to capitalize on that and reap the benefits for CNN.com.

In your case Matthew, your blog pretty much sticks to technology issues, and I believe it enhances your stature as a tecnology writer, which in turn benefits the Globe and Mail. Your blog and Pazienza's appear to be on very different ground.

Duuuuuuude, that was hilaaaarrrrriouuus!

Absolute favorite part: The beer

That's cold, man....

I feel your pain Tim. Had a CPU motherboard die on me during finals week in college once. Not cool.

I love it! The driving scene was very cool. Cute dog, too. My parents have a hot dog also.
