» “Nashville is Talking” to close
Feb 09, 2010 1:37 PM from Terry Heaton\'s PoMo Blog
So my old friend Nashville is Talking is closing down. You can read about it here , here , and here . This is a tough one for me personally. That site is a part of my life, an innovation in local media that accomplished much in teaching us about aggregating and curating a local blogosphere. However..

I\'m writing this from the Admiral\'s Club at LaGuardia, as I await my transportation back to DFW. A lot of people hate LaGuardia, but I love it. It\'s nasty, old and doesn\'t have the amenities of newer airports, but this place has character like few other airports. It\'s crowded and everything is R..

For those of you who might have missed it, last week PBS\' Frontline aired a really interesting look at how the wired world is affecting us. I was skeptical — shows like this are usually full of platitudes or stuff that\'s so obvious there\'s no point in talking about it — but this one was ..

We didn\'t get a chance to talk to most of the bigger stars from the cast of Gary Marshall\'s new movie. That didn\'t bother me. What was kind of frustrating was the way they all kind of just stood around during the red carpet arrivals. Hey, weren\'t they supposed to be promoting the movie by doing inte..

Ok, I just got home after directing the 11pm news. Catch Topper\'s 11pm forecast. There are some key things to listen for. A) Dangerous Coastal Storm B) Blizzard Conditions Likely C) We\'re going to get a ton of snow D) The real danger will be the wind gusting from 30 to 40mph. This ..

There\'s a lesson in everything. Today some of the seniors at my high school decided to “prank” the campus. Roll out the TP and chickens – whoa! Chickens? Yeah. Chickens. It\'s that humdrum time of year before spring break but after the glory of winter break….kind of dull days..

Our nation\'s leaders may be up to their rhetoric in freshly fallen snow - but here in the Piedmont, we\'re moving on. You know what that means: Pothole Watch. Seems those jagged gaps in the blacktop are of towering import these days, what with the Superbowl over. Actually the smotherage of said pave..

Ok, I guess last weekend\'s storm was a \"superstorm.\" I suppose it could have been worse, but it was bad enough. Dulles Airport received about 32 inches of snow. Near my house, we received a bit more than that. Last week, I predicted the Super Bowl would have great ratings. I..

Feb 07, 2010 7:07 PM from VideoJournalism
They resort to words – the written language. VJ Kathleen Newell has an eye for the awesome and dreams that she, as most of us have, has only thought about… Until this week. I was surprised when I got an email from her explaining she was fulfilling one of her dreams – to see a nigh..

Helloooo? Where is everybody? I just wanted to take a few shots of buildings and streets after the rain, but I have to admit I expected the rain to have stopped by the time I got off work on Friday night. It was still pouring off and on after I got back to the station. My attitude? Everybody who isn..

You can ask me, but I don\'t really know what we were doing in the rain on Friday night. Reporter Rita Garcia and I were sent out to find a weather related story to tell. Basically, go talk to people in the rain. Sure. I can do that. Heck, there are probably worse ways to make a liv..

Feb 06, 2010 9:41 PM from The Director\'s Chair
Ok, we have one more hour to go for tonight. There have been all kinds of stories coming out of this storm, and I\'m sure more to come. One story that caught my attention involved an odd form of \"snow surfing.\" There were reports of people wearing snow skies tied to the back of a vehicle..
