The University of New Mexico Lobo’s charged the field in their home opener against the New Mexico Aggies and we decided to give it the old Joe Wise college try. Click the image to check it out. Fellow ABQ intern Morgan Petroski suggested it after realizing it’s most likely the biggest game of the season...

Mercury News Photo gets a new look

Yet another redesign over at the merc, there’s something to this whole self-taught thing that I have yet to learn. I was feeling a little something for home and decided to check out the local news, wowza, someone’s been busy! While there take a look at SF Fashion Week (there’s a really awesome shot at...

What is truth?

by sdulai on Sep 6, 2007 • No Comments

As journalist, our stories go into the paper and inform the public today, but in time it becomes history and if that history is built on lies, then we become a nation of lies. But how do we define truth and when does something become truth? We once believed that using leeches as a medical...

Less pin-up, more set-up

I’ve never had cable TV before, but at my new place I’ve been watching it a bit and I’ve noticed there are a lot of advertisements with scantily clad women and commercials of models having their picture taken. My roommate also buys a bunch of tuner magazines and these always have scantily clad women all...

Time out Tuesdays

Welcome to Time out Tuesdays, where we stop for a moment and take a break from our hectic daily assignments and blistering pace of deadlines, errands, reporting and trying to remember to slip a lunch in there and instead take a deep breath and remind ourselves why we do this by peeping some inspiration. It’s...

Vanity and fairness?

by sdulai on Sep 4, 2007 • No Comments

I’ve been away for some time, running here and there and everywhere, but I finally got a chance to check out Vanity Fair’s July issues with the 20 different covers with various people in the public eye all posing and strutting for their support of Africa. Hmm…. it’s cool and all, but one thing… how...

Another one bites the dust

No I’m not talking about Alberto Gonzales and the mass exodus of the Bush administration, I’m talking about my laptop battery. Yup, it can’t hold a charge anymore, and I’ve been very limited in my online time. Darn. I thought that only happened to Apple folks, seriously how many of you have not had to...

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?

by sdulai on Sep 2, 2007 • No Comments

*Warning! Today’s post deals with some intense social issues and may not be suitable for anyone. If you’re hoping for the usual zany post on SLR today, I’m afraid this one isn’t it. It started out that way, but didn’t end up that way. I have hesitated publishing this for some time, afraid that my...

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
