Dig it. RT @onemoreryan: Data on homeless students in WA: http://www.spokesman.com/data.... Dash of jQuery, custom tablesorter for first-click desc.
So apparently not even our site's web-export script likes the new Twilight movie – features story didn't make it online overnight.
Thank you, Tableizer, for saving me a ton of time converting spreadsheet data to html table. http://tableizer.journalistopia.com/
I dig how @kitsapsun's Christopher Dunagan is using @Publish2 to collect water-quality-related links e.g. http://pugetsoundblogs.com/waterwa...
@geoffpinnock Think I'll keep an eye on those comments. (Boys ranch moves assets before abuse trials’ start http://www.spokesman.com/stories...)
@palewire Yikes. I saw a trailer for that flick, but that's it. Lars von Trier has a knack for making me uncomfortable.
New Gainsbourg/Beck video, "Heaven Can Wait," is out. I didn't know Gainsbourg made music until a @palewire mix. http://pitchfork.com/news...
Today's talker: Drug dealer who missed 75 court dates granted furlough from jail for Thanksgiving dinner http://www.spokesman.com/stories...
@LosSowa I'd like to say it was skepticism about relatively good news after months of bad. That might be too generous.
Comment on news article: "Sounds like a made up number." *Posts source document* ... Crickets. http://www.spokesman.com/stories...
Ha! False answer from worksheet for Czech students I'm editing: "Dumpster diving is visiting the graves of famous people buried in L.A."
Experiment: MiniDisc player --> iMac line in --> Audacity + lots of cutting --> iTunes. As opposed to shelling out $10 to dl album.
And that "total" mentioned in previous tweet refers to our number of Facebook fans.#RTfail
RT @onemoreryan: No way to show causation but in 5 days since adding Facebook widget http://www.facebook.com/login... to story pages, our total up by ~10%
Curation: A Dead Idea Of Dead Thinking - http://ebooktest.wordpress.com/2009...
In some ways, this writer is correct in calling "bs". What lately has been termed "curation" is really just selective publication. But does reducing some of the legwork on a topic for readers add value? I'd like to think so. - Andrew Zahler
A Microformat with Major Implications - http://www.cjr.org/regret_...
Interesting idea. Based on recent comments on our site, I think readers are already starting to expect this kind of transparency. (via journerdism) - Andrew Zahler
@kleja What's the story with the sausages? Did you buy straight from the producer?

@nlawhead It was the National Weather Service that made the 100% snow call. It might have been reported by another entity as well ;)
@Dan_at_Avista Ha! Good one. But no snow could beat last season's for faux pas. Hosts were ready to turn in, and it was last guest to leave.
@k_dudley Weather Service stands by its forecast, but don't hold your breath until after 10 a.m. http://www.spokesman.com/stories...
@k_dudley Glad I could help ;) And I'm fully prepared to see a blizzard of snow tweets among Spokane users if/when the snow comes.

I hope my 22yo cousin realizes just how great his birthday mix cd is. @STJamesPants, frat boys in Santa Barbara will soon know your steez.
@DBonny Congrats on getting the nod for @DailyEvergreen editor!
