Ah, news

With all of this snow, it’s been a newsy time here in Cincinnati. Needless to say, I’ve been otherwise occupied with my “day job” to be very good at this venture by the time I get home at night.

I have a few things in the works, I swear, just bear [...]

Watch this space

Yes, it’s been quiet around these parts.

I’ve been temporarily sidelined by local elections and pneumonia, neither of which I can seem to put behind me even though they should be done by now.

I have lots in store, though, so don’t wander off. Fun stuff to come on Google Wave, the role of a social media editor [...]

Blog Archive: Seen and Heard

Probably my favorite project, Seen and Heard was a popular blog on local people-watching on JSOnline from 2005 to 2007. In addition to my usual work duties, I wrote this first person narrative blog as a labor of love. Even though the JS site did not yet have blog technology that could support commenting, I got [...]

Radio production: WKSU special projects

I was incredibly lucky to have spent a few years working at WKSU-FM, an excellent Northeast Ohio NPR station, for my graduate school fellowship. Each year WKU did a large-scale news series based around a topic in the news. During that time period, I got the chance to work with some of the best reporters I’ve [...]

Video: Man-on-the-street interviews

The following video was created in conjunction with Anna Roberts in February of 2007 as part of a local newsroom package on global warming. We shot the man-on-the-street video interviews on a consumer-grade digital handheld camera and edited the video in Final Cut Pro.

And, by the way, this was one of the worst assignments ever. I [...]

Audio slideshow: Emerald Ash Borer

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel launched a project focusing on the efforts to fight the invasive Emerald Ash Borer in December of 2006. At that time, I had created a microsite for this project and also constructed the following  slideshow for the Dec. 15, 2006 edition. The microsite is no longer accessible.

MJS photographer Tom Lynn took the [...]

Audio slideshow: Justice for Jude Rally

When four white, off-duty police officers were found not guilty of beating Frank Jude at a party in April of 2006, the city of Milwaukee was in an uproar. The following rally took place the day after the verdict in the streets of downtown Milwaukee.

The images were shot by MJS photographers Michael Sears and Kristyna Wentz-Graff. [...]

Site design: Foreclosure project

I created this microsite about regional foreclosures in October of 2007 on the previous version of the Cincinnati Enquirer’s website. We redesigned in the spring of 2008, the new page design for the new template set is here. [...]

Experimenting…

I’ve been playing around with caching plugins and a few other tinkerings inside the site code. Let me know in the comments if you see anything out of the ordinary. First and foremost, this site is for me to play and learn without the risk of wrecking my employer’s server, so you’ll see weird stuff every [...]

On vacation

I’ll be on vacation in San Francisco and Portland for the next ten days. So unless something pretty damn earth-shattering happens, I likely will not be blogging.

If you’d like to live vicariously through our travels, check me out on Twitter or keep an eye on our Flickr photo map. As a complete nerd, I plan to [...]
