One Utah

Well, I got away for a week in the southeastern Utah backcountry (more later) and was able to temporarily forget about spineless politicians, wars, human rights violations and other bad news. I was back home for last night’s presidential debate, not to mention the second-to-last episode of “The Sopranos,” but we had a power [...]

Doug Fabrizio interviewed local “Silicon Valley Wunderkind” and my friend, Joe Firmage, about The Internet and his project (and mine) The Digital Universe for Utah Now.
Joe Firmage has spent more time than most, thinking about the Internet and how it can be used for good. I think he is right on. Take a [...]

My friend and boss, Joe Firmage and I were on Radio Active today talking about the recently launched EarthPortal.org I hate the sound of my voice. I really am not a girl.

Ask the average citizen or child if they know that lying to ruin someone’s reputation is wrong and could get you in big trouble and they’ll probably say yes.

CJ (everyone is anonymous there) over at SoldiersPerspective.us just deleted my post after I raised the issue of his profiting from his site.
Yesterday, he accused me of celebrating US Troops killed as per the counter of the top-right of this blog. The top-right of HIS blog is a PayPal donation button, with the [...]

Tar & Feathers

Congratulations to KSL Newsradio for winning an Edward R Murrow award for its website.
I find it not just ironic, but disturbing that anything associated with KSL would win an award bearing the name of Edward R. Murrow, a man know for “honesty and integrity in delivering the news” and a “series of TV news reports [...]

Greg and I were on KRCL’s Radio Active today talking about blogging and the thank you sites.
During the show, Greg mentioned yesterday’s www.Truthout.org story about Karl Rove being indicted as an example of how the Internet has become an important medium for independent news. One anonymous caller claimed the story was not true.
Turns out [...]
