Eli Sanders tries to understand why the [student-funded] Daily is publishing offensive, right-wing, poorly reasoned, ill-informed, anti-gay editorials. [slog] Let’s try to not cynically compare the number of comments between that one, and this pro-Prop 8 one published the same day [uwdaily] and just accentuate the positive — it prompted......

I have joined metblogs, a network of city-focused blogs for a number of metropolitan areas around the world. My friend Patricia is a contributor for the Seattle metblogs and that kinda gave me the impetus to do the same in my own city. Given how the Miami metblogs was downright suffering for lack of content (the last non-news post was in March 08) I decided this would be a great way ...... [Show More]

Once again it’s time for my weekly look at the things that are making me say WTF!
That’s it, the end of life as we know it .
Sarah says what ?
Some people have too much time on their hands.
Are you missing your foot ?
The stupid, it burns !
Gays vs Blacks - it’s a cage match to the death !
They’re gay and they’re gonna get you !

the passing of ed Post Source: feeds.feedburner.com Posted: Nov 07 2008 00:44:21
I just found out that a Seattle iconic figure, Ed McMichael aka “the Tuba Man,” has just died. Ed played his tuba for decades outside of sports games in the Seattle area. He was a childhood friend of my uncle Karl’s and they went to school together at King’s Garden in Seattle. When I was growing up, Ed was one of those regular figures that would show up, usually at my grand...... [Show More]
Tomorrow my husband and I mark the second anniversary of our move to Seattle. I know that still makes me very much a n00b — but given our wandering natures, for the Mr. and I to stay in one city for two years is kind of a big deal. An even bigger deal is that whenever he suggests running off to, say, Central America or the Caribbean for a couple of years, I say “No thanks.” Here...... [Show More]
No, this blog is not about our incident from the dog park on Sunday. It is about someone else’s attack turned tragedy that happened the same afternoon we were at Magnuson. The couple of a small dog that was attacked by a black lab or lab mix is looking for witnesses to step forward. The small dog consequently died from it’s injuries. This happened Sunday, October 26 around 4 pm near th...... [Show More]

King County Executive Ron Sims is big Twitter fan, sending out as many as a dozen messages a day, reports the Big Blog. “I intend to use my Twitter to release ‘news items’ or my thoughts about everyday living,” he explains . But we couldn’t help but notice in one particular message that Sims spelled Fremont wrong. Twice. The evidence:

SEOUL — IT WAS A GOOD THING that my life fit neatly into two large neoprene tubs. The apartment left room for little more. When I unfolded my built-in “kit chen” ; table from the wall, it blocked the entry way. The place had only one sink (in the bathroom) and my stovetop fit inside a small closet. But the floors were hardwood, and the location wa...... [Show More]
With LR’s new focus, I wanted to lay out the landscape in “the battle for local” - and look at some of the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Local TV
In most markets, four to eight television stations compete for on-air revenue. They traditionally knew who there competitors were and focused on on big advertisers like car dealers and furniture stores. While their core bu...... [Show More]

Vanavond hebben we afscheid genomen van de schoonouders.
