newspaper

July 31, 2009

I started a new endeavor. I was selected to be a community columnist for the next year in my local newspaper. I am not allowed to republish what I have written for the Trib here. However, if there is interest, it can be found at www.tribtoday.com, under Opinion. I have been writing a blog on and off for years, but this is my first real foray into journalism. I hope I don't screw it up. good night and good luck...stimp

The revolution

July 30, 2009

OK. Perhaps My Space wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. I have had my account a around a year, and blogging there isn't as fulfilling as it was here. So I am coming back. I liked it here.

I am getting a big kick out of Twitter. It's fun. Not particularly deep, but lots of fun. Find me there at stimp99 if you wish.

I am starting to write for a real newspaper. Our local hires folks to write as community columnists for a year. My first column is tomorrow, and I am nervous about writing for it. This seems less intimidating somehow. The paper seems more real, considering I am getting paid for it. We'll see how we go.

In the meantime, check this space for more interesting blogs in the near future. good night and good luck...stimp
