Thank you for free enterprise and people like John H Johnson who benefitted and helped others prosper within the capitalistic system.

I only wish that he was able to leave ALL of his wealth to those he wished to leave it to versus the government taking half with the Estate (death) tax.

Slightly off-topic:

Speaking on media, John H Johnson, who founded Johnson Publishing Company, which publishes Ebony and Jet magazines and gave many black journalists their start back in the day, died yesterday at age 87.

Thank you…and in due time…

I do so enjoy the mental (and spiritual) workout I get participating in this website, it won’t be long before you are getting even more calls (or emails) to contribute to some of these digital newsrooms…and I know you will make all of us proud!

Congratulations on the nuptials! I hope you soon hear the pitter-patter of little feet, blessed with an abundance of babies!

I actually want to, but for now demanding job and new bride (1 year in October) are taking up most of my time…hopefully I can break away from the rat race during the next 12 months.

But, I do like practicing on LBC!

As journalism in MSM goes digital, it will be interesting to see if all of the “establishment” journalist begin to change thier tune about outsourcing being good. Because once you have a vitual newsroom, any job in the physical newsroom can be outsourced for less cost.

This is going to be funny to see some of these people served notices of eviction from thier ivory tower…

Just curious: What does the NYT call its on-line effort—”Professional Annointed Jounalists Rant and Attack Pond Scum Bloggers”?

Glad to see Jarvis is getting with the program. This is the same stuff Dan Gillmor and others have been talking about for quite some time.

Love your blog.

For the price you pay for the cards, no doubt they are a worthy investment. It sure beats using a half-shredded napkin and a bic that is almost out of ink, and you have scribble back and forth for several seconds before you get writing capability.
