This is a special Throwback Thursday, and the final newspaper I have from journalism classes 25 years ago. High School students from all over the county were invited to the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg to create a newspaper over the course of a few days. There were writing and …

This was the final issue I worked on as a senior. I have a few more to post from the year after I graduated. What strikes me most about these papers is the content. The bleeding-edge technology was one thing, but most of the stories inside were written way above what …
Let’s talk technology. When these newspapers were published, they were done so with brand-new desktop publishing technology – to a point. In 1986/87, the typesetting was done mostly in headlines and columns, which was then was physically pasted-up on boards using hot wax. The black and white photos were developed in-house, and …
Looking back at these issues of the Centurion is amazing. So many of the writers already had the voice that I recognize in them today. Most of the people involved with the Centurion have gone on to take jobs in media. It’s really proof of what a great program that …
I went to Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, FL, and was on the newspaper staff from 1989-1990. Every time we published, I snagged a few copies, and I had the foresight to sock them away somewhere fairly safe. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been doing some archival scanning of …
I also shot some iPhone video of a few branches of our dying oak being cut down. Pardon the dirty window. Part rigging, part climbing, part saw technique, all bad-assery.
An oak on our property situated between our house and a neighbor’s, has been progressively leaning, causing us to worry about it falling during a storm. Its roots were affecting our foundation, and it had a decaying hole from a branch that broke off years ago. All in all, an …
Molecular Media has re-branded, and with this comes new HTML signatures. Most of our users are on a recent version of MacOS X, which has a fairly straightforward – but user hostile – method of adding HTML signatures. A couple, though, are holdouts on Snow Leopard due to Parallels not …
Goodnight, Grandpa.
I went to the Tampa Obama Rally on 10-20-2008 at Legends George M. Steinbrenner field. I wanted to take some pictures, so I brought my long glass and a monopod. When the ticket folks saw me walking up, I was sent to the media table, and I was signed up …
Last week, I attended an awards ceremony for CATCOM, my alma-mater Lakewood High School’s magnet program for technology. CATCOM was started a couple of years after I graduated by Mark Granning, the teacher responsible for my success in media and technology. He retired at the end of the ceremony, handing …
…I was still recovering from the sadness of my mom passing away.
Pamela Ierna died around 10:30PM on Saturday December 9th, 2006. She was 61.
Over the last month or so, I’ve been working on an archival project, putting all of my tape-based media on hard disk.
One of the gems I found was a VHS copy of the Lakewood High School Jazz Band and Wind Ensembles from 1989.

Apple announced a warranty repair extension for the eMac when it shows no video! Since it was a refurb, I couldn’t verify against the serial numbers listed on the extension page, so I had to bring it in to the Genius Bar. They told me that my machine didn’t fall in the range. Crap.
My friend Dave Ferguson, a splendid graphic artist, went to check out the 5th Avenue NYC Apple Store opening last night.
