I do believe The CA will be giving this feisty little dude — another of Shane McDermott’s Newsbots — away. I’ll post details when I get them. Become a fan of The CA on Facebook and you’re eligible to win! Hopefully the lucky winner will place him in front of an airbrushed portrait of a screaming bald eagle*. * I may or may not have already used that joke in real life. [Project 365]
The CA won the TPA’s honor of best newspaper in the state (general excellence or something is what they call it). Plus we got an award for awesome make-up and appearance, which is loverly since that’s what I do for a living. So we celebrated with free food today. Yeee-haw! Congrats to all the awesome people I work with. And yes, this is two work-related pictures in two days. I’m a career gal; what can…
Okay, kids, once again I’ll be down at Music Fest this year, logging photographs and observations of the goings-on. I’m pretty excited since I’m actually getting to go all day, all three days. Usually I either have to skip a day or go down for partial days. Of course, I’m sure I’ll be sick of it all by the end of the weekend, because three days of anything is enough to make me spontaneously develop…
These signs were posted outside all the elevators and inside all the restrooms when I got to work today. And this hand-sanitizer dispenser had been put up outside the first-floor elevators. Hysterical much? [Project 365]
Look what the massively talented Shane McDermott (who looks a little like Edward Norton and Chris Hardwick’s lovechild) did! He zombified Newsbot, just in time for Friday’s undead uprising! So freaking awesome. Soon enough, a template for this sweet sweet zombie Newsbot papercraft will be available on The CA‘s website (I’ll link it when it’s ready). And word on the street is that The CA will be giving away a fully assembled Zombot, who’ll come…
Spent my evening working on a Flash project for work. It didn’t start out well, because I’m still in self-teaching mode (and rusty from the weeks of atrophy following my early February Flash blitz course). But it ended just fine. In fact, I leapt up from my chair and ran around the water fountain and danced a little jig. I hope my luck holds because I’ve got to haul ass to get this thing done…
Dearest Neighbors: Kerry Crawford and I are trying our hand at a little ol’ fashioned blog aggregation for The CA over at The Memphis Blog. The blog is still under construction (the design and functionality is going to change within the next few weeks; right now it’s hard to distinguish between my and Kerry’s posts, there’s a jump link even when it’s not needed, the RSS feed is janky, and eventually we’re going to have…
Came home last night to find Bojanklesbot separated from his head. Hmmm. Wonder who did that. [Project 365]
Where the dead trees go to rest. Tonight some co-workers regaled me with tales of some of the crazier CA shenanigans over the years. Tales of open gunfire out front on Union Avenue translating into people inside (there are huge glass windows fronting our building) hitting the deck and hiding under their desks. Tales of a crazy man who lived on the fifth floor without anyone noticing for … weeks? Tales of another crazy man…
