When reporters go out on a limb
LeBron James should have been the unanimous MVP this year, but he didn’t get the vote belonging to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. Washburn spent an entire column to defend himself using flawed logic. For example, he stressed that without Carmelo Anthony (for whom Washburn voted), the Knicks would not have made the playoffs.

The end of election 2012, finally
In all honesty, I didn’t think this day would ever come! With a seemingly never ending election season, the today is finally here. To say I’m excited would a gross understatement. And while others might reserve their excitement for tonight when the results come, my excitement comes tomorrow with the end of political ads! For months it’s [...]
Food blogging
In addition to heading Revelation, I also run a dining guide called EatDrinkMadison.com. Today, the local daily newspaper ran a long feature story on the prevalence of food bloggers in town–yours truly included–called “Eat Drink Blog” (I’m hoping that my guide’s name influenced the title of the article). What’s not printed here that I discussed [...]
A different filter for Instagram
I always have to preface these types of posts with this statement: my feelings towards social media and technology vary greatly when talking about personal versus business use. It’s fair to say I can be rather dismissive when it comes to the latest and greatest technology, gadgets, and all around high tech offerings. Not because [...]
Tweet Tweet
I, like many others, use Twitter as a news source. Because I am a creature of convenience, I follow my favorite news outlets and am able to browse all of them in one stop. It’s amazingly efficient and I would highly recommend condensing your news surfing through Twitters! That being said, it concerns me how [...]
An Instagram worth a thousand words
Some might assume that the news of Instagram’s Android debut being delayed would disappoint my nerdy, amateur photographer self. They would be wrong. The social media site and app does seem to fit with my compulsive need to take and share pictures. And I am excluded from joining because I actively refuse to join the [...]
Capitalizing on popularity
I recently saw a trailer for a new Fox’s cartoon that made me irrationally irritated. And by new I of course mean the television version of the 2004 movie “Napoleon Dynamite.” Now, it’s not that I dislike the movie. To be honest, I haven’t seen the movie all the way through. I have seen enough [...]
Who cares about Asian carp?
I’m really sick of the recurring stories about Asian carp. Reporters and editors preach so much about publishing stories that matter to/affect their readers, but the Asian carp is not one of them. If it did, reporters would explain why higher in the story. Take this story from The Capital Times, titled “Fears become reality [...]
