Today was a long day, but I was finally able to sleep in until 6:30 a.m. after two days of work starting at 7. My blood-caffeine level is probably higher than it should be. And it’s raining again.
This blog has almost made it a week. I’m looking forward to potential projects, like tomorrow night when [...]

It’s not quite falling, but it will be inconvenient.
Since I was harassed for not updating for a day, I figured I would post a quick picture of the bridge in Hoquiam that will quickly consume much of my reporting and quite possible complicate traffic across the river beyond imagination.
Here is a photo I took [...]

I covered City Council tonight and thought I would take a quick video spin of the building on the way out. So this is Hoquiam City Hall. My reporting takes me to this building pretty regularly.

A call from a concerned reader hoping to send somebody a link to our “Making a Difference” section helped get some of the stories online today.
The 2008 Police Officer of the Year story that I wrote made it up. It’s a fairly long story about a captain who helped organize the security around an anti-war protest [...]

Pretty much everyone I know back in Spokane is struggling through the epic snowfall from the past 24 hours. My family has been snow-blowing the driveway pretty much constantly, my friends have been helping dig people out and others have lost power or been trapped, sadly unable to go to work.
Here’s a picture of [...]

Somewhat appropriately, the comic strip “Dennis the Menace” discussed bad news in the newspaper today. Mr. Wilson read his newspaper and grumbled, “Look at this! Nothing but bad news! One country’s mad at the other country! Higher prices for everything with no end in sight! The weather’s going bananas!”
Well he obviously didn’t see The Daily [...]

So in an effort to better entrench myself in the online journalism community, I started some more regular maintenance of my Internet identities. This has included everything from routinely updating Facebook to making sure there are a variety of links from this blog to people worth watching. Many of which are probably the only ones [...]

It is a little cold and gray out this morning. I mostly just wanted to see if I could report the weather from my phone.
I think it worked but I still need to figure out pictures.

All week, my editors have been dangling a few of the annual feel-good “Making a Difference” stories in the paper to drive interest, and save space. The grand finale is Sunday.
My first MAD story ran this morning regarding the Rev. Kent Gravley and the Immanuel Baptist Church of Hoquiam.
For the record: The reverend is a big fan of football [...]

Not winning any Oscars, but another step forward in testing what I can use my cell phone to capture. Here’s some brief footage from the East Aberdeen fire I covered last week, via YouTube.
