Gerber 31-002072 Bear Grylls Compact Parang Knife

My wife, the Woot addict got this for me, for the yard.

Which I wanted anyway. Now I have to go cut things down and drink my own urine.

I keep one of these under my desk.

“I live on the Upper East Side and get very little public attention when making Vines up here, which is great. No one batted an eye when I taped a Kurt Cobain poster to a Citibank or sent a saxophone on wheels down a sidewalk. An old woman stopped to talk to me about the fish that I spray painted ‘JESUS’ onto, but she was really sweet. I hear a lot of people mutter ‘only in New York’ when they walk by.”

I’m still here: back online after a year without the internet

Paul Miller returns after a year off the internet.

I was wrong.

One year ago I left the internet. I thought it was making me unproductive. I thought it lacked meaning. I thought it was “corrupting my soul.” It’s a been a year now since I “surfed the web” or “checked my email” or “liked” anything with a figurative rather than literal thumbs up. I’ve managed to stay disconnected, just like I planned. I’m internet free.

And now I’m supposed to tell you how it solved all my problems. I’m supposed to be enlightened. I’m supposed to be more “real,” now. More perfect.

This piece (and the accompanying video) is really beautiful and also really sad.

Discussion: Analytics for News Planning Success, Not Info Overload

Description
Every year we come back for ONA, we know a little bit more about our readers, listeners and viewers — and we increasingly know what we know in real time. We know who these people are — where they live, what they care about — and we know what content of ours they’re clicking on, what they’re sharing, what’s trending, buzzing, going viral, flopping.

So now we have all this information at our fingertips as we make plans about how we cover the news. How do we use it? How should it influence our coverage plans — whether and how we commit resources to a story, how we promote the resulting content, what we choose not to cover as a result? Should it affect these decisions at all, or do our news instincts have veto power? Is there a way to incorporate our metrics into these decisions while upholding the noble goals of journalism?

Some key thinkers in news-related analytics discuss how the use of numbers in the newsroom may evolve in the coming months and years. The audience will drive the discussion — we propose to open the session with a brief introduction of the topic, then go straight to the audience to bring up their thoughts and concerns, which the experts will be challenged to address.

This might could be fun.

Well, now that (most of) the dust has settled and we’ve made a magazine, we want to show you all how we did it. Er, at least how we figured out the finances. See the full breakdown here.

Journalism is expensive, y’all.
