  1. My story on downtown fires is a top story on the Assn. of Alternative Newsmedia site. Check it: bit.ly/q0gNcq
  2. Shakespearean English is on the outs, it seems. RT @APStylebook The past tense of dream is dreamed.
  3. @jordancardwell I'm going through the incident reports at the police station to put these up. They don't post them online anywhere.
  4. Working on a crime map for @chascitypaper. Not a lot of data points yet, but what do you think? cpassets.com/crime/
  5. How to write a book of jubilations: My interview with the one and only @joshritter. bit.ly/oFv5Gv
  6. Just bought a dang microwave. Thank you, Consumer Reports, for making decisions for me.
  7. Has anyone seen any Mormon bicycle missionaries riding around Charleston recently? I'd like to talk to one of them.
  8. Listening to a little Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three. Sounds exactly like the name. n.pr/mZVsWC
  9. @jimmyjesusallen Shucks. Something like that.
  10. @maryaustinphoto I know, right? Not a bad gig.
  11. Glad somebody else noticed this. Starbucks ad vs. Requiem for a Dream heroin scenes. youtu.be/wSNySbcPh_A
  12. Interviewing a brewmaster tomorrow, Newt Gingrich Wednesday, Josh Ritter Thursday. This is my job.
  13. Met someone today who's moving away from downtown to flee all the arson. Know of anyone else doing the same?
  14. Pulled a 30-foot thorny weed out of my yard. #nature
  15. 92% of Americans prefer Swedish wealth distribution. Not exactly the same as agreeing with #socialism, but interesting. bit.ly/rhHFMS
  16. Now tweeting at @CCPNews (no, that's not Chinese Communist Party News). Follow along?
  17. Word of the Day: futilitarian (adj.) Believing that human hopes are vain and unjustified. Gotta love those clever 19th-century coinages.
