Got to mulling as we wind down yet another year because that’s what we humans do at the end of December and the beginning of January. I was helped along by a couple of recent, small epiphanies that crept into my chocolate-besotted brain and stuck there like glue.
Have a touch of insomnia, so was up early, browsing the internet (a series of tubes, you know), and found the below boo-boo on the Nevada Appeal web site. Clicking on the link takes the viewer to a blank template page. There’s not a flood to be had, as you can see from the weather icon next to the newspaper’s logo at the top of the graphic. The mistake may be a headline from 2005 or 1996.
This goes hand-in-hand with the Washington Post’s recent announcement that their senior editors will be more involved with how stories appear on their ten-year-old web site. Shows my nativity: I thought editors were responsible for all of the content of their periodicals. Not so much: the print versions (staid, 17th century) and on-line versions (hip-hop, 20th century) have different management infrastructures at many newspapers. News to me.
Continuing the tradition of the PostCard of the Week, courtesy of PostSecret:
Haven’t been posting because I’ve been busy avoiding holiday merriment (joking), finishing up the end of the semester and starting my new job (what? you didn’t know?).
Got stuff brewing and will being boring y’all again soon. In the meantime, hope you’re well and thinking positively about the new year. Be happy.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
Luke 2:8-14
