one hour news: “What Happened to the Cap’n?”

Sunday, February 29th, 2004

Steve and Adam (that’s me) present: one hour news, a television news magazine focusing on hard-hitting investigative journalism. The idea is to get the filming and interviewing done in one hour flat so we can deliver it to the public that is so hungry for real news as quickly as possible.

one hour news will be continuing this tradition of asking the right questions of the right people at the right places. But we need your help. We need to know: what are the issues you are interested in? What are the questions you want asked? And basically, who should we harass for your entertainment’s sake?

Comment on this post to help us determine what issues one hour news should look into in the next few weeks.

But please, do this after watching this edition of…
one hour news: “What Happened to the Cap’n?”

In this show, we look into a startling trend in American food: the disappearance of Cap’n Crunch from an increasing number of shelves. We ask the tough questions. We get real answers. And we use big words!

Killing Time (but in a humane way)

Hmm.. I must use this opportunity to my advantage. This post is allowing me to prevent myself from writing a VERY boring paper (it is definitely a boring paper as shown by my use of caps). This use of my time is so well spent that maybe I should try to extend this post (after all it is my first). Oh I know! Now no laughing since this took me 5min to translate: “Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?” “Is that a scroll in your toga, or are you just happy to see me?” Anyways, that is about all I got, I’m serious, completely drawing a blank right now. Well I did manage to delay my fate for about 10mins, so thanks.

No. THIS is fun.

Ha ha. I just realized I didn’t provide the first link I meant to in the previous post. What was supposed to be “fun” was this — Flash ping pong! And it is. (Fun) What is funny about it is that I did what I usually do when I’m making a post and I don’t have the URL off hand. I just create an empty hyperlink tag with just a “” rather than a “http:// etc…” But empty quotes in a link tells it to link to the current page — so I just linked you to mathcaddy.com and said “This is fun.” When I realized it, I could have fixed it, but I think it actually makes sense that way with the post. Whatever. I’m done with this. But does it win?
