I was inspired by this to revive my blog: http://www.howardowens.com/2008/the-best-and-brightest-of-journalisms-future-not-exactly-wired/
I also plan on creating a personal site soon, once my designer roommate has a chance to show me how.
I’ve spent the past six weeks in Indianapolis as a Pulliam Fellow, writing a lot about firefighter radios and the drama behind the board that runs the dispatch center, as well as fireworks prices, new airport security checkpoints and the massive floods that hit Indiana.
But my best story so far has been this: Scratchers won’t find $1m prize.
A week later, the lottery sent a letter to retailers saying to immediately pull these tickets: Lottery to pull scratch-offs if big prizes gone.
After another three weeks in Indianapolis, I’ll be heading to New York for grad school at Columbia University. Perhaps I’ll update this a little more often, too, in case anyone else feels like Googling my name.
