We've got it made...

...or so I thought. But not according to Helen Popkin at MSNBC, who gave this rant about the havoc that technology is wreaking in the lives of today's mindless youths. Are her points valid?

Completely Unrelated

Summer isn't just about internships and easy classes. It's time to take advantage of just that, free TIME! I like to paint every now and then to relieve a little stress. Thought I would share my latest, an ode to the Stones. Enjoy :)

Herald work

Just a quickie to share two other slideshows I've done for the Herald. The first is from a memorial day monument dedication ceremony in Alachua back in May. I used Windows Movie Maker and a licensed song from a Grammy-award-winning gospel singer that my editor picked out.

After using Soundslides, I prefer it much more over WMM (which doesn't lend itself well to journalism purposes), but being at a small weekly paper out in the boondocks of northern Florida, internet connections and lack of Flash capabilities made it easier to just make a .wmv.

Alas, my most recent story is indeed a Soundslide (my most journalistic yet I think!) of a historical marker unveiling in Bland, Fla. I've racked up a nice amount of clips too, all of which can be found with a simple search for "Mallory" in the High Springs Herald archives. I'm nice and busy, but summer's almost over. Can you believe it?
