I don't have gchat or Skype, only iChat (AIM) and MSN through Adium. Skype is one of those things I need to learn... [Hurrying off to download]

I'd like that. I realized after I wrote it that it sounded terribly selfish to look at the income-potential of publish2 first instead of the value it could give readers. I think it's perhaps a little different for freelancers, because every minute we spend doing something means we're giving up time we could be pitching, writing, etc. So you have to carefully measure where you devote your energy. I've had an idea for a while that would be well-suited to publish2 though -- I may just have to make time. Anyway, thanks for the offer to chat about it. Name a day and time and I'll open my IM and we can talk. I'm on Central Time. Looks like you're on Eastern?

Great job on your SPJ feature!

I was never a member in college. I can see what a great resource it is for budding journos. In the same token, the School of Communication and The Hurricane didn't have a formal relationship when I worked there, either. (Aside from a faculty advisor.) I always thought that was beyond dumb.

Glad to see things better integrated.

The Miami Herald was where young talent went to get experience back in the day. Sounds like nothing has changed in that respect.

Yeah, I picked out the afternoon sessions I wanted to go to, but deadline (always busy on Wednesday) ruined those plans. I'm actually still dealing with a possible printing issue, at least from my dorm now--oy. Sundays are quiet and easy by comparison.

I was able to catch part of a few events in the auditorium by watching the live webcast. I also checked in with Twitter a few times.

I've been thinking about sending a proposal for the challenge, we shall see what scheme I can formulate...

The rest of the sessions were good. I feel VERY stimulated. Lots of good conversations. I wish I had more time to live-tweet it. You would have liked the one on the Knight News Challenge - if you haven't applied before - you should

Yes, Canes must stick together. Not to presume anything, but if you need any advice on breaking into the Newspaper biz, I was a reporter at Newsday for 11 years and was hired right out of college.

I guess the $30 per issue did pay off. Thank you Miami Hurricane!
