- I don't use a cell phone. I don't have cable TV. I'm on dial-up. I don't even have a microwave.
But I do have a wiki!
And as of Feb. 5, 2008, I have a two-page Web site. It's not pretty, but it works.

Journalism is my second career, after the Marine Corps and odd jobs (some were more odd than others). I started as a reporter in Apache Junction, Ariz. I've moved around a bit but have been at The N&O in Raleigh since late 2000. My duties there have next to nil to do with the Internet.
But I had a very small Web site around 2000. I started Journawiki a few years ago, but I slacked off because I got little help. I'm competing in the Knight News Challenge and learning SPSS, a statistics program.
My knowledge, technology and not, is often more broad than deep. My digital interests are less about storytelling and more about collaboration, interactive data and civic tools.

Group feeds
I've combined the RSS feeds for the visual journalism groups.
You can see the blended feed on my page, and you can get it here.
I used Feed Digest.
Feb. 5 -- I'm replacing the feed on my page with a WJ education feed made the same way. You can get it here.
In either case, if I overlooked your group,

In case you're afraid of asking an ignorant question ...
I'll do it!
I don't know how to turn on the sound on my computer. It has Windows; I believe XP.

The regional groups for the U.S. were a good idea though (I don't know if you got the impression I didn't think so). I wish more Portuguese journalists would join this community too.
