Erik Gable Confessions of a curmudgeon: Why I used to mock Twitter, and what changed my mind

(Cross-posted from here.) I admit it -- I can be a curmudgeon sometimes. I'm rarely the first to jump on a technological bandwagon. I didn't own a CD player until 1995, nor a DVD player until 2002. I didn't register a Twitter account until June 1, 2009, after one of the school distric… Continue

Zeeshan Rahat Kureshi Uncovering the Presence of Blackwater in Pakistan

Ole Helmhausen The Last Wolves of Banff

Here´s a link to my latest story for Spiegel-Online: http://www.spiegel.de/reise/fernweh/0,1518,653592,00.html Unfortunately its in german but even with a translation program you´ll catch the drift.

Brian Donohue Newspaper webcast: lessons from a rookie year

The three of us started Technically Philly, a site to cover the city’s tech community, in February.
