Since posting a job for a social media intern in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s newsroom, I’ve been asked twice whether that person will be required to work in St. Louis. It’s a fair question. Certainly in the 21st Century it’s conceivable that a job like that could be done remotely. The Chicago Tribune folks who take care of Colonel Tribune’s persona on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Digg and other sites could probably do the work in Michigan as easily as Michigan Avenue.

Shel Writes A Book
Shel Israel continues his duping of people dumber than he is with his latest idiotic offering, a book about Twitter. Do the publishers know anything about this space? This is a man who could not and still doesn’t know how to deal with a puppet. Think about that for a second. A puppet. Is this the person we want explaining Social Media to anyone? This is why we never improve, we won’t just tell the truth. Shel Israel is a dope. Why is it considered so mean to call out a dope? We need to cut the

Help Human3rror Meet His Mother
One of my favorite online friendships is with John Saddington. We have just recently gotten to know each other via email, chat, Twitter, etc. His online humor always makes me laugh and I have found him to be a very giving, and appreciative person.

jQuery on Rails: Why Bother?
In which I explain why I use jQuery at times and how you can as well. Oh, and I provide a wealth of links. Links are fun! A few people have suggested that I post about how to use jQuery with Rails. I thought about it and felt that others have already covered it quite well but why not collect their posts here for you to enjoy, right? Plus, I do all my JavaScript from scatch so I do not really ever use the helpers Rails provides and as such could not post intelligently on them. So John, When Did
