My ‘best of 2008′
I decided to put together my favorites of 2008. Kinda like what Lisa did with books, but also what music, movies and TV shows I enjoyed. Not all of them came out this year, but I found out about them this year. In fact, a couple are very old.

Cookie torture: part deux
As I am sure it is at other newspapers, The News Tribune has a tradition of “cookie torture.” Editors put a bunch of cookies on a new person’s desk and everyone on staff comes by to introduce themselves/give congratulations and grab a cookie. I was lucky enough to have this twice, once for my internship and once now I am, as my editor put it, “an official, permanent-although-not-permanently-assigned member” of the TNT’s staff.
I would like to emphasize the word “lucky.”
My time at The News Tribune couldn’t have been crazier. Seeing layoff announcements on my first day, seeing a wage freeze and being hired the same day they announce buyouts. I really have had no idea what to think these past few weeks/months.
