Time for a WordPress blog, suggestions?

After looking at The Death of The Blog Post I think it's time to move over to WordPress and design a new blog. Those who are using it have any suggestions?

Veterans Listening Project/National Day of Listening

Today is the National Day of Listening. Please check out the projects myself and several others from Syracuse have put together on the Veterans Listening Project. You can also create your own stories by going to the National Day of Listening site run by StoryCorps from NPR.

My Thanksgiving

I had a nice, quiet slow Thanksgiving in Syracuse this year. Here's a look at what I did, it seemed to be based around food, TV and a nap, like any good Thanksgiving I think :-). Click for a larger view:

Party Crasher

I saw the recent stories about the couple that crashed the White House dinner the other night and I had one of those moments where I knew I had seen them before. After reading through the story I realized "The America's Cup of Polo!" I had photographed the event a couple years ago and Tareq Salahi (one of the organizers) while I was there. Unfortunately I haven't found one of his wife, but I do recall her being there. I thought it was kind of funny that I got Tareq with America's Most Wanted John Walsh:

Ira Glass

Ira Glass came to SU to speak about story telling, journalism and how he hates facebook (sort of). It was awesome, inspiring and refreshing. Here's the audio for the entire (1 hour 45 min) show.

Individuals

As storytellers, we're constantly focusing our stories on individual people and their lives. I was a little bored today, going through some archives and found these photos. Are they the best photos? No. Do I care? Not really. I was just thinking that these were some people I wish I had talked to more and perhaps told their story.

Fall Workshop Multimedia Piece

I've finalized my multimedia piece (I hope). Let me know what you think.
