The lead in this AP story is exactly wrong, just fyi.

We basically created, with coders in the newsroom, today’s presentation of online news. All the cable TV stuff came later.

MSNBC Will Change Its Name Later This Year As Part Of Corporate Divorce From NBC The television network MSNBC will change its name later this year as part of its corporate divorce from NBC.

People forget MSNBC started as MSN News. I worked on it as a copy editor in scattered offices on the Microsoft campus, then we moved to a fancy new movie-set newsroom at Microsoft. We started getting visits by people like Tom Brokaw, and then Microsoft and NBC made the deal to start MSNBC.

Thanks for the summary. Making it a place for humans is everything. My one concern is the Browns stadium provided a focus for how people could use the waterfront. Without the obvious pedestrian focus of game days I worry the development may go in more vague/car-centric directions.

Don’t have a Crains sub currently, curious what was said. Obviously we need to get this right.

Could I ask where in the city this is? When restoring an 1872 building on E 25th near St Clair I watched our plumber scope our sewer line and I’ll never forget when the camera reached the grand, vaulted brick main sewer. Kinda looked like this.

I wanna say Bill Caudill, he was a little quirky.

As a #Mariners fan living in Cleveland I’m stoked for this! Josh Naylor brings a vibe Seattle needs and the Guardians are missing.

Belted kingfisher, they like living near bodies of water in Ohio.

Belted kingfisher, they like living near bodies of water in Ohio.

I’ve been having a kingfisher dive bomb me on my morning runs this month along the south side of Browns Stadium. She has a nest in the ginkgo trees and she does not want me there! She will peck me in the head if she has to! Cool little bird. I cross the street now.

Growing up on the west coast, the craft beer movement was revolutionary. Just wild your dad’s role in it. Condolences. A parent passing is always a big deal.

The thing about β€˜ageing gracefully’: whatever you call it, I’ll do it my way One thing I’ve noticed is that as they grow older, people tend to care less about others’ opinions. Sometimes that’s liberating

The Guardian asked me to write something on a very juicy topic: "aging gracefully." www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

We’re cat-sitting this holiday weekend. Meet our houseguest Toots, who looks shy and demur but woke us to her zoomies this morning.
