Twin City Sentinel

While we’re discussing content, have I mentioned that I am the proud new owner of twincitysentinel.com? For those of you who aren’t Winston-Salem old-timers (in other words, all but maybe two of you), the Twin City Sentinel was Winston-Salem’s old afternoon newspaper, which ceased publication in the mid-1980s. I was surprised the domain was available, actually.

I haven’t decided for sure what to do with it, but maybe it will become everything Planet Charlotte sort of never did. And maybe it will even use (gasp) a content management system.

MTV at 25

MTV turns 25 on Tuesday. What’s really interesting is that MTV itself can’t be bothered to mark the anniversary at all; that particular celebration will be held on sister station VH1 Classic, which will apparently be playing every video featured on MTV’s first day of programming.

Should be interesting. It’s too bad not many people will see it.

Just Enough to Be Dangerous?

It’s nice knowing just enough Unix command-line stuff that you’re not afraid to try something that will make your life easier, but also knowing little enough that you probably won’t try something that’s likely to take the whole server down with you.
