Back To Waveny

The dog park around here was closed for a few months, but now that’s it’s opened back up, Data has been able to get in a good workout from time to time.  Here are a few shots from the last time we went.

‘Let The Shames Begin’

This is part one of what will probably be a long line of headlines that I wrote that didn’t make the pages.  There have been a few others, but this one I really liked.

The story: Ex-Olympic official pleads guilty to child pornography charges.

My headline: Let the shames begin

Vetoed because it applied judgement to him, which I understand on one level, but the guy did just admit to child porn.

Crazy Eyes

Time for some random photos.  The first is one Julia took of Jenn on Halloween.  The others are from the newly-reopened Spencer’s Run dog park at Waveny Park.  Data has been back a few times since it was made public again on November 1, which is great for him.  I’m still not sure who had the brilliant idea to re-seed a dog park in the first place, let alone in October, but whatever.

Dream Realized

My first presidential election in a true newsroom was an interesting one.  Being the low man on the totem pole means I was given a fairly bland page to create.  Of course everyone had ideas for the front page, but overall I think it worked out pretty well.  There are a few things I would have done differently had I been designing it, but I can’t really complain.  Maybe in 2012 I’ll get the page to myself.  Here is our front page, followed by the page I designed.
