About me:
I'm a journalist, frustrated writer and wanna-be banjo picker in Houston, Texas. I work for the nonprofit news site Texas Watchdog. Some other sites I run in my personal time:my personal blog; the world's only Internet-only publication dedicated to Warrenton, Ga., www.warrentonwatch.com; www.blundale.com, the official unofficial site for my father's hometown of Blundale, Ga.; and www.anneandthem.com, the official Web page of a band that is still together, if only in theory (we're gonna get together and play again someday, and when we do, it's gonna be bigger than Paul, George and Ringo getting back together with that 8-track of John). I'm also the Webmaster/blogger for the Nashville chapter (where I used to live) of the Society of Professional Journalists.
Meanwhile, I am considering trying to create a new "group" here on MySpace -- the Group for People Who are Really Too Old to Be on MySpace But Who are Trying to Learn More About the Appeal of This Phenomenon to Our Youth. If you're interested in possibly joining this group, please do let me know.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd be glad to hear from anyone on MySpace who is a fellow SPJ member, other IRE members, other journalists covering statehouses, fellow Vanderbilt Hustler alumni, other journalists trying to learn GIS computer mapping, other banjo pickers and picker-wanna-bes like me and (as I mentioned above) other people who are also too old to be doing this MySpace thing but who are curious as to what it's all about.
