Here’s something you won’t find on local Phoenix TV stations until they get around to their ho-hum coverage of the news: Empty Bowls, an annual charitable event in commemoration of World Hunger Day. Here’s a clip from the Empty Bowls event in Carefree, Arizona. The event also had a silent auction and was adjacent to the weekly farmers market (sadly in need of some good greens vendors.)

While in Orlando, Mike and I took some time to go over to Disney's Boardwalk (faux b-walk, if you ask me) and talked about our personal experiences with boardwalks. Mike's from Santa Cruz, which has one of the best-known plank-doms on the West Coast.

(bare with the sound quality, it's a good clip)

This quote from the Washington Post on citizen journalism. Think the company is feeling the pressure from the success of Backfence?

"Can't tell you when, but we're working on a handful of other ways to engage users, and among them is allowing for submission of content from outside sources. But there are a lot of details to be worked out before we're ready to go live."
