Friday Night Open Thread
We've filled the page with health care and crime news today. What else is going on?
Newspapers are about to suffer another revenue loss...movie theaters are deciding to cancel their print ads with show times.
I'm getting excited about Huffington Post launching a Denver edition next month. I had dinner last night with the new editor of the Denver edition, 22 year old Ethan Axelrod, and Katharine Zaleski, HuffPo's Senior News Editor (just a few years older than Ethan.) We had a fun night, they've got great ideas and are assembling a well-balanced and interesting group of Coloradans to contribute to the venture. Memo to Ethan's dad: He'll need a car instead of just a bicycle in a few months. We get snow and nights are really cold and I'll bet he'll be working late on many of them. [More...]
Also in Denver: We just got a new state of the art health club downtown in the Tabor Center. Every treadbill, bicycle, spin bike, elliptical trainer and stairmaster has its own HD TV screen with cable tv, but even better, each has a built in i-Pod connection (no cords needed), so you can watch your videos and movies on the big screen. I joined after one visit (it helped that my trainer from my old gym left to become personal training manager at this one) and went four times this week. My only concern is I will run out of music videos and tv shows to watch.
And I'm still not boycotting Whole Foods. Remember those peaches President Obama got last week when Michelle and their daughters went to the orchard in Palisade, near Grand Junction? I just got a bunch at Whole Foods from the very same orchard.
Update: One more thing for commenters here. We had a huge swarm of spammer registrations last night and today -- more than 100 (make that 300 in the past 24 hours) -- each of which I had to delete manually. So we've disabled the lines in your user profiles for your bio and websites until we get it under control and figure out a better solution. Hopefully just a few days. These spammers register but rarely comment. They just fill the bio section with links to their products. Almost all are from the UK, Phillipines, India and Australia.
Ok, your turn, all topics welcome.
