Not a bad looking place
I love time-lapse video. This one, put together by photographer Knate Myers from video taken from the International Space Station, will remind you — if you need reminding — just what a beautiful place our Earth can be.

All fall down
I’ll just let this Penn State student and alumnae speak for themselves as the Paterno statue came down Sunday.

This may seem trivial, but it’s all about trivia. Maybe good for a discussion in my “History of Journalism: From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg” class this fall.
Filmmmaker Jeremiah Warren created this animated video that explores the trivia behind trivia.

‘The Sarah Palin Rap’
I can’t help it — I just love the “Sarah Palin Rap” video from “Saturday Night Live” back in the fall of 2004.
My turn at the WJMC
What a day for the National Youth Correspondents of the 2012 Washington Journalism and Media Conference, who visited the National Press Club! The day started with “Today Show” host Hoda Kotb, who always seems to hug more than her share of the students, followed by a panel discussion with Chuck Todd, Chris Cillizza, April Ryan and Dana Bash.
Tough to top that, but I’ll give it my best on July 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the Johnson Center at George Mason University in Fairfax when I talk about “Journalism for the Rest of Us.” Hope the room is packed!

The place to meet on the Fairfax campus
The George Mason statue is kitty-corner to the Johnson Center and the Mason Pond Parking Deck, where guests can easily park on the first three levels (Fairfax campus map). As soon-to-be emeritus faculty, I'm always happy to meet with friends and my former Mason students on campus.
