I usually don’t cross-pollinate, but I am particularly proud of these three posts I did on the Orlando Sentinel UCF Community Blog. Most notably because I shot pictures, video or both for all three. It was good practice for doing mobile journalist work (mojo for short). However, a real mojo would get full stories as [...]
Now that graduation is on the horizon and I have a small foothold in the newspaper business, I’ve been looking at my options. Considering that I am working at a newspaper whose online division ranks in the top 30, not to mention several of its sister publications, I have a good avenue to go almost [...]
I may not be first on Google, but I sure as hell am on Yahoo!
Take that real estate agent Steve Mullis of Mesa, Arizona! Now to get some actual regular readers.

OK, so I normally keep the personal posts out of this blog but this warrants a mention since it is journalism related. Through the thoughtful recommendation of one of my professors, I am now a part-time employee (technically) of The Orlando Sentinel. I am a temp. online weekend producer, and so far it is one [...]
I forgot to put these up, but I had two more articles run. Both were speakers, one was a professor from Princeton speaking on illegal immigration and the other was the former first lady of Egypt, Jehan Sadat.
Fighting for the people
Illegal immigrant arrests at a 40-year low
Oh and just to gloat a little and mug [...]
New article up!
Front page (PDF)
This story was interesting because it was the first story where I went to an off-campus event, put on a tie, got credentials and strutted around like an actual journalist. I even talked my way out of paying for parking at the Shingle Creek Resort (which is hella awesome) by flexing [...]
…but I still had to write an update to it.
It’s just a short piece, but it’s another clip to show at the internship fair I am attending Monday. The thought of being a 28-year-old intern is a little unsettling, but I’ll get used to it. We all have to pay our dues.

Senior may have meningitis
This was a breaking news piece that I had about two hours to gather information and write. I was pretty proud of myself. Front page again, I’m three-for-four.
Funny though that after my article on how prevalent meningitis isn’t in the student population, some kid gets it. Does that make me look like [...]
Sorry, I couldn’t help it.
Tomorrow I’m covering some breaking news that relates to another article. Awesome.
p.s. Please no one point out the errant comma in the fifth graf, it was an editor’s mistake, not mine. It has been corrected in the online version.

Bridging the gap - UCF professor works to make computers adapt to users
The editors chopped it a bit but that was to be expected. I turned it in at over 1,000 words, which is taboo in the college circuit. Damn child pornographers, if that kid could have held off getting caught I might have gotten [...]
Second article up!
Next up, Augmented Cognition in the gaming industry. Coming Friday.
Did I mention that my new laptop has a webcam? Not that I have a need for that sort of thing.But it does help me keep tabs on my Lionel Luthor progress.
Now all I need is a billion dollars and ruthless attitude. Baby steps man, baby steps.
Off to conduct interviews, laters.
