Looks like I'm overdue to post SOMEthing here. Very well.
My latest project is an attempt to bring back the Concrete Herald, my small town's newspaper from 1901 to 1991. It folded because the guy who bought it from its attentive and careful former owners was, apparently, a crook. What a shame.
So now, having been laid off from my full-time job, I figure I can do this. We have a monthly "shopper" at the moment, serving as our community newspaper, but it's... well, it's not a newspaper. Not really.
With more expertise and imagination than money, I've launched a fundraising drive that lives at www.concrete-herald.com. I've gotten some sweet press so far, including an awesome Seattle Times article posted at http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008717626_concrete07m.html, and a live, on-air interview with Ichabod Caine and the Waking Team at KMPS 94.1 FM in Seattle (listen to the interview at www.kmps.com; look for my name and the "play" icon just below the "Listen Live" link on the home page).
Anyway, that's the scoop. Tell everyone you know to check out the Web site and, if they're so inclined, to donate a little something-something. $1, $5, $10 ... every little bit helps. Interested folks can donate online or by sending a check payable to Concrete Herald:

Onward!
