There’s nothing quite like unrolling the newspaper in the morning, having a cup of coffee, getting newsprint all over your hands, and wrestling with those big-ass pages while you try to eat your oat bran. The newspaper is a part of culture that is weird, outdated, and absolutely fabulous. Hopefully, it will never go the way of the eight-track. But a little something extra to go with all that recycling-bin filler has become de rigeuer, according to Center for Media Research. Today, 92% of America’s topp 100 newspapers offer video on their websites. 39 papers offer original video content! 93 papers offer RSS partial text feeds, and no papers have begun embedding advertisements in their RSS feeds.

I avoid walking under ladders, never toast with water, and am even known to throw salt over my shoulder now and again. I braced myself, ready for the luck that was sure to come my way on this 7/7/7, the Luckiest Day of the Year.?Ǭ† I came up snake-eyes. On the other hand, it was a great day for my dog, Blue. A bird flew over us while we were on our morning walk. Blue jumped up in the air and caught the bird in one clean mouthful. Now that was PURE 7-7-7.?Ǭ†?Ǭ† For those of you who didn’t catch a bird in your mouth today: We are capable of creating our own reality– of using the things the universe puts in our path, no luck necessary.

Just when we thought Buff Monster had gone high-falutin’- gallery-style on us, we found this bit of treasure on one of L.A.’s streets.?Ǭ† Thanks to Rudy for spotting it, and to the Official Frank #1 for screeching to a stop to get the pix. Tried to peel it off for keeps, but no dice. Maybe next time…
