The printed word is dead.
The printed word is dead. It's all about the 0s and 1s.
"Easier-to-handle"
was how the KNS described its evolution yesterday. See also easier-to-handle ice cream cartons, paper towel rolls, and everything else where you pay the same amount for a smaller product.

I'd rather be cycling.
Next: Tract Format!
That's just the start. They're moving toward tract format to be ready when Scripps sells them off.
"Easier-to-handle" Yeah, I
"Easier-to-handle"
Yeah, I thought that was pretty good spin.
The printed word is dead.
I hope not. I'm still one of those that appreciates the printed word.
I only subscribe.....
....to the damn thing, 6 days a week, because my elderly mother likes to read the obituaries despite having lived in Indiana since 1957.
I so badly wanted to cancel when they canned Don Williams. The sacrifices we have to make for our parents.....[sigh].
obits are online
The entire obituary including photo is available online now.
I read the obituaries online
I read the obituaries online everyday.

HA!
The printed word wasn't dead at my home yesterday during the power outage. Printed words can be read by electric light, candle light, kerosene light and window light.
Try that with your "0s and 1s" during the next power outage.

1s and 0s. And no trees have to die.
USA Today Delivers
Got a mailer today offering 16 weeks of USA Today for $28.00.
With the dearth of content in the KNS, that looks almost worth it. Works out to $0.35 an issue. $0.15 cheaper than KNS, and all KNS seems to be doing is phoning it in from the wire services.
We currently get Fri/Sat/Sun KNS in our mulch beds. We have a sidewalk almost 6 feet wide, but our KNS carrier can't hit it. We do get a semi annual letter from our KNS carrier, however, asking for donations to support his family. I've decided when he hits my sidewalk, I'll kick him $5 extra bucks.
In three years, I have yet to pay out.
And another thing. Why won't WATE and WBIR stop reading the damn Internets every morning and actually get out there and do some local reporting? The local talking heads have been replaced by RSS feeds, they just don't know it yet.

Long battery life. Leave
Long battery life. Leave wireless on and recharge approximately every other day. Turn wireless off and read for a week or more before recharging. Fully recharges in 2 hours.
Assuming the battery was pretty well charged when the power went out.
really?
We lost power. We used our cell phones to Twitter.
Twitter content = newspaper

what about sudoku?
will it shrink? that's why I subscribe. I should just buy a book, but it's hard to stop at just one a day...
You can get sudoku on just
You can get sudoku on just about anything these days. Anylittle PDA and probably phones now can run it with unlimited puzzles. I downloaded "Pocket Sudoku" to my iPaq for free.
