- Become a Mobile Food Sleuth with Food Truck Follower
June 16, 2011 – I am a fan of the food trailers. But I shared this primarily because it’s the only instance I can recall of an Android-FIRST app. I suddenly feel disadvantaged and/or oppressed. /whine

- Commentary, Jason Embry: New York trip shows strengths, risks of possible Perry candidacy
June 16, 2011 – The thing that’s most interesting to me about Perry’s flirtation with running for president is the excitement it’s generated in the Texas media. It’s not that he is well-loved by the media, but these guys know that their tickets to national punditry and links in Politico and the NYT are enhanced by the spotlight being shined on Perry. Several Texas journos got a LOT of bookings (and book deals) when the nationals needed to know what made George Bush tick. History repeats itself.

- austin360.com : Anderson Cooper says Alamo's Tim League deserves Nobel Peace Prize
June 8, 2011 – Aw, our little story done gone viral! And I brought it to you first.
- Magazine Preview: You Blow My Mind. Hey, Mickey!
June 8, 2011 – The pothead stuff is boring, but I always enjoy reading observant, ironic accounts of Disney travelogues. It makes me feel less alone in my cynicism.
I narrowly avoided going to one of the mouseplexes with family this year. Best for them and for me.
- City holds power over F1 happening, or not
June 8, 2011 – I love sports blackmail. Why do my conservative friends not get bent out of shape about incentive deals, and private entities that “require” government funding to thrive? At the very minimum, government entities being asked to cough up taxpayer dough should receive a guarantee that if the business doesn’t bring economic benefit to the community at the level promised, the developer will turn over a giant escrow payment to taxpayers?
- Texas governor convenes day of prayer and fasting
June 7, 2011 – “He wants other governors to join him at Houston’s Reliant Stadium, home to the NFL’s Houston Texans, for an August 6 event.”
So, the concession stand will be closed?

- Marc Maron explains his podcasting infamy
June 7, 2011 – I don’t follow stand-up comedy much, but if I were still writing about podcasting (sigh) I would be doing features about how the medium has become a boon for stand-up comics and radio people. And I would talk about hos this development has gotten a lot of new people to listen to podcasts who never did during what we producers like to think of as the golden years.
- The Man Who Cried Scandal
June 7, 2011 – Look, the dude is a liar. He’s been caught making stuff up, and editing selectively more than once. Getting a story right, or partially right does not
mean you have earned RRSPECT. Media self-reflection isn’t warranted for scumbags who get lucky.
- ABC News 'likely' to name woman who says she received shirtless Weiner pic, source says (Greg Sargent/Washington Post)
June 6, 2011 – I never want to see the words “shirtless Weiner pic” again. I don’t think I’m alone in that.
- Alamo Drafthouse Uses Angry Voicemail For “Don’t Text” Warning
June 6, 2011 – At the Alamo, where you need to arrive early to get a good seat, your compensation is that the pre-movie ad/trailer/announcement fest is actually quite entertaining. And there’s beer!

- Gaffe Of The Day
June 6, 2011 – I don’t watch a lot of this stuff, but I notice three things about this screen cap that are uncommented upon by the author. 1) Isn’t “tracking the movements…” a super-weird way to discuss campaign coverage? 2) Too much stuff on that screen in all caps. 3) How old is the anchor, and does she, um, have any journalism credentials? Now I’m being super-shallow on this last one, I realize, but wow.
