The Newspaper Industry

An interesting article on slashdot about the future of newspapers, the same theme I've heard and read about in other articles:

I would probably read the "newspaper" a lot more if it weren't for the physical medium - carrying around an Amazon Kindle would make it much easier to read and take with you.

Unrelated - it is a beautiful day again today - dad was visiting this weekend and yesterday we drove down to the Mississippi river and went up the Wisconsin side and had lunch at a nice little restaurant in Alma and walked around for awhile. We stopped at an art gallery where there were bunches of animal and cat portraits - now I want to have portraits done for our cats :)

I've read something in the paper about photos, and art done for your up, but not sure if this was the same place or not.. But they showed some work, and I was impressed with it.

Good things you guys went on Sunday, and not on Saturday cuz of the 100 mile garage sales, traffic was crazy on Saturday.
