Month Update

So I'm back to my old ways of sparse updates. How many of you are really missing these, though? I mean, really.

I have kept up my work blog, Behind the Fold, which publishes every Friday at: http://tricityherald.com/behindthefold

Here are a few faves from the last month.



Yeah yeah...you've never seen this before, right? Sometimes, you gotta fall back on some cliches. This was for a Hanford stimulus story about the potential need for increased traffic patrols.



Scott Albin deposits cardboard that he collected from Red Lion Inn in Kennewick, where he initiated a recycling program.

High School Friendly Competion

Better late then never, right? This was a competition of more than 300 high school students with Hanford engineers acting as judges. Teams had 45 minutes to design and build a device that delivered a pencil to a specific distance using only common office supplies.

Also...a week-old item. I did a Soundslides for the first time in months. I'm not too happy with the photos, but I thought the audio turned out OK. It's a very basic, straightforward, slideshow:

Radcon 2009
