Yup. Playoffs. The only team in D.C. to consistently make the playoffs in recent memory, the Washington Capitals have hosted three hockey games so far in their first round series against the Montreal Canadians. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend two, with a fancy and expensive video camera in tow. It’s been useful practice for [...]
I’ve been using video cameras a lot lately. I think I’m starting to like it. This video is from CSNwashington.com. It’s their first crack at a weekly online show called Caps OT. I helped with shooting some of the video, including the shots of Caps analyst Alan May and the stand-up by Michelle Scalise at [...]

The title is just a personal gripe of mine. I just think there should be a more concrete reason for calling it Twitter. They could do it, but have a mute option. But I digress. The topic of Twitter is indeed at hand, and today, it coincides with the topic of star power. There are [...]
The Washington Post has finally completed a month’s worth of voting to reveal the winner of their new competition, “America’s Next Great Pundit.” Kevin Huffman, a Teach for American executive from the District, won the finally round of voting by beating runner up Zeba Kahn by a few hundred votes. As is anything in Washington, [...]
I’ve wanted to write this bit for a long time, but couldn’t. I had yet to receive the elusive Google Wave invite. Yesterday, it finally happened. Hopefully you’ve heard of Google’s latest invention, a real-time communication tool via the Internet that’s got everyone excited, partly because it is potentially awesome and partly due to its [...]

Yet in most tragedies, the reporters roll seems to be to find some motive, some reason behind the act, however odd and random it may seem. In the case of Maj.

The horror. Being a Redskins fan is a terrible existence right now. In fact, I can’t think of a time in my life when being a Redskins fan has been rewarding, fun, or something to be proud of. Full disclosure time. My career as a Redskins fans had the unfortunate luck of beginning around the [...]
