Happy Halloween!

// November 2nd, 2008 // View Comments // Flotsam & Jetsam

I’m a bit late, but I wanted to post a pic of the costume I wore this Halloween. I went as Marie Antoinette (although I think I look more like I swallowed Marie Antoinette.) I have always wanted to rent a nice costume, and this year I did. I used Frankel’s Costume in downtown Houston and well, see for yourself.

Where Have All the Editors Gone?

// August 31st, 2008 // View Comments // Flotsam & Jetsam

It’s not uncommon these days to see typos and grammatical errors on major news sites. Given the time-sensitive nature of the business, it’s understandable that a misspell or typo might make it through occasionally, but more and more I’m seeing the possessive confused with the plural. Surely even the most junior editor at a major online news site should know the difference?
