A new restaurant in Mumbai is called “Hitler’s Cross.” And no it’s not just the name the restaurant is themed…well as the Reuters article put it “It’s like if “The Producers” opened an eatery.

As Jedd said “Something labeled as “don’t download this song” sounds sketch,” but promise it’s not. Weird Al (what ever happened to him) just released a new cd called “Don’t Download This Song.” Well I recommend that you download his song for free…leagally on his site. Here is the link to the song.

So many people have been asking me about my Wheel of Fortune experience. According to the Wheel message boards my show will be re-airing this Thursday. I am not sure if this is true because the website says otherwise. We shall see.

Shafer to leave WESH
Posted by mizzounyc under Convergence, Journalism, NBC, Orlando, University of Missouri1 Comment
Longtime WESH reporter/anchor/photog/sports director and most importantly MU grad Bill Shafer will be leaving WESH sometime in mid-August, according to rogersimmons.com. Shafer was someone who helped to firm up my decision to go to MU and I thank him for that. So where is Shafer going? You guessed it, Middleton Courdiet. Now I am really excited to see what comes of the group.

Finding the right college
Posted by mizzounyc under Journalism, Misc., University of MissouriLeave a Comment
By the fact that I went all the way from Fla. to Mo. shows just how much I think it is to find the right college. While I made my choice because I wanted to go to the best journalism school, Mizzou is also a great university to be a student at. The New York Times has some great resources on choosing the best college. Be sure to check out the slide show on student trends in 14 states.

Apparently I’m not fulfilling my full duties as an intern. A recent story in the NY times titled ‘Interns, the Founts of Youth’ is all about how interns bring out the inner ‘child’ in their bosses. Which makes me wonder if I am better of showing my senior producer why I came in a noon not feeling to well rather than telling her? Oh and ‘$7 an hour — and unlimited junk food.’ Hmmm…I could at least go for the junk food.

The MU Alumni Association has put together a really nifty social networking site called MizzouNet. The site, very similar to facebook, allows you to network with current students and alumni. If you are an MU alum or student click here to sign up and be my friend. Granted we will have to prove that we are over 18 to use the service (see previous post).
