I just want to follow up on something that Ehver Green said in the caucus results thread. He said:
I want to emphatically say YES! This is EXACTLY what it should be about. The caucus results thread was a perfect example of CJ in action. And I think we can do lots, lots more. I would love to see this kind of collective reporting about every important event in our community. We all have the stuff to do it (e.g., digital cameras, computers, video cameras, flickr accounts, etc.). Don't be a passive news consumer any more. Go out and find the answers to your questions and then share them with others. Discuss what you find, and you'll know more than any network or newspaper can tell you. As a zen master might say: "Be the news."

Is this a bad time to point out
Submitted by security_six on Sun, 02/10/2008 - 5:16pm.I waited until this morning to read about it in The Olympian? :-)
I guess I'll have to find a good news story or event to post here now to make up :-)
Rick, I'm largely funning you. It's cool to see multiple media sources in a town like this one. I read 'em all, but only contribute to this one and The Olympian...
One loves to posess arms, though they hope to never have occassion for them.
