Phuket News - Where to find it...
I try to keep up and post some of the latest Phuket news stories on my Phuket News page, along with some not-to-be-forgotten old news stories. There's not normally any "big" news in Phuket, but if you want to get a feel for what goes on, it's worth checking the news before you travel, and not just the weather forecast ! There are a number of local newspapers and magazines in Phuket, mostly they are just dressed up advertising, especially with regards to restaurant "reviews" and property news. If you want [...]

Another Blog
Ever noticed how large the Foodie blogosphere is? Ever wonder how on earth to keep up with it all? I'm hoping Foodie News will help bridge the gap, at least with news as it pertains to the food blogging community. If you have news and would like everyone else to read about it, or if you're just the type that has to know all that is going on, check out Foodie News !
Who Decides What Is News?
In yesterday’s New York Times, David Carr wrote an excellent piece entitled All of Us, Arbiters of News, in which he perfectly articulates the dramatic way in which the web is fundamentally transforming news and journalism. The story of the web obliterating the old, traditional economic model behind news has been often-told, but what is [...]
Good News, Bad News
Good news: All my blood work came back normal (long story, not important). Bad news: The doctor could have told me that over the phone instead of making me pay for an office visit and miss two hours of work. Good news: I have inherited my son’s beautiful 42” Samsung HDTV until they get settled in back here in Beaumont. Then, I’ll finally be forced to buy my own new television, because my family has vowed to destroy my 20 year-old 26-inch console Zenith which has been my faithful companion lo these [...]
Hello? Hellooooo?
Hi there. You may be looking in your feed reader every day and thinking "Another no-news-'bout-FeedBurner day." You may be starting to think, "Are they still in there?

First, the good news. We are totally still here, burning the feeds, writing the checks (that's some sweet cursive Giuliana's wielding ), and analyzing the [...]
Pitching Fits: Why News Releases Might Die
If the news release is dying, it’s because public relations is killing it. The vast majority of news releases being sent out today are nothing more than mass blast marketing-laced one sheets that attempt to decorate non-news as news, much in the same way someone might put silly hats and rubber noses on grumpy salespeople and call them the life of the party. It doesn’t really work. If anything, silly hats and rubber noses might just make them grumpier. At least that seems to be the underlying consensus [...]
Breaking News - OCB Wants to Close 127 Ryans
This news came to light this week through Reuters News Agency and Forbes. Our source of this information is those two news agencies and I credit them for the facts presented. A Fortress Investment Group affiliate has offered to take over 127 restaurants from Buffets, Inc., the owners of Old Country Buffets and the Ryans chain. As we have reported earlier this year, Buffets, Inc. is in [...]
