  • Reliability and permanence, or, why legals still have a place in newsprint

    Keith McLendon|Jan 30, 2013

    The other day someone on the radio said legals in the paper were no longer necessary. He argued legal notices could be “printed” for free on the internet and that no one noticed them in the newspaper anyway. I can’t prove he said that, I have no written transcript of what the gentleman actually said. I was even told these comments were edited for the later-in-the-day broadcast.

  • Surfing wipeouts and other internet mishaps

    Keith McLendon|Jan 16, 2013

    In celebration of our new website and its attractive new functionality and cool new features at the old site name (saratogasun.com – look at me towing the company line!). I thought I might delve into some fun tidbits about the web that I browsed across. Did I mention that we have a NEW website? We all know the main use of the internet (at least arguably) and GoOgle will get you there, but there are other handy uses for the web too. THE OTHER STUFF: Have you heard about this e-mail thing?

She also notes that the measure has... Full story

  • Are you still here?

    Keith McLendon|Dec 26, 2012

    Well, the world is still here. This development has caught me off guard and I had prepared nothing new in the way of “entertainment” for you to read. Fortunately for me this world- continuing thing has fallen squarely during the “week between Christmas” and it has been tradition for the two previous years now that I print my sad attempt at poetry. I think this year though I will try to break down or give some rationale to the events chronicled in this poem. The first part is, to me, pretty on th...

  • It’s the end of the world as we know it ... and I feel fine

    Keith McLendon|Dec 12, 2012

    Apocalypses have been predicted pretty much since there have been civilizations to cower in fear of them. Since one of the “biggies” is just around the corner I thought this week timely to explore some earlier world-shattering (or not) prophesies.1 Rome’s End. The Romans thought the world would end in 634 B.C. because supernatural eagles told Romulus, Rome’s founder, his civilization would only last 120 years. Romans panicked as the city neared the eventually uneventful anniversary. Really.... Full story
