About Gary Johnson’s “Aleppo Gaffe”… – @mwender on Medium

I wrote another post on Medium today. This time my topic is politics, specifically Gary Johnson’s gaffe about Aleppo yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve ever published on the subject.

What happened when a college newspaper abandoned its website for Medium and Twitter » Nieman Journalism Lab

I always love a good story about how new technologies allow for disrupting the traditional ways of doing things. Such is the case with the student newspaper at Mt. San Antonio College in California.

Why can’t we read anymore? – Hugh McGuire on Medium

I read Hugh McGuire’s post Why can’t we read anymore? yesterday, and last night I was inspired to not watch TV, avoid the Internet, and read a good book before bed. I dare you to click over, start reading, and see if you don’t feel compelled to at least finish his post before moving on to something else. Then, if you find Hugh’s words inspiring, convicting, or something else, I’d love to hear back from you.

BTW: I get the fact that me posting a link to Hugh’s piece on my *tumblog* has an irony to it.
