Now those of you who know me know that I'm a news junkie. I awake every morning to FoxNews on my office television and I throw one of the other 24 hour cable stations or Bloomberg on the TV in the living room so I don't lose "background input" while I walk around the house. I then usually sit down and hit the big news websites, read a few key blogs and try to get an overall picture of what's going on in the world.

I do read newspapers, but I typically don’t start the day with one, I usually hit the major newspaper websites and check to see what their big stories of the day are, I’ll then make a decision which one to pick up that day or sometimes, I just stick with the local. I’m hoping that one day soon, the print news media can make the big leap and come up with an effective format to deliver their product in some sort of ePaper form that makes sense and is easy to navigate. Of course they are dragging their feet in this and I can’t really fathom why, unless its some concession to their advertisers or a fear that their product will then be viewed as just another blog. Who knows.

So what is it today that perked my interest----
