Tim Russert has died. But all around the Internet I’m seeing loving, sad and poignant tributes to him. So to his family and friends who are mourning him today, please know that the Internet mourns with you. We’ve lost a great champion of fair reporting and commentary.
The Internet and America will miss you, Tim Russert. We truly will. Thank you for everything.
I just finished participating in This Week in Media #95 hosted by Daisy Whitney. The panel was Daisy, Liana Lahua, iJustine, Dr. Kiki (a favourite around our science-y household) and me.
Let me tell you… I felt like the proverbial bull in a china shop. (I was going to say cow in a china shop, as bulls are males and this was the “All Grrl Show”, but it just doesn’t sound right. But I digress.) If you know me personally, you know I’m a big dykey girl. I have to say, I was — right or wrong, and yes I know this is my self-image issues talking — totally feeling out of place; they’re all just lovely, petite and vivacious women. But they were all incredibly welcoming and I had a ‘get over yourself’ moment with myself and got on with the business at hand. Thanks, ladies. :)
In other news, the reason I’m here is WWDC. More on that, and some video and pics, soon.
