A slightly delayed Alaska 2634 from San Francisco to Portland, few hours in Portland for a cousin’s graduation party, and then US Airways 95 down to Phoenix to see Michelle and her family for the week.

Superb 80 minute run this morning, up from the Westin on Market to 16th and Irving, and then through Golden Gate Park with Lisa Curtis (whom I haven’t seen for over a year). Best thing about long runs? Knowing you can eat whatever you want for the rest of the day.

Flying Alaska 224 down to San Francisco for a VIP/media services team meetup in Sonoma and WordCamp San Francisco at the end of the week. One of these days I’ll be able to fly myself…
Time to ski Tahoe
Flying to San Francisco this evening to meet up with Miles and ski Tahoe for the first time. I have my Black Diamond Kilowatts with me. Depending on the snow quality, I may ski them one day and demo a new pair of alpine boots the next. No more nerve damage on the big toes for me.
Ski or die man!
Wikis to (re)build the news
It seems to be all of the rage these days (the first one I came across was created by Andrew Dunn).
Alexis Madrigal and Sarah Rich have started a wiki to design the next San Francisco Post-Chronicle, after hearing news that the Hearst Company could be shutting down the newspaper within weeks. With a potentially serious gap opening in Bay Area news production, they’ve begun brainstorming ways in which to bring the newspaper up to speed with the 21st century. The planning is broken into three arenas, two of which I have time to cover before my own flight to SF:
Distribution Model
Let’s go digital. It’s all about the internet, especially in early adopter central (i.e. San Francisco). Reporting should be web first, and the print edition could be cut to once a week. Publish a news magazine-style edition on Fridays and make it a compilation of the best content from all around town. I’d bet there’s a number of blogs that would like to see print readers for a cut of the revenue.
