In memory of Andrew Olmsted

Posted on January 5, 2008January 5, 2008 by Scott Westerman

I was talking with a co-worker this week about a challenge she’s facing at the office. It’s a big one, an issue that would definitely keep me up at night. She said something that put it in immediate perspective, “If you’ve lost a child, everything else is much less important.”…

You Don't Understand Our Audience

Posted on January 4, 2008January 17, 2022 by Scott Westerman

John Hockenberry hits the nail right on the head in this viscerally enlightening piece for Technology Review. This guy should be working for Rob Curley. Some of the best video journalism these days is coming out of the few newspapers that understand that journalistic content creation is their core competency.…

DIA Free WiFi isn’t worth the price.

Posted on December 11, 2007 by Scott Westerman

Internet access has become a prerequisite. I won’t stay in a hotel that doesn’t have it. And I’m to the point where I would consider avoiding an airport where access is problematic. I recently found myself sitting at gate B50 in Denver, waiting for a United flight to take me…

I want to grow up to be just like him..

Posted on November 3, 2007November 16, 2007 by Scott Westerman

During World War II, he spent his final months in the service in the Philippines… and went back years later to build Habitat for Humanity homes there. Earlier this year he was inspired by Tracy Kidder’s book Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would…

Its about The Brand

Posted on October 21, 2007January 17, 2022 by Scott Westerman

By Scott Westerman Beyond the haircuts, one of the distinctive visuals associated with the Beatles is the logo that adorned Ringo’s Ludwig drum kit. Brian Epstein was an early believer in the holistic approach to rock n roll branding. The hair, the suits, the boots, the guitars, the drums and…

Riding with the T-Hunters – Part 2

Posted on September 3, 2007 by Scott Westerman

I take no credit for coming in “first”. I rode with my neighbor and new friend WB8WFK, proving once again that it’s often better to be lucky than smart. WSW Septmber 2 Hunt Report What a nice hunt today. We had four teams and pretty good weather. The day started…

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on September 2, 2007September 3, 2007 by Scott Westerman

By Scott Westerman It was surreal. Our little Michigan State alumni group was enjoying a rare moment of relaxation. Coach Mark Dantonio’s young Spartan team had taken some solid first steps. Game won 55-18. In our second floor corner of the Fox and Hound here in Albuquerque, we were multi-tasking,…

by Scott Westerman – W9WSW Thanks very much for your warm welcome and I have to say, it’s great to be at a hamfest again. When I was a newly minted Technician in the Detroit area, Summer seemed like one swap after another, beginning with the annual pilgrimage to Dayton…

Just Roll Tape

Posted on August 1, 2007January 17, 2022 by Scott Westerman

By Scott Westerman I admit it. I don’t buy many CDs anymore. With something like 2,000 of em in my collection, I have just about every oldie that ever tickled my eardrums. Rhapsody supplies the rest. My musical era is 1964 to 1975, roughly starting with the British Invasion and…

Curley gets it right – ABQ Journal gets it wrong

Posted on July 16, 2007July 28, 2007 by Scott Westerman

By Scott Westerman Congrats to my favorite Internet nerd, Rob Curley on the launch of LoudonExtra.com, the hyper local subsite of The Washington Post. In this story, the publication explains itself and it’s mission. In many ways, it’s similar to Rob’s other successes with the Lawrence Journal World and the…
