CNNMoney Tech Tumblr: How not to pitch a reporter (or, The Art of Being a Jackass) I have a personal website, on which I list both my CNNMoney email address and my personal address. I try to make it clear that CNN pitches should be addressed to, you know, my CNN address only.

CNNMoney Tech Tumblr: A rogue smiley face in WSJ Today I’m working on a quick piece about techy things that help in times of high gas prices (a.k.a. right now). I clicked around to see what’s been written in the past, and I came across a nice post from the Wall Street Journal.

It’s take your kids to work day at Google
A report from the inside says there is no kangaroo this year. (Yes, last year there were kangaroos. Two of them.) But this exchange made me giggle, relayed via IM from the scene:
