When you're at the counter and you hear that beep...

DateTuesday, November 24, 2009 at 10:57AM

Sometimes at the office we'll start discussing how awesome TV used be when we were kids. Lately we've focused a lot on Supermarket Sweep... because it was one of the best shows ever.

Proof:

Always go for the meats and cheeses first.

Anyway, my co-worker Brett recently took a trip to Las Vegas. Prior to his trip, we did some in-depth research on Supermarket Sweep host David Ruprecht and found out he is currently hosting The Price is Right live show at Bally's. In jest, we decided Brett needed to track him down and shake his hand.

Then this picture happened:

Brett actually randomly met David Ruprecht in a bar at Bally's.

How envious are you on a scale of 1-10? It's like a 9.2 isn't it?

Learn to Tweet!

DateTuesday, November 10, 2009 at 2:19PM

Part of our social media efforts at the Lawrence Journal-World include educating the community on how to use (and the uses for) social media.

Wednesday (tomorrow) Ben, Kristen and I are hosting a FREE workshop at the Lawrence Arts Center on Twitter. Short notice, I know. But if you're curious about WTF this Twitter thing is, make sure to attend. Here's the basic info:

Join the World Company and members of the Lawrence Twitter community on Wednesday Nov. 11 at the Lawrence Arts Center for a free beginner’s class on the basics of Twitter. Learn what Twitter is and how to use it with hands-on assistance in setting up an account and making your first “tweets.” See how easy it is to make new friends and become a part of a vibrant and growing local Twitter community.

Register below for your choice of one of two sessions beginning at 8:00 a.m. and 10 a.m.

Each session includes a short presentation introducing you to the basics of Twitter and how people are connecting here in Lawrence, followed by small group break outs with an experienced Twitter guide who will help you to set up an account and get you started following people and finding the news and information that interests you.

Take advantage of this free opportunity to discover how Twitter can help you connect with your local community in a whole new way.

You can sign up on the LJWorld.com page.
