Tyndall Report
Well, it was resolving to the new site. Now it's back to the old site for me. Weird. What do other people see (the old yellow site or the new blue and white and multi-color site?)
The blue and white one--looks good!
Blue and white
Thanks. Yeah, I see the new one with Level1's DNS servers, but Verizon's have mysteriously changed back to the old site (at least for me on Verizon.) Hopefully that will work itself out.
The search is really the thing. It's crazy powerful. Or, at least, it was crazy hard to build.
One formatting issue--on the search page, looks like when the number of stories is three digits (as in [386]) it is throwing off the grid a little bit. I can show a screen shot.
okay, thanks. That's firefox?
Both IE and Firefox on my laptop is where I noticed it, but I'm not having those alignment issues on my other computer.
On all of them it seems to be an issue of whether the checkbox and the bracketed number are on the same line.
It is or isn't depending on how much text or numbers are in the cells--I don't think there's actually anything wrong with the tables.
It's just that you have a lot of info in three fairly tight columns so the cell dimensions change depending on text size, etc.
Lost remote plug: "But now the site’s new iteration is a must see. The new Tyndall Report (RSS), is a video-centric marvel...."
Nice props.
thats great!
why no news hour on PBS network. is there a marketing component that excludes them?

But no doubt time constraints play a role as well. He's only one man, and watching 3 networks is possibly all he can handle.
But you should ask him! Leave a comment on the site, I'm sure he'll answer it. I know we all dismiss the network news pretty much, but he has an interesting position I think.
i quit network news in my adult life. bfr that it was all huntley brinkley (not cronkite). then mac neil lehrer all the way. i dont know the viewing numbers but i always considered it one of the big-boys. fox is a joke and cnn never went for the nightly hour or half hour show w/ the big name anchor. yeah, ill ask him next time i see him. thanks.

he called it a "mistaken insevtment."
he shouldnt drink so early in the morning. but i think its a law that if you want to be a british pundit in america youre required to be (or at least appear) tipsy on any and all broadcasts.
kristoff op-ed Likewise, I approve of many suggestions that sought more television coverage of Darfur. The slacker now is ABC News. The Tyndall Report, which monitors network news coverage, found that ABC’s nightly newscasts included just 11 minutes of coverage of Darfur in all of 2006, compared with the 23 minutes ABC devoted to the false confession to the killing of JonBenet Ramsey. If only a Darfuri would falsely confess to killing JonBenet, maybe ABC would cover genocide …
