The technology has changed but politics hasn't. In many ways, technology has changed the way we see politics, but in other ways, it's just made politics more political.

Jimmy Fallon had a few hits and many misses in his late-night debut.

His opening monologue was bland. His interview with Robert De Niro was awkward. And one audience-participation bit, "Lick it for $10," was unnecessarily stupid.

I may have been wasting my time with all that polling data -- though I dearly love pouring over the statistics at both fivethirtyeight.com and election.princeton.edu (also written by an Obama supporter btw, tho

Some noteworthy new movies trailers have been released that are worth checking out.

It’s Blitz! by Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs: The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs have always defied easy categorization. In 2003, they released “Fever To Tell,” a wild-eyed and brilliant debut album that led critics to quickly annoint them The Next Great Rock Band.

I rarely go to see animated movies that don't have the name "Pixar" attached to them.

Officials are always whining they can’t raise enough money to balance the city’s budget. In 2009, Sandusky faces a $961,000 deficit. I believe, however, the city could remedy its money problems in just one night.

As a matter of fact, October saw a new record in our page views here at sanduskyregister.com. There are few, if any newspapers our size with more successful websites.

Some people seem to have gotten the impression from my last post that we were definitely NOT going to do anything to change our comment policies. That is not necessarily the case.

6:28 PM Mar 23, 2010

Well, when I asked the question, I knew I was going to hear a lot about the comments. Many of you don't like the vicious posts in our comments -- and neither do I.

The question is, what to do about it.

The difficult part of my job is not finding new ideas, there are loads of them, good ones, all over the place. It's picking what to do next (and, of course, it's not entirely up to me).

Ah, Opening Day.

You could practically smell the hot dogs and grass, if it weren’t so cold you couldn’t feel your face.

As soon as we announced the registration, many of our, ahem, fans predicted our quick demise.

After we announced that we'd be starting to require registration on the site to comment, many in the community immediately accused us of censorship.

o optimists the web represents a quantum leap in the availability and ubiquity of information. The internet is the Great Library of Alexandria, and everyone has a free library card -- it's got almost unlimited knowledge, and access to it isn't limited either.

More than two months ago now, I asked what people would change about this website and touched off a brouhaha about the comments on the stories on this site.

6:28 PM Mar 23, 2010

As part of the work we're doing with comments to make them more rewarding to EVERYONE in the community, we've rewritten our discussion guidelines.

You don't have to get snotty.

READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED, unless you are or have been a parent of a toddler.

This may sound a little gross, which is why I have added the warning above, but as a parent I'm hoping you all can relate.

I am going to make this short to give you enough time from what you expected to devote to reading this blog to use that time to register as a commenter in the area just below this blog.

It is a truism that people overestimate what can happen in two years and underestimate what can happen in five. When you think about the web, it's really remarkable what's happened to it in the last five years. Facebook was a month old in March of 2004.

No really, she married a guy with the last name Earl. The NBC show is one of the shows that grace our DVR every Thursday night.
