Blogging Star Award


The Blogging Star award was created just this week, by a blogger I have mentioned a short time ago, Skittles. I checked out her blog, Skittles Place after she left a comment here. Skittles keeps an upbeat attitude in spite of the struggles she has faced in life. She celebrated her first anniversary as a blogger last week and a few days before that she celebrated post number 2000. I'm a few posts away from 300.

Anyway the award got around and I was awarded it by Mel Kaye. Mr. Monday Morning Power himself. He asked those who were awarded this honor to spread the love and award this to those whose blogs have touched us in a special way....So...In no special order...

The first blogging star goes to Cleveland Classic Media. Tim does a great job in turning a hobby of his into a great source of information for us Cleveland radio and tv fans.

Next blogging star goes to Ohio Media Watch, our eyes and ears that catches what's happening for those of us that want to know about our favorite media outlets in Ohio.

Now I award this one to Media Matters. Struke uses this blog as a teaching tool for his students.

Northeast Ohio Radio Report gets this one for two reasons: First they show a lot of guts not censoring their comments, and second, they have a link to this blog there.

Once again keeping it local University of Akron Zips blog gets a nod as I have some of those alumni who read this page.

Now leaving the area to award these: First star goes to Pilgrim's Scrawl. Show this off to Virtue, but not during House. Oh, and he lives in New Brunswick.

Being Steve is next on my list, even though he is a Steeler's fan. Just do me a favor. Do something so we can make comments on your blog.

Liquid was awarded the Blogging Star on the same post as I, but because it was either ladies before gentlemen, but more than likely he was awarding the blogs in alphabetical order. Anyway, Liquid, make room in your trophy case for this one. I award my last blogging star to Liquid Illuzion, a blog becoming more and more popular in the Buckeye State.

Now I ask of you the same thing that was asked of me, Spread the Love and award the blogs that impact you the most.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...

Big Chuck! a review

Update 01/12/09 : Click here to read a related article on Ohio Media Watch, along with a review of the book. Cliff Note: It's the second article in the OMW post. I spent a good portion of my Friday nights while I was going through my preteen and teenage years watching a television show called "The Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show." In high school, I was on the wrestling and football teams. One of my teammates was a quiet young man named Mike Schodowski. His father is Charles Schodowski, also known as Big Chuck. The book I'm about to review chronicles his 47 years as a part of Cleveland television history. The book tells how Chuck come from a family living in the Slavic Village neighborhood in Cleveland, how he went from working in a foundry on Cleveland's east side, to going into Cleveland television, first at KYW, channel 3 to WJW, channel 8, and how he became a Cleveland icon. Chuck started out as a camera man and went into directing. He was a part of the phenomenon...
