Reason #29 To Love Google Alerts


Sometimes it's like getting a letter from a friend buried in a pile of junk mail. These two showed up yesterday.

The Francis Blog takes on our Sexy Singles issue: "I was looking through the latest edition of Cleveland Magazine ... which is profiles of some of Cleveland’s most famous (and sexiest!) singles. I only got two in and realized that I could write a fairly epic blog about them so I decided to cap it there." Honestly, it is pretty epic.

And then I got an alert on LAZ, Lazaro Gamio, a student at CIA. His Cosmonaut Kid sketches — and the finished book spread — are really cool. The character (at left) reminds me of something my kids watch, but I can't put my finger on it. At first I thought it was the main character from Disney's Atlantis, but that's not it. I can't wait to see what his little truck sketches turn into -- or what gem my next Google Alert brings.

Cleveland's stalled comeback

Ed Morrison takes a close look at why Cleveland's comeback, 30 years in the making, has stalled. It's easiest to read here, but it was initially posted on the new Web site DefendCleveland.net.

The site hopes to become an online think tank of sorts — a place to discuss new ideas on how to reinvent our city. It says it hopes to step outside the echo chamber of ideas that has kept us where we're at for so long. In concept it sounds great. hopefully they can keep it up.
