The publisher for Automotive News sends an email

This went out to everyone in the Automotive News group, from the head honcho on down.

A fantastic start to the year for the Automotive News Group.
Our reporters and editors did an astonishing job of being everywhere at the Detroit auto show, talking to everybody and getting everything online and in print.
And — tah-DAH! — we’re now truly multimedia. The videos of our budding TV stars interviewing designers and showing off their favorite cars were terrific. Kudos to Scott Kennedy for being our first-ever producer, cameraman, and editor. These video vignettes were great. If you haven’t seen them, please take a few minutes. You’ll hardly believe these are ink-stained wretches in front of the camera. (Note Alysha talking to the Chinese automotive executive.) New stars are born.
This is a technology and a medium that we can master.

Have I mentioned that it is almost certain I’ll be going to Las Vegas in the beginning of February (to video their dealer conference), and that it looks like they’re planning on having me go to Geneva, New York, L.A., and Shanghai?

*boggle*

Geneva’s still well over a month away, but man. I’ll finally have stamped that passport I optimistically bought a decade ago. (Hey, at least it was empty when I lost it in D.C.!)

The icon really does say it all.

  4. Congrats. :)

    If you really did get it a decade ago, remember that they expire every 10 years… You’ll need to hurry to get a new one.

  8. Generally, you never get your passport stamped anymore. I’ve been to like 15 countries, and mine’s never been stamped.

    • Hmmm, perhaps I will have to ask for it.

      • Huh. Mine was stamped when I want to Hong Kong and Japan back in the day. I remember being irritated that they didn’t stamp them in order, so that you could easily discern what order in and out were done in.

        You might consider accidentally dropping a hammer on your passport if you get one of those with the RFID chip.
