Seriously, do you think we could be looking at these ‘over’ ads … Read more

OK – could this take local TV out of the picture

So, I’m not sure if I have shared my love for the Tom Green Show yet. And this is not the old MTV Tom Green or the Jay Leno thing – but the internet show…or as Tom calls it the “Nation Web-o-vision” show. He is doing some really innovative stuff – right from his living … Read more

You can't get there from here – Why mainstream media is way up a creek…

Jason K sent me this link the other day – “You can’t get there from here – Why mainstream media is way up a creek…” Jason was asking if I thought he should share it with the newsroom – thinking it may freak them out or whatever…and my first reaction was “send it to them”, … Read more

Now this is innovation

As we hear more about IPTV we see new and exciting things popping up on the internet. My current favorite is Tom Green – this is the “new” Tom Green, not the guy that used to scare me on MTV. This is very cool, and in my opinion, very innovative. Tom is doing this from … Read more

When I started this blog – it was on an intranet at my IT job at The Gazette. It was focused on issues pertinent to the things going on in a newspaper IT department.  Soon, I wanted to go bigger and make it live on tomaltman.com.  I bought the domain in 2004 – but it was not until November of 2007 that it was used for this site and I started to blog more regularly.

Since then – I have worked at many different companies and seen a lot of different things. But those stories are all weaved into the content here. I hope you enjoy it – if you have questions, please use the contact form. Enjoy.
