Jason Leopold has written News Junkie a book that not only every single journalist, of every kind, should read but it should be read by every person who wants to find out how the world really works. While Leopold was a boozer and a user he was also a journalist for such prestigious places as the Los Angeles division of Dow Jones Newswires. Before getting that big and very important job he was a cocaine addict who stole thousands of CDs from a record label while working there. But after kicking drugs...

when I looked at the home page just now, i saw the rounded box where the latest interview always appears, often with a tasteful and apt image. but just now i thought the current graphic was extremely lacking, ran out of ideas, eh SG? it looked like distressed or oddly billowing text.

but then i saw "NEWS JUNKIE"....and then saw that those were two lines of something a junkie would like. IT WAS THAT MOMENT WHEN GREAT GRAPHIC DESIGN SHONE THROUGH. i was going to post something like "wow, smart graphic that completely drew me into starting the interview and clicking through to the "buy" link."

to find out it is by local hero DD...even sweeter.

nice work!
