Color blind? That map that showed Bush ahead in electoral votes last week, now shows Kerry ahead.

Big-Housekeeping: I’m a little nostalgic today. It was on June 13, 2002, when I made my first rexblog post about the Martha Stewart investigation. Coincidentally, I had just purchased a copy of Photoshop Elements and was trying to understand the basics. That’s where that “Martha in Orange” illustration came from. I never imagined Martha Stewart would become one of the most discussed topics on this weblog. And I never imagined she’d one day actually be sitting on a prison cot as pictured in my goofy photoshopped picture. So it goes.

Quote from original Martha post on the rexblog:

Shares of Martha Stewart Omnimedia got hammered yesterday when it was learned she perhaps engaged in a little insider trading. Knowing her, she’s already planning a book and TV segment on how to decorate a jail cell.

Some OK PR: IDG’s CXO Media says CIO magazine is read by more CIOs, according to CIMS.

Quote:

“In the study, CIO magazine ranks number one…against CIO/CTO/vice president of MIS, IS, IT level titles in organizations with greater than 100 employees.”

Reaction time: Just got back on the ground and have a full in-box…and my newsreader is not newsreading. Hmmm. Anyway, here are some things I missed by being in a plane this morning:

Mediapost’s Michael Shield has some advice for magazines, “Magazines have to be able to print faster, and to accept ads later, or they will keep missing out.”

Grand, a magazine for baby boomer grandparents, has launched, thus removing it from vaporzine status.

Here’s something I found out by being on a plane this morning and listening to some podcasts (I think this item was from Tim Germer). Google has launched a test of an SMS service that sounds great.
