I’ve been looking for opportunities to play with the new slo-mo feature in the new iPhone and this morning I grabbed a few minutes of the homecoming parade of one of our local colleges. Everything looks sort of cool at 120fps.
We call these devices phones (or devices) but I get/make so few calls I really think in terms of camera or computer. Maybe a “communicator” is the more descriptive term. Whatever, they just keep getting better and better.
“He’s a journalist and I’m a politician and if you’re a journalist then you don’t make friends with politicians. You keep your distance because you have to be objective and you have to be willing to ask questions that you know is going to irritate them.”
Apart from the tribute video (and Bob), there was only one speaker at Bob Priddy’s retirement dinner this past Monday. U. S. Senator Claire McCaskill. She was very good.
For those who know Bob and couldn’t be at the event, you can watch it here.
In December (2014) Bob Priddy will retire from his job as news director of The Missourinet. The network’s first and only news director. In this interview Bob talks about how the network began; interesting people and big stories; politics and history. I was privileged to work with Bob for almost 30 years and he’s one of the most talented and interesting people I’ve met. The interview runs just under half an hour. Hardly enough time to reflect on his amazing career.
