Daily Dose of Dust
Jozef Imrich, name worthy of Kafka, has his finger on the pulse of any irony of interest and shares his findings to keep you in-the-know with the savviest trend setters and infomaniacs.
''I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.''

Brits vs. Yanks: Who does journalism right?
I think a sense of passion and immediacy is missing from some of [investigative] reporting these days; the kind of maverick, skeptical intensity brought to journalism by reporters such as The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh, for example. I also sense that there are not enough people like that in daily journalism today: reporters who dig, and dig fast, and whom authorities know, for sure, will challenge them or their accounts.
