New NBC 29 Website

NBC 29 appears to have launched a new version of their website. If any improvements accompany this update, I can’t detect them. They should win some kind of an award for their HTML’s 255 validation errors, which is the the most staggeringly bad code that I have encountered in thirteen years of website development. The video is Windows Media, the URLs are lousy, the search engine doesn’t particularly work and, bafflingly, there’s still no RSS feed. Party like it’s 1999!

If I ran a local media outlet, I’d just license Ellington and be done with it.

Student Slain, Suspect Dead

UVa graduate student Elizabeth Hafter has been missing since Friday, and a body fitting her description has turned up at Humpback Rocks. And a 37-year-old Georgia man has been shot dead by Florida police shortly after driving Hafter’s car off the road, concluding a multi-state killing spree as he fled from Georgia to Virginia and then south to Florida. Media General News Service presents the story as it’s known now, though presumably there’s much still to emerge.
