Newsweek has posted before & after photos of the Albuquerque Microsoft team. The old photo was probably taken in that dank little photo studio on Carlisle (I think it's now closed). The new photo was snapped on the eve of Bill Gates' de… Continue

There's a fantastic little profile of Stewart, Tom and Mark Udall on today's New York Times blog. Electoral Enchantment Timothy Egan serves up a lovely reminder of the legacy the Udall fam… Continue

Gawker points us to a new feature on Netflix that allows us to spy on the DVDs our neighbors are renting. In, you know, an aggregated sort of way. I continue to marvel that there's a Netflix d… Continue

Maybe it's just me, but it's seeming lately like the number of local TV news stories based on Duke City Fix posts or comments is on the rise. Back in the day, local TV had to rely on finding their ne… Continue

I'm loving the South Park death-of-the-internet clip that's been buzzing around online since Thursday maybe just a little too much. Especially the part about local network news. But that would never happen in Albuquerque, right? Local media… Continue

I loved this license plate frame, snapped yesterday outside of Kinko's, more than I can possibly say. It's not in any way clever or anything, I just imagine an entire middle school populated by tarted up women of… Continue

Imagine my amazement when I found out that a full 40% of the visitors to this humble cityblog come from outside of New Mexico. Now I know that some of you used to live here. And I know that some of you are contemplating a move. But as for the rest of you... all I can figure is t… Continue

I haven't really written about them before because, to be perfectly honest, I've never seen them perform. But I have such an intense brain-and-otherwise crush on all three of the q-Staff theatre members that I have to mention that they have a show starting this weekend. Expect to se… Continue

I know, I know. I begged us to change the subject. But the latest news on the whole Golden West/El Rey/Launchpad thing is just too good. The fantastic (I loved her at the Lobo, I love her even more now) Marisa Demarco has written a damning piece in this week's Alibi (it's not online till tomorrow morning, so pick up a real copy and turn to page 46) on Kathy Zimmer and the Golden West mess. In the story, Marisa gets a half-answer from Zimmer about our favorite flashpoint -- the insurance issue.… Continue

I'm tired and a little bit cranky and it's like that moment in a new relationship (that's maybe really only going to end up being an extended hookup) when you realize that besides talking about how great the sex is all you seem to have in common are details from the past two weeks. And even then all of those details involve being in bed. Or on the kitchen table or something. Enough! I need some sort of non-Golden West substance or this can't continue! I'm more than just a great rack! I have a b… Continue

For some reason I seem to be eating out for lunch again. I had a nice run of at-home middday meals going there (pleasant for me, pleasant for my pets). But now it's back out into the white tablecloth world of ABQ lunchtime dining. Here's where I've been going (and where I'd gladly re…

Could this be a sign of the times in Albuquerque?* Lovely, funky Martha's Body Bueno is making way - lock, some stock, etc - for an ENob branch of tony, pricy, sexy downtown shop Seventh Goddess (thanks to the NMBW…

Tribune to close: Saturday's edition will mark the end of 86-year-old newspaper

It's become a fixture of Superbowl Sunday around the country. And it was developed and is run by an Albuquerque advertising agency:

Ad Bowl

Get in there and play, people!

That's right. Both the Albuquerque Tribune and the New Mexico Business Weekly are reporting that the flirtation between Doug Turner and Tom Carroll on one side and E.W. Scripps on the other is off.

Nobody's saying -- still -- when the Trib will cease…

11:45pm: Those of you who tucked in early tonight missed it -- unbelievable blizzard conditions starting at around 11:30pm. I was downtown (am now safe at home) and literally as I walked to my car with friends one said, "I…
