The Daily Rag

Steven Heller wrote in today's Daily Heller about the redesign of the International Herald Tribune, and asked, "Who among you read printed newspapers or has the online experience became your method of getting the news?"

My response: There's nothing like the paper and coffee in the morning.

As someone who prides himself on trying to "go green," I find my greatest difficulty is in letting go of print. I just can't do it. Try as I might to read books on my iTouch, I still have a home library that seems to spread like glitter on a two-year-old.

Likewise, I must read The Oregonian in the morning in its printed form. OregonLive (the corresponding website) has never come close to providing the same experience (or readability, or layout, or organization, or simplicity of design, etc.) as the daily rag.

Call me a tree-killer, but I can't go without print.
