The Washington City Paper's Angela Valdez provides a two-pronged update today to the monstrosity that could be the Late Night Shots reality TV show we told you about earlier this month. In a piece over at Campus Progress, she interviews Havva Eisenbaum, the producer of the pilot, who says that they've already had "nibbles of interest from networks" who might end up picking it up once the pilot is completed. Considering how many reality TV......

Facebook isn't just for ridiculous photos of politicians' kids anymore. Now university presidents are getting into the act. We'd usually say that a college administrator having a profile on Facebook, the big social networking site that started with colleges but has since spread everywhere, sounds pretty neat — the administration is trying to be transparent and stay in touch with the students' internet fads. We can imagine a lot of good uses for the site......

While SFist cringed at the fatal dose of crime littering the Bay Area, it found solace in Hillary Clinton's San Francisco campaign headquarters opening, which featured loads of exposed mammary glands. In other news, SF Taxi Commission ruled that Satan's cab must keep its (in)famous medallion number, 666; and in an un-fashion-forward frenzy, San Francisco Fashion Week (chortle) bars bloggers from covering and getting smashed at their shows and parties, respectively. Also, they found a......

[Fishbowl DC] >> A woman was struck by a Green line train on Sunday night at the Suitland station, after falling onto the tracks. Amazingly enough,......

This weekend's weather hinted at what is yet to come in the Washington region in the months ahead -- heat and humidity. And given that this Wednesday marks the official start of summer, the change in weather has come right on time. Look for high temperatures and afternoon thunderstorms through Sunday. Laptop with District Employee Info Stolen: Note to self -- don't take laptop from work home, especially if it has sensitive information about city......

Rusty, it was your wingman post. A DCist reader led us to this post over at why.i.hate.dc, where the site's author discusses the local blog D.C. Late Night Shots and wonders why he's been picking up traffic from the "closed social network," most of which is, as you might guess, inaccessible to those who haven't been invited. DCist, however, was able to dig up one of the highly exclusive invites (note: we're not the first......

Good morning, Washington. To those of you who celebrate the holiday, we hope you're having a pleasant Passover, and that last night's second Seder was, uh, salubrious. Okay, we'll stop now. Students Vote For Laxer Pot Penalties: The Post reports on yesterday's U-Md. student election results, which included a large victory for a resolution in favor of making penalties for alcohol and marijuana violations equivalent. The ballot measure was intended to send a message to......

We've spent time talking about how great it would be if D.C. was a little more free WiFi-friendly than it is -- and thankfully, it soon may be. The Post is reporting this morning that D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams has asked companies to start bidding on a contract to build a free wireless internet network that would cover the majority of the city, including often underserved poorer neighborhoods. The network could become operational in......
