About

Shey.net is the personal weblog of Timothy Shey, sharing art and Internet culture since 1998.

I'm a designer, producer and startup founder based in New York, and currently work as director of the YouTube Next Lab.

Some of the popular web series and networks I've had a hand in helping include ThreadBanger, Indy Mogul, Barely Political (and the Obama Girl videos), Auto-Tune the News, The Key of Awesome, $99 Music Videos, Epic Fu, Channel Frederator, and Fast Lane Daily.

Got a question? Ask me anything.

Other places: twitter | facebook

* I'm working on getting the '98-'03 archives back up, and '04-'07 is here.

November 17, 2007

Possible origin / first use of the “Old Gray Lady” nickname for the New York Times. From Tuesday, September 18, 1951, Officials and Leaders in Many Fields Greet The New York Times on 100th Anniversary, which printed a congratulation from Benjamin H. Namm, who a Google search tells us was owner of the A.I. Namm & Son department store in Brooklyn, its building still a landmark on Fulton Street:

Heartiest congratulations upon the 100th anniversary of THE NEW YORK TIMES. May the old gray lady never die and its presses keep rolling along.

(expanded from some info found on Mullings.)
