shey.net reblog

About

shey.net's been around since 1998, making it one of the longest-running blogs on the web, which isn't really saying much.*

I'm Tim. I design and produce things. Most recently, I co-founded a company called Next New Networks, and we also have a company blog.

You can e-mail me via my first name @ this url, twitter at me, or connect on Facebook.

Got a question? Ask me anything. Want to post something on shey.net? Submit it here.

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

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.)
