shey.net reblog

About

shey.net has been around since 1998, making it one of the longest-running blogs on the web.*

I'm Tim. I design and produce things. Most recently, I co-founded Next New Networks, one of the leading companies making entertainment programming for the web.

Some of the popular web series and networks I've had a hand in producing, creating, or growing include ThreadBanger, Indy Mogul, Barely Political (and the Obama Girl videos), Channel Frederator, Fast Lane Daily, Auto-Tune the News, The Key of Awesome, $99 Music Videos, Epic Fu, TPMtv, Afterworld, and Rocketboom. Before that, I did lots of work with HBO, ABC, FOX, Discovery Channel, NBC, FOX Latin America, and companies like AT&T, Motorola, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Newsweek/The Washington Post at my D.C.-based design company, Proteus.

Got a question? Ask me anything.

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.)
