As one of the top 10 living underwear journalists in Indiana, I'm always on the lookout for new under-the-radar underwear stories.  And unlike those lazy underwear journalists who've built their careers on reviewing low-tech undies that don't serve a larger social function or are pleasant to wear, I go the extra mile.

There's no pair of underwear I won't test drive.

I wish that my career path would've worked out better.  Say, that I became a traveling journalist who went places and wrote about ...

Apparently I can't follow my own contest schedule.   I'm supposed to post one clue each week, alternating video clues with photo clues.  Last week I posted one of each. Oops. So, to get us back on schedule I'm adding another clue (below). From now on I'll be post a clue each Wednesday.  Here's the schedule.

> Wednesday Nov 11th – Picture Post

The Associated press and staff members of the McCain campaign have called into question facts and quotes in Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" even before the book has hit the shelves.

This doesn't surprise me.   And it's not because I think Sarah Palin is full of moose crap, it's because no one fact-checked my book except me.  Mind you, I did it over and over again until I wanted to rip my eyeballs out.

When David Sedaris wrote about buying a box of condoms in the New Yorker a fact-checker called...

At the finish lineThe first time I visited New York City doesn't really count.   I was help hostage by Nepalese monks somewhere in Brooklyn.

As hostage-takers go, they were okay.  I got four square meals a day and my own room.  But I wasn't able to go anywhere on my own.  If I wanted to go for a walk someone went with me.  If I wanted to see the city, a monk took me to Madame Tousseau's as if that was all there was to be seen.

Monks are supposed to be peaceful, but their torture was particularly sinister.  Hour ...

You never know where in the world Kelsey will turn up or why he is there. He went to Bangladesh because his underwear was made there. He went to Romania to spend the night alone in Dracula's Castle. And no one is sure why he went to Kosovo. He claims it was to PlayStation, but that doesn't make any sense at all, does it?Lucky for you, to win a HD Video Flip camera plus a few Frommer's travel guides all you have to do is guess Kelsey's secret location, not his motives.  Each week you'll be...

JD Schuyler is a young (younger than me) videographer based in Indianapolis.  As a videographer and storyteller, I think he's destined for big things.  Currently one of those big things is Stories From the Border:

…footage of undocumented migrants, healthcare providers, NGO workers, religious members and citizens of marginalized communities…an effort to present the depth and breadth of issues that surround the U.S./Mexico border… documenting the issues that seem almost omnipresent along the...
