Uh, why would I pay to read the Comical when I can watch Brock Keeling do it on the interwebs for free?

Online news is great. Too bad it's the Chronicle and not a real newspaper.

I think they should release a version of the Chron that I can watch on my Philips CD-i player.

This post is a good occasion to rewatch this YouTube gem, that 1981 news story about... um... the Chronicle's e-edition...

When is Brock going to introduce the P-SFist (or Pissfest)? It's a paper version of SFist that's printed on triangular sheets of newsprint and available only from Kragen Autoparts stores or just inside the door of the Chestnut Street library (only on alternate Wednesdays). You could price it at 67c.

This has cocaine pricing written all over it.

I try to support the Chronicle, still paying for a paper subscription and all even though I read it online. While I love reading Carl Nolte, City Insider, Mattier & Ross, and Chuck Nevius stories most of the time, I'm bat shit pissed at this Robert Selna guy and his irresponsible reporting on One RIncon Hill's development fees that had everybody thinking on Sunday that not a single penny had been paid to the City ... when in fact $16.6 million has been paid thus far. The ERA OF IRRESPONSIBLITY lives on at the Chronicle as this Selna guy didn't have the humility to print out the amounts that had been paid, but instead puts up a bullshit headline "Builder changes tune" With ass hats like that and editors allowing ass hats like that to do irresponsible reporting, I say die bastard die.

But you can already search the full archive here or by using the search bar at the top of the www.sfgate.com page.

Reading newspaper sized pdfs on a computer screen is somewhat unwieldy.

30 day archive? Not exactly an upgrade.
