Yesterday, Newsvine CEO Mike Davidson was quoted on TechFlash as saying newspapers don't have a future: "And there isn't even a present, unfortunately." Which is not to say that the digital platform is all pixels and rainbows. While the Seattlepi.com is busy reinventing itself, the Post-Globe posse might take a cue from our sister site Torontoist, who have been reinstalling themselves since last December, when they almost went dark: Three investors are now backing the costs of Torontoist's local operations--as Canadians, they're more evolved than we are--though the site will remain affiliated with the Gothamist network.

We like to think of sports as a microcosm of society. And our society loves its freedom. (In fact, we are about to get real free with a bottle of something within the hour.) Said freedom has its limitations, though. For instance, you can't choose who roots for your team. Anyone with half a brain is welcome to hitch up to your favorite team whenever they want. But this realization doesn't mean we aren't really, really troubled by the wrong-headed Seahawks fan who thought it was a good idea to stir up a rivalry with the New York Giants (who the 'Hawks play next week) by posting 9/11 jokes and photos on a Seahawks blog. Our apologies to our brothers and sisters over at Gothamist. Next time you are in the area, coffee is on us. Deadspin has the gory details. (Consider yourself warned.)

    This weekend offers a bevy of live music options. Tonight take your parents to see the Kingston Trio at the Moore, or leave mom and dad at home and head to the Comet to see the guaranteed awesome live performance of Monotonix. Sometimes the Tel Aviv punk trio lights the drum kit on fire, sometimes they play their instruments as the crowd lifts them into the air.
