Commenters now must register on Ozarks Unbound | From the Publisher’s Laptop

For months I’ve been contemplating this change. I decided tonight to require readers to register before commenting. I asked myself – Did I want to leave commenting on Ozarks Unbound fully open to anyone anonymously commenting or require at least a name and website and possibly an e-mail,...

Unlicensed Opinion: A collaboration and conversation with Ozarks At Large |From the Publisher’s Laptop

You probably already know Kyle Kellams, if not by sight, than certainly by sound. He’s the voice and guiding influence of Ozarks At Large, a local news program that airs on KUAF 91.3.

Four month folly | From the Publisher’s Laptop

Nine Week Evaluation | From the Publisher’s Laptop

Anxiety always struck me nine weeks into a semester during junior high. It was performance evaluation time. A letter would arrive in the mail from the school if you were doing poorly in class, outlining for your parents your lackluster performance. No letter was sent if you were doing well in class.

Seventh Week Sneak | From the Publisher’s Laptop

By Christopher Spencer Ozarks Unbound Finally got a few stories written this week. I was able to make it to a discussion of light rail that was very well attended.
