It was originally more gateway than ego-trip. Now it's mostly historical. From 2004 to 2013, typing my last name in a browser to get here was a shortcut for students to access my now-defunct University of Tennessee website or, more recently, my Radford University pages for information about courses I was teaching in journalism, web design and related topics.As of May 2013, I've retired from teaching to write, play music and generally be healthier and happier. The writing goes on in several places. Here's a summary:
- JHeroes.com is short for "Newspaper Heroes on the Air," my book-in-progress, a blog and podcast about old-time radio's portrayals of newspaper editors, reporters and other journalists -- often heroic, sometimes not.
- Other Journalism, my main blog about journalism, online education and related topics, began elsewhere in ishadow, but migrated to Wordpress after the demise of its original hosting service (see my OJ blog archive).
- At the AEJMC Newspaper Division, I have kept the group's original site for a decade, but added a blog-style AEJMC.us/news version to get more members involved. Summaries from its RSS feed should appear elsewhere on this page, after the "Other Journalism" headlines.
- Boblog is my "for fun" blog (dating back to November 2001), and it is where I write about music, including a growing number of instruments in the ukulele family. The page's widgets echo a few of my shadowsock如何使用 and Twitter (@bobstep) posts in the margin, more new technologies that I encourage students to try.
I previously taught at Emerson College in Boston and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, after getting two master's degrees at Wesleyan University and a doctorate at UNC Chapel Hill. At Radford, I became an assistant professor in fall 2007 as the university began a new RU School of Communication. I enjoyed it, mostly, but couldn't juggle the teaching load and my research the way younger faculty do.
Newspaper Heroes on the Air (jheroes.com) was my main research project for the past few years, and I'm still having a great time working on it. Stop in and listen to some old radio shows streaming from the page. You may find them even more fun than my musings on the relationship between fictional and real-life journalism.

Rather than redesign this whole (mostly archival) site, which used to have a two-column layout, I've shifted everything into a series of boxes that should display acceptably on mobile devices as well as large monitors.
The former right-column: RSS Feed Boxes | Links & Resources
This page demonstrates a lot of Web features that students learn about in my classes, including use of style sheets to position
columns of type,
images, media players and boxes full of headline feeds. This first box is mostly about the page itself
and its modest author. It has links to other sites I've built and things I've
written over the years.
The next stack of boxes (or right column, in one version of this page layout, which I change from time to time in class demonstrations and coding experiments) has a couple of feed-readers from my blogs, then several blocks of links to Web sites I use and recommend, including one that allows you to play my favorite old newspaper movies. (If you would rather just watch a movie than read any more, click the picture of Walter Burns and Hildy Johnson from the "'Dark Ages' of the newspaper game...")
I was an early fan of the One Laptop Per Child project and volunteered some wiki contributions documenting features of its little XO computer, which runs Linux software and a unique operating system called Sugar. Some of this page was created using the XO as a Linux terminal, to raise my sensitivity to small-screens, low budgets, and non-Microsoft products. (In fact, I don't always have a chance to test the latest version of this page with the latest version of Microsoft Windows Explorer. Let me know if you have problems with it.)
In August 2007 I added the Scottish tartan background to celebrate moving to the "home of the Highlanders" -- Radford University in Radford, Va. I joined the Media Studies Department, which merged into our new School of Communication a year later.
"Bob" (or "Robby") is short for Robert Bruce, and my becoming a "Highlander" might have some Glasgow ancestors smiling. Some even had the same name as a county next to Radford, my inspiration for using using one of the "Montgomery" clan tartans.
My mother's ancestors were Irish and would at least approve of the color. And my Polish relatives may be amused that the county across the river is named Pulaski. What's that song about "coming home to a place he'd never been before"? (Wrong song and mountains, but I'm getting the same feeling.)
Tools: This page is gradually migrating to up-to-date HTML5 and CSS, although there are still signs that it has been around for more than a decade.
Over the years, along with plain hand-coding of HTML, I have tried popular blogging software and keep demos around, as mentioned above. I used Radio Userland for seven years, but later returned to Blogger and WordPress.
I learned a lot about Drupal by building a Radford School of Communication site, since replaced by the university's decision to switch to a more expensive system called DayCQ5. A provider of free Drupal hosting that I used for classroom demos also has closed. Now the only remaining evidence of my five-year flirtation with Drupal is the page that was also my first try: a 2006 subscriber blog at the Knoxville community site KnoxViews.
Along with teaching news writing and online journalism for three years at UT, my best contribution was as a catalyst, convincing a terrific programmer to master the ishadow toolkit to create TNJN.com.
Before UT, I taught at Emerson College in Boston, where I started blogging. While belatedly finishing my dissertation, I joined the blogging group at Harvard's Berkman Center. Its blog server started out on Userland's Manila content-manager software before migrating to WordPress.
I've also used free WordPress servers at Blogsome.com and WordPress.com, which I recommend to students these days as a great starting place, along with Blogger.com.
Lots of links: My blogs and the right column of this page have long been ways to share links to interesting sites. My del.icio.us bookmarks do that in an even bigger way, with more than 1,000 links tagged with dozens of keywords for information categories you can combine. For instance, use http://del.icio.us/bstepno/django to see my links related to the site-construction framework by that name, or make that django+Holovaty for links related to a particular Django co-author.

Until the late 1970s I pounded out news stories and college papers on Royal and Olivetti manual typewriters, but then The Hartford Courant put an IBM Selectric on my desk, followed shortly by one of its first Atex editing terminals. Ever since, I have been writing with and about computers, communication technologies, and the changes they have made in our lives. Even my research on media history and popular culture has relied on technology, most recently using blogging software to explore digital archives of newspapers, films and radio programs.
When I left the newspaper for Wesleyan University, my Atex experience inspired me to visit the computer center and learn to use its mainframe to reorganize hundreds of pages of field notes for an anthropology/ethomusicology master's thesis. Next, I bought one of the first microcomputers sold through the university, an Osborne 1, in 1982, finished the thesis, and took Russ Walter's summer computer courses in 1983.
Writing a newsletter for Wesleyan Osborne users and putting Russ's courses on the top of my resume landed me a job with a software company for a few years. Thinking about writing with computers (and how it was different from writing on paper) inspired me to do a 1988 master's essay about hypertext -- well before the Web spread that word around the world. Hanging out with MultiMate's programmers and at the computer center also had me interested in networks -- CompuServe, Prodigy, FidoNet, BiX, and the Wesleyan's connection to Usenet bulletin boards, as well as games like Adventure and Zork.
When a boating magazine made me a better job offer than the computer magazines I'd been freelancing for, I even found an excuse to write about networked boat owners using CompuServe and Usenet. Over the magazine's low-speed modem, I read Tim Berners-Lee's and Marc Andreesen's announcements about the Web and the X-Mosaic browser on the alt.hypertext Usenet newsgroup.
I wrote back, and was invited to beta-test the Windows version of Mosaic, but that would require a university-quality Internet connection, which the magazine didn't have. Ph.D., here I come.
Thanks to that one more trip to grad school, I have been publishing on the Web since 1994 in one form or another, at least trying to keep track of useful resources.
My beat had been "higher education" for most of my newspaper career, and I have been in and out of my own higher education ever since: Three times as a grad student (of culture + computers + communication) and then as a teacher, co-designing my first "Web" course as a teaching assistant in 1995 and teaching my first full course in 1998 at UNC Chapel Hill.
This "7b5dmd.wcbzw.com" domain and home page aren't just an ego trip. During the school year, the link on top takes students to course material at Radford. (Some previous academic creations are archived at shadowdersocks下载 and 7b5dmd.wcbzw.com/ec.) The rest of this page makes a handy parking space for past, present and future projects, personal news, and a box full of links I use myself and recommend to others, as well as a few mild-mannered amusements. As the banner suggests, you can reach me by e-mail as my first name @ my last name.
If you're another Stepno, or looking for one, drop a line. (If you thought the "stepno" address was short for "step number," in either a computer-coding or 12-step sense, you're in the wrong place -- but feel free to look around.)

- My old Other Journalism Weblog was for thoughts, notes and headlines about news reporting, personal and "pro-am" community journalism on the Web, demos of technical tricks, and (less often) photos and news of personal events. The blog's left column has links to essay-style pages that I update from time to time, usually to preserve link that might get lost in the calendar-accessed daily blog entries. Blogging itself can be an "other journalism," hence the name.
- For several years I sorted out my newspaper-related blog items as a subset to link with the website I manage for a journalism educators' group, the shadowdersocks下载. I've also saved my notes from my Digital Archives panel at the AEJMC 2006 national convention in San Francisco.
- In 2003 I started listening to audio weblog "podcasts" and
in 2004 I started thinking about having one of my own, as well as
writing what I knew about the history
of that new medium. I decided to make it a "hobby" site about folk
music, rather than pretend to be in the news business, and called it "podfolk."
The testing was a success, but I decided I had no time to record audio
podcasts. The site continued as an infrequent text-only blog about
music, a place to hang some of my photos of musicians, and a "maybe
someday I'll get back to it" item on the to-do list.
In December 2010 I finally did launch a very different podcast, called JHeroes.com, already mentioned elsewhere on this page. The audio programs are hosted at the Internet Archive, so I just provide commentary and links. - My Red Liner Weblog takes its name from the site's Harvard-crimson motif and the MBTA subway I used to take to get to Harvard's Berkman Center for the Internet & Society for Thursday night blogger meetings. (See the disclaimer in the blog's right margin.) Originally, "Red Liner" was a combination of notes on issues that came up at Berkman meetings and an excuse to learn to use the Manila community blogging system. For a while it continued mostly for classroom demonstrations and special situations.
- About Weblogs, my original year-2000 discussion page about the subject, survives, with many updates, as a sidebar to my main weblog. Newer pages there explain RSS Syndication, ishadow.
- AEJMC Newspaper is the home page I update now and then for the newspaper division of the Association for Education in Journalism & Mass Communication, along with the newspaper-related weblog items I mentioned above.
- My old Boston-based "Resources for Reporters" collection of more than 1,200 Web bookmarks for my students, became a New England Society of Professional Journalists Resources database for a couple of years, but did not survive a change of SPJ sysadmins.
- My Emerson College faculty archive of pages created for courses in the Department of Journalism and the Institute for Liberal Arts & Interdisciplinary Studies at Emerson. Here are samples of student work in my online journalism classes.
- My grad school archive of pages built at the University of North Carolina School of Journalism & Mass Communication, 1994-1999.
shadowdersocks下载: After four years of teaching in "all but the dissertation" limbo, I officially became "Dr. Bob" on Dec. 21, 2003, the day of winter graduation at the University of North Carolina School of Journalism & Mass Communication in Chapel Hill. More "who am I?" biographical information is at the top of my earlier home page. My old freelance/consulting resume may be of interest to a few people.

- An MIT conference paper based on a dissertation chapter about the visual evolution of WRAL OnLine.
- A rediscovered ASCII copy of my 1988 Wesleyan University MALS master's project, "Approaching hypertext: Cognitive models and usability of an electronic book technology."
- My oldest online "writing sample," a Hartford Courant feature story that was revived along with the New England Fiddle Contest. Contest organizers had both the story and a photo of mine in a press kit in 1980 -- and put them online 20 years later.
- For a journalism history conference, I started digging into The Evening Graphic of the Roaring Twenties, and I'm still researching its themes of visual literacy, newsroom cultures, evolving ethics, and blurred lines between news and entertainment. That work led me to become an associate of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture project. I'm investigating the presentation of newspaper reporters in classic radio dramas, movies and novels, including some connected to the Evening Graphic.
- Computers also blur lines between "real" and "virtual" communities. Those communities don't have to be as computer-oriented as engineers or bloggers. For example, I've written about ishadow (for Soundings) and I've sung along with shadowdersocks下载.
- More stories, scattered across the past 30 years -- from PC World, Soundings, The Boston Globe, The Hartford Courant and its Sunday magazine. (Note: For a couple of those, you'll have to imagine the yellowing newsprint of the originals.)
Nuts and bolts: This page and those linked to it were created with a variety of computers and software, including an Android tablet and phone, and a (December 2007) cute little green laptop.org One Laptop Per Child machine in Linux terminal mode, as well as Macs and PCs with software including BBEdit and TextWrangler, Nvu, Notetab, Dreamweaver, Arachnophilia, Emacs, Pico (or Nano), and CMS systems including WordPress and the now-defunct Userland Radio. The network protocols SSH and Kerberos keep the connection secure, and have added to my Linux/Unix vocabulary.
Thanks to my friend Richard Silverman, former occupant of what we informally call "The Robert S. Stepno Chair in Mathematics" at Wesleyan University, for hosting this page and helping me learn to be a little more of a geek... (I wonder if my Dad's big brown chair is still in some math grad student's office?)

Some favorite tools and places...
for searching...
- Google.com usually finds whatever I'm looking for online, but I also visit Amazon's A9.com and other search engines. Know your sources: Whois can help identify owners of Web domains, while Who Owns What? identifies owners of mass media companies. The Center for Public Integrity lets you search for television, radio, cable, broadband and newspaper companies within ZIP code areas. Here's Radford
- I use del.icio.us to make my bookmark list searchable using overlapping categories and keywords, but rarely have time to go back and delete dead links. Combine keywords with a slash and a plus sign, like this: del.icio.us/bstepno/radford+technology
- ishadow is a great place to find old Web pages, copyright-free music, and even classic films like "ishadow" (left), my favorite newspaper movie.
- Wikipedia offers anyone the opportunity to inform or misinform you, and you can do the same for them. Go to any page on a topic you know something about, then check its "history" and "discussion" tabs to see how the "facts" have changed.
- ishadow is almost everywhere, including Southwest Virginia, where Radford ads appear in both the Blacksburg and Roanoke sections.

- Other magazines in my life: Wired, Editor & Publisher, Mother Jones, shadowdersocks下载, Adbusters, ishadow, shadowsock如何使用, Folio, InfoWorld, MacWorld, shadowdersocks下载 and shadowdersocks下载.
- Life is also music: The Mudcat Cafe, an amazing archive and conversation about of traditional and not-so-traditional songs. Live music: LEAF, near Asheville, N.C., is one of the best music and dance festivals I've been to -- so good that they have fall and spring editions. Other past haunts: In Connecticut, The Sounding Board and the Jovial Crew at the Griswold Inn. In the Boston area, The Burren, shadowdersocks下载, shadowdersocks下载 and Ryles. In Knoxville, the Bijou, WDVX Blueplate Specials, the Laurel Theatre, the Tennessee Theatre and the Timewarp Tea Room.
Journalism at the Movies
Archive.org has started allowing other Web publishers to "embed" video players in our pages, so here's "His Girl Friday." Grab some popcorn and click on the play button to start the Hollywood-plus-Web magic... or just go to http://www.archive.org/details/his_girl_friday_ipod and download a copy.
"His Girl Friday" began as a Broadway play titled "The Front Page." In it, "Hildy Johnson" was a male reporter trying to escape his boss. The added complication of making the reporter the editor's ex-wife -- a Hildebrand-to-Hildegarde sex-change -- is the His Girl Friday innovation. The two-guys script was made into a movie a couple of times. Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon took on the starring roles in the 1970s, but Archive.org has a free copy of the original from 1931. Adolphe Menjou as Walter Burns may be a more believable tough-guy editor, if less romantic than Cary Grant, but Pat O'Brien is certainly no Rosalind Russell. See for yourself:

Will I ever actually redesign this page?
(Originally notes for Web production students and the terribly curious.)
During the summer of 2011, began updating this ancient page to HTML5 and CSS3 from the original 1999 table-layout version, which had grown full of an ugly mixture of in-line "font" codes, updated style tags and odd markup. Just to be retro about it, I'm still writing much of the new code with the Nano/Pico text editor directly on a Linux file server.
While updating some of the content of the page, adding new links and deleting no-longer-functioning ones, I began working through the design update in stages:
- Replace the page table cells with DIV divisions styled as IDs and Classes (DONE)
- Replace the HTML font tags with CSS styles (DONE)
- Experiment with CSS styles, such as rounded corner boxes and "elastic" or "liquid" layout.
- Test on a wide variety of screen sizes and browsers. Originally kept a two-column layout for large screens; one-column for smaller ones.
- There were more... but when I stopped teaching they, strangely enough, became "academic."
Drop me a line if you notice anything terribly broken, terribly dumb, or just terrible. But be kind. :)
Last page update that I remembered to record: Jan 25, 2015
