Bricks & Clicks
The Rockford Register Star is more than a newspaper: the ink on print or the “bricks” in the News Tower. We’re a multimedia news and information company: the “clicks” on our Web site and the TV clips on WREX-13. This blog explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do. |

I was surfing the Web today and came across this gem of a story: Baby Jesus back after 6 years. Talk about news of the weird.
Here’s a great quote from the West Des Moines, Iowa, woman who got back the key member of her large nativity: “Seven months later, they told me it was a cold case. We were going to buy a whole other manger scene because you can’t just buy the baby Jesus. But who needs six kings, two Josephs and two Marys?”

Oh, you betcha. And in honor of the one-year anniversary Sunday of the iPhone debut, I share with you my favorite media video ever. It’s David Pogue, personal-technology writer for the New York Times, singing to the tune of “My Way,” “iPhone: The Musical.”
Stick with it till the end. It’s worth it cause you’ll get to watch a bunch of New Yorkers singing.
And, no, I don’t own an iPhone. And this musical didn’t make me want to buy one. I just love the creativity.
