Freelance Copyediting

| | Comments (5)

While perusing the CNN web site yesterday I noticed a typo in the title to the article Mars rover begins descent from summit--the word "descent" was missing its "s", and it was really weird and obvious to me.

I decided to see if I could take care of this mistake, (utilizing an inside connection of mine), and sure enough, 5 minutes later "decent" was now "descent"--small work, but fairly gratifying.

That is awesome. It's like the way UrHo is sort of community edited (I'll fix broken links or resize images for people) but on the larger scale. I wonder how you implement something like this for an organization like CNN or NYTimes?

You need to put up new pictures of your stache. I've been hearing about it. I want to photoshop it into inappropriate situations and then stare at it.

FYI: When the season starts again you're taking me to a Timbers game.
