Temple student featured on Wheel of Fortune
Temple junior Drew Magathan will be a contestant next week on Wheel of Fortune!
According to a Facebook events page:
So, I got onto Wheel of Fortune’s College Week 2009: Spring Break and my life is forever changed. I hugged Vanna White on multiple occasions, held quality banter with Pat Sajak, met some of the most incredible people from so many different colleges across the country, spent three fantastic days in Los Angeles, California, and… oh yeah, COMPETED ON WHEEL OF FORTUNE!
Magathan said on the event page he can’t divulge how he did — “(I was specifically told NOT to… BELIEVE me, I want to)” — but we’ll all find out Tuesday.

Jurassic Web
Remember the days of HTML-ing your AOL profile? There was no such thing as a witty away message, and there was an overly-active message board for the Spice Girls and Pokémon and just about anything else you were interested in. (And you know you were!)
Laugh at your old Internet-awed-self with Slate Magazine‘s tech columnist Farhad Manjoo as he takes you back to a time when we painted CSS code on cave walls.
If you like Manjoo’s piece, read his book: True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society. And if you haven’t had enough childhood flashbacks for one day, play this.
David Bowie plays Andy Warhol?
Temple profs are giving their insights on a movie featuring David Bowie as Andy Warhol. Drugs. Music. Art. The Village.
Combine all of the above, and you have a good time.
As part of One Film Philadelphia, the film Basquiat will be shown across Philadelphia in the coming days. On Thursday, Feb. 26, Temple’s American Studies department will host a panel discussing the movie about a Haitian/American artist who comes up from graffiti to become an international art star.

Will the real Joaquin Phoenix please stand up?
In case you missed it, Joaquin Phoenix made an appearance lately on David Letterman earlier this month. At least he was there physically. It is still a mystery where he was mentally. Perhaps he’s been spending too much time with crazed Phillies former catcher Darren Daulton? They seem like they’re on about the same wavelength.

Inquirer, DN file for Chapter 11
Ironic that the headline of Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer was “A Measure of Relief.”
Philadelphia Newspapers L.L.C., which not only owns the Inky but also the Daily News and philly.com, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today. The company faces $390 million of debt. TTN has learned an e-mail has been sent to staff members.
The company attributes “advertising downturn, rising costs for newsprint, and the migration of readers to the Internet” as causes for the profit loss.
However, the filing will not affect the daily production of the paper. A restructuring of the organization is expected.
