All the Marbles

American Indian artifacts must not fall into the hands of profiteers.

By John Saltas
POSTED // Jun 24,2009 - Anyone who has previously read this column knows I'm quite proud of being Greek. They also know I'm not a full-blooded Greek, and that a fourth of my genes link me to the first Mormon pioneers to settle Utah...

By John Saltas
POSTED // Jun 17,2009 - Among the many dangers facing modern man is looking dumb and stupid when in the company of another modern man. That's especially so if the other fellow is decidedly smarter than you are ...

Careful who you follow on Twitter, Joe.

By John Saltas
POSTED // Jun 3,2009 - The only time I met Deseret News Editor Joe Cannon, we were attending a lecture by author Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson spoke passionately about how Americans must protect and cherish the core values of the Greek heritage...

Bicycle Twits

I’m losing followers as fast as I’m gaining them.

By John Saltas
POSTED // May 20,2009 - I've been using Twitter for several weeks now and am up to 81 followers. Besides reaffirming that I'm a Twitter nobody (Shaq picked up about 50,000 followers in the past 10 days), that's weird.

Twitter: We're seperated only by six degrees and a bar tab.

By John Saltas
POSTED // May 13,2009 - In just seven days, I have twice as many Twitter followers as I had one week ago. When I wrote about joining Twitter last week, I had 26 Twitter followers. Seven days later, I have 52...

Unsocial Media

Twitter: The greatest uniter since CB radio.

By John Saltas
POSTED // May 6,2009 - I've known Glen Warchol, Salt Lake Tribune blogger, for quite a few years, first being aware of him through common friends (yes, Warchol detractors, he has friends). He was working in the alternative press at the time...

No Newks

If you didn’t know better, you’d think the atomic bomb was dropped on Wendover.

By John Saltas
POSTED // Apr 29,2009 - Millions of people pass by it every year, but few stop to see what's left of old Wendover Airfield on the Utah- Nevada border. ...

Gather Round

By John Saltas
POSTED // Apr 22,2009 - Driving in and out of Salt Lake is dismal these days. I arrive and depart via Interstate 15, so for a good stretch, my drive takes me along West Temple...

Odd Man Out

Outside of base jumpers and body piercers, our society lacks risk takers.

By John Saltas
POSTED // Apr 15,2009 - As much as I'd like to tell a Wiechman story or two, it wouldn't be right in that he's much closer to his church these days. Plus, I don't need reminding that he didn't mind a good fistfight ...
