November 10, 2008/9.34

Meghan McCain humanizes her Dad’s campaign

October 23, 2008/6.06

One of our team, who hails from Washington state, thinks I remind her of Gov. Sarah Palin when I say, ‘You betcha,’ which I have used as part of my regular speech for around 20 years. A lot of my family is American but it’s not from that, but from a line uttered by Andy […]

Two motoring-related snippets this time—and I’ll keep it short given that this isn’t why some of you come to Lucire.    The first item relates to our most popular item this week: Harley–Davidson has released images of the photo shoot that model Marisa Miller appears in for its V-Rod Muscle model.    A video on […]

Lucire’s top three

/6.40

Killing two birds with one stone here: as of today, you’ll notice the home page has changed even more. We now have the main cover story in its own box, the same type as the ones broadcasting the ‘Insider’ headlines and the Lucire TV clip.    Today’s cover story is about Finnish fashion, written by […]

October 6, 2008/12.34

Regular readers might notice, if they scroll, a few changes to our home page.    We’re not Facebook, so the change is designed to be evolutionary and not upset readers who have grown accustomed to where things are on the home page. There’s nothing tricky code-wise behind the scenes.    Recognizing the growing importance of […]
