Let's take it from the top...

FOX23 News Daybreak airs Monday through Friday, from 5am to 9am, central time. Anchors Ann Sterling and Ron Terrell are joined by meteorologists Paul Heggen or Michael Seger as they bring you the day's top stories from around Tulsa and beyond. Star reporters Sharon Phillips and Carrie Netherton are often live around Tulsa, covering both serious news events and light-hearted local features. Behind the scenes, a large crew of production and news personnel work together to create each show. Finally, there's you, the humble and diligent viewer, whom we hope we are serving to the best of our ability everyday.

Beyond our interest in bringing viewers the most up-to-date information on breaking news and weather events, as well as solving problems plaguing the community, FOX23 News also recognizes the need to stay in contact with the community in a variety of ways. Our reporters, anchors, and meteorologists are often seen around town at various events. They talk to students at schools, attend fund-raisers, and sometimes just find a chance to hang out and talk to viewers. We're not only here to inform, we want to be a part of your community.

So, tune in to FOX23 News Daybreak every weekday morning to see vibrant personalities tell the most important stories of the day, and be sure to look for us around town. Also, we can be found online on social networking site Facebook, and of course at our website, www.fox23.com

Finally, there's the DB! Born of my incessant need to talk at length about as much nonsense as possible, the powers that be (Scott the Evil Producer) decided I should write a blog that is in (loose) connection with our program. I've attempted to use this space for a variety of things; to promote our show and website, to point out weird and interesting stories from around the glob, and to let viewers take an inside peek into our world.

Finally, I use this space to wage war against Scott the EP, who is wicked and must be destroyed. Most days you will learn how he works to foil my good mood, and how daily battle must ensue to keep him from gaining any true power. Luckily, my cause is just, and I am aided by all who hear my cries.

So, dear reader, I ask you to aid me in this quest. Watch FOX23. We are awesome. Say hi to Ann, Ron, and the rest of the gang if you see them around town. They are awesome. Check us out on Facebook, at FOX23.com, and here at the DB! The Internet is awesome. Finally, if you see Scott the EP, show him no mercy in feeling the wrath of your unending anger. Let him know how you support me and the DB! and how you will not stand for his constant evil and wily ways. He must be stopped. Please help.

But in the meantime, links!

* FOX23 has been busy over the past day. A shooting this morning, one last night, stories on education, bond issues, cyber-bullying, and the economy kept the gang busy. Check them out, so we can keep those paychecks coming!

* If you happen to live in South Carolina, you may not need to pay for your pizza.

* The man responsible for the main character in the movie "Casino" has died. No word on whether "heart attack" is code for "bomb in his car."

* The new Star Trek movie is getting lots of buzz today, as new pictures are available online. Instead of linking to those, which are available practically everywhere else, here's the wiki on the franchise's darkest moment.

* Classic gaming chic is in high gear. Now you can have crappy 80's graphics on your wall!

* Here's some fun art reimagining the Star Wars universe with a Steampunk theme! For more info on Steampunk, a concept that seems to only truly matter to about a half dozen people in Bristol, England, check this out!

* Now this is cool. A time line of Internet nonsense. Anyone else remember the Hamster Dance?!

* The Jim Henson Company is considering making a murder mystery. And my childhood ends.... now.

* Happy birthday, Sega CD!

* Ecstacy found in a Playstation 2! Playstation 3, on the other hand, is still sorta lame.

* Despite being a total tool, this guy has a cool story on how to get out of speeding tickets.

* Donkey Kong Jenga! Just like regular Jenga, except more expensive and with more pieces to lose!

* South Korea makes robots that can dance and do chores! Why doesn't anyone realize how badly this is going to end. Obviously, I'm the only one who saw "I, Robot." Hang on, let me check the earnings. Yes, I am the only one who saw "I, Robot."

* Kangaroos may be wiped out by global warming! Somewhere, a penguin is laughing.

* Finally, a comparison of George W. Bush and Batman. On one hand, I'm dissatisfied with the president. On the other hand, I do love Batman. I'm so confused.
