The NY Times' Carpetbagger riffs on Greg...

You all don't know this because you read what I type, you don't SEE me typing. It can be a scary thing. I type with two fingers, I type fast and I type hard. Always have, always will. The more focused I am, the faster and louder I type. This did not go unnoticed by New York Times culture reporter and media columnist David Carr, whose "The Carpetbagger" is a seasonal blog that covers all things Oscar -- the news, the nonsense, and the players that drive the campaign.

Here is some of what Carr, who refers to himself on his blog as "the Bagger," wrote about encountering me at the past few awards shows:
"At the Globes, the Bagger sat next to this guy who opened up file after file on his laptop and kept going all night long, every once in a while piping up to ask a question. A few of us sitting by him watched him pound away and asked, “Who is that guy?� Turns out it’s Greg Hernandez from the Los Angeles Daily News and, well, the dude likes typing.
At the SAG awards, the Bagger, when he saw he would be sitting close to this blogging bot decided to sit elsewhere. The Bagger lived-blogged here and there, but nothing like the amazing output of Mr. Hernandez, who likes to bring his readers results on a schedule that’s closer to live television than publishing."

Here is a LINK to the Carpetbagger site and a DIRECT LINK to the item about me and my terrifying typing.

About Out

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
