  4. Being near #Atlanta, it is hard not to think about #TedTurner & remember if not for him:

    *The #Braves & Hawks would have left ATL
    *No Trashers Hockey
    *No TBS or TNT or TCM or Adult Swim
    *No CNN (or quick Intl news especially during the Gulf War)
    *Atlanta probably would not have had the Olympics or be a powerhouse city that became my homebase
    *Coke probably relocates
    *WCW Wrestling never becomes anything
    *No Cartoon Network & memories w/my kid

    *Donated 1 bil to the UN
    *Conservationist - Saved the Buffalo
    *A damn good restaurant: Montana Grill

    Love him or hate him but he definitely had a huge impact on many lives. True entrepreneur. #RIP Ted

    Thin-sliced: Ted Turner changed the look of #news #media and devoted his life and fortune to #peace and land conservation.

    A favorite quote, in response to Barbara Walters' asking for his secret:

    "Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise".

  7. Feels weird to write a sort of obituary for Ted Turner considering that I knew very little of the man. But he was a fixture in the background of my entire life, largely shaping the world I knew. He was also widely criticized in my childhood church for his politics and (lack of?) faith. Which means that he is probably worth celebrating, if I'm being honest.
