... am I the only one who had to hit google news to find out what's going on in Ukraine right now?
Well, apparently there is no trace of Ukraine on the front pages of cnn.com and msnbc.com, and barely a mention on foxnews.com, so it seems that - in the states - that's probably your best bet.
eXtreme Programming?
See, this is why I think XP was poorly named. My expectation of Extreme Programming involves guys with body-piercings and facial tattoos coding while base-jumping and chugging Mountain Dew. Not pair-programming, good testing, and a minimalist design process.
I think I heard that before who said it?

Ukraine must not have significant oil fields.

It's pretty mainstream news if you are in Europe.
But in all fairness, the Ukraine borders the EU and there are political ties or ambitions there concerning the EU. No, I don't know all the details and I wont pretend to, but ultimately, it affects the EU. The US, on the other hand, is a world away and frankly what goes on in the Ukraine is not exactly a big deal to the US or its people. Yes, on a being informed of big events in the world level, it should be reported in the US, but I can understand the US not being that interested. Im sure there are levels of concern for the US, but its a much bigger deal to us in Europe.

I'm sure many of the people unaware of what is going on in Ukraine didn't follow the MSM to begin with.

I'm in the USA, it's not about snow or football, so it's (embarrassingly) not front page news on the various tv news sites. It is showing up on the nytimes & washington post. so that's something.
It's definitely been on CNN. The elevators in my building have little TVs playing CNN all day long so I get it in 30 second snippets.

Just don't be naive and understand that you are supporting not ukrainians but some (minor? worst?) part of them.
thanks for the `worst' part

I think blaming "MSM" is becoming an increasingly poor excuse in an age where you are free to compose your own news feed in places like Twitter - even Tumblr. I'm sure many of the people unaware of what is going on in Ukraine didn't follow the MSM to begin with.
