When Books Died
I spend a great deal of time in my car. In the past, if I was to maximize the value of that time, I had a number of choices. I could listen to the radio. Sadly, I have never found a commercial station offers me a three solid hours of stimulating listening. [...]

Another pleasant email this week announced the unceremonious return of my favourite T-shirt manufacturers, the infamous brand-extinguishing, Justin Nurse-inspired Laugh It Off.

Mark spends a lot of time commenting on the impact of emering social (or consumer-generated) media on mainstream media, and recently wrote an excellent entry on the relationship (or divide) between blogs and what we understand as [...]
