The Dead Tree Model
James Fallows’ story about Google’s effort to “save the news” is interesting if a little unsatisfying. Knowing people who actually work down in Mountain View, I’ve been hearing for some time that Google had big plans for the news business. I take James Fallows to be a reliable source, and he presents the Googlers as [...] -
#48HrMag
48 Hour Magazine is awesome project, which I didn’t participate in. I should have and will next time. So should you. It’s available for purchase now. -
8-Bit Cities, Kickstarter
OK people: No more excuses. No more “I’ve got this great idea, I wish I could make the world see!” It’s simple, crowdsource your funding with Kickstarter. Strangers (or legions of inter-friends and tweeples) put up cash in an “all-or-nothing” funding model. If you don’t raise all the cash, you don’t get any. It seems [...] -
Google wanted to get you sharing and it worked!

Google Docs, Gmail, Google Reader are all tools that help me do my work more efficiently. Twitter is more than [...] -

But if you really want to know what will happen to publishing in the future, ask a “comic book guy” [...] -
The last blog post I will ever write about “citizen journalism”
I’m a little ashamed that I contribute so unabashedly to the massive pools of ink bits spilled over the death of traditional journalism and what it means for our democracy, but in truth it’s a crucial question. As a young writer who has more or less committed myself to reporting the news for the rest [...] -
Esquire finds a new APPlication
Esquire launched their monthly iPhone App. I have to say, it’s real slick. Too bad I just spent a whole eight buckaroos to subscribe for 14 issues. I wonder if they’ll offer the app to subscribers in some sort of packaged way (i.e. get the digital subscription and the print for x amount), because I’m [...] -

Urban Pigeon Racing, Current
Check out piece by Current on pigeon racing. The pacing is excellent, and the deft storytelling highlights the engaging techniques that make Current a leader in journalism’s tech-transition. I have to say I’m a little peeved at Current. For a news organization that is supposedly a groundbreaking alternative to the MSM, Current has been remarkably [...]
