The Resurrection of Talk Radio: The Problem and...
The old saying/The Buggle’s synthpop song  goes video killed the radio star; YouTube then killed the video stars (even the trashy reality TV “stars”). Now what will kill the YouTube stars? That is not currently my question to answer. This week I have been tasked with giving advice to the head of digital media for a Danish talk radio station. My question is—how do you save...

Business Visit: B&O
Remember that time at that club where my entire class got ril trashy together? The ice broke and balls rolled and pins knocked and gutters got cleaned and beers got drank and the dance floor dirtied.

Confession Of A Virtual World Addict: Why Digital...
[The following blog post is an attempt to contain my reaction to the PBS Documentary “Digital Nation,” personal anecdotes, meta commentary, convoluted analysis, and maybe even some insight. Reader indiscretion is advised] Foreboding, sinister, somber. That is how I found the PBS documentary “Digital Natives”— but also: biased. The PBS reporters tried to present not...

In Which You Become A Person Of Substance
When was the last time you read a novel? No, not The Hunger Games, not Tina Fey’s biography, not Lady Gaga’s Terry Richardson photo album, not a HuffPo article reviewing a novel, not a graphic novel, not a tweet from your favorite food blogger. But an actual, honest-to-gods-of-epic-poetry Literature-worthy novel filled with real characters and personal revelation and...

a blog's raison d'être
Sorry for the wait… Not that anyone will be seeing this website until I log a couple of posts, but first thing/post is first: I wanted to apologize for taking so long (See: the fact that I am currently already in Denmark and have been for ~three days now) to create this Travel Blog.
