“Paperback Writer” now ancient concept?

October 20, 2010

Yes, I still read books. Real books. On paper. (One more reason for my kids to label me old and decrepit…) But I’m also reading books on my iPhone. Consuming books in PDF form on my laptop. (Tried flirting with a Sony Reader back in the day – no go, for a variety of reasons.) [...]

Today on Redoing Media: Robert Wagner from OurPDX?

May 20, 2010

Yes, Robert joins me for a second appearance on the Redoing Media show today at 1 pm. Yes, Robert is now the new editor of OurPDX. Which would make me the ex-editor, I suppose. But it wasn’t a hostile takeover, fiendish corporate power struggle, or a pissy ‘don’t let the door hit you on the [...]
