For every kid that I bump into who is wandering the media industry looking for an entrance that closed some time ago, I come across another who is a bundle of ideas, energy and technological mastery. The next wave is not just knocking on doors, but seeking to knock them down.

The Media Equation - For Media, a Sunset Is Followed Quickly by a Sunrise - NYTimes.com (via peterpawlick) (via neilperkin) (via wearethedigitalkids)

There aren’t any doors anymore. Pitch your tent, stake your claim.

(via tanya77)

There are tent-pitching spaces everywhere. Just look under the highways.

(Living in tents is actually what we’re all sort of anxious about. Worrying about “the future of media” seems like a concern for the idle rich. Fair enough if you’ve already earned a comfortable future… but for perspective’s sake, a lot of the rest of us, including a large portion of amateur media enthusiasts, are working full-time in sell-out-type jobs — paralegals, accountants, yes even paper salesmen — and are happy to have even the hobbyist’s privilege of contributing on a small scale. Yet we’re worried about all doors in the economy closing. And when you’re shut out of the economy, “pitching a tent” is no longer a metaphor. What use is media if there’s no society left to consume it?)

Now the Football Gods have determined it’s my turn to have a heart attack of embarrassment. Oh well! 7 points, 2 minutes… good luck Brees, you’ll need it.

Another Saints FG (wah-waaahhh), another Redskins return to nearly midfield. P.S. Don’t tell anyone I was wholeheartedly cheering on the Redskins, ok?
