Overall, average daily circulation for 770 newspapers was 2.8 percent lower in the six-month period ending Sept. 30 than in the comparable period last year, the Audit Bureau of Circulations reported. Circulation for 619 Sunday papers fell by 3.4 percent.

This is nothing but bad news for newspapers. Their print circulation is plummeting with no bottom [...]

Leopard Pricing Thoughts

But first, I learned more about Leopard from Siracusa’s awesome review than from anything Apple put out…

I had an interesting conversation with myself in the Apple store while pondering buying an indivdual license or a family pack for $75 more (we have 3 Macs). My first thought was whether or not Apple is enforcing [...]

Reviews, We Got Reviews!

Recently I have been fortunate to have some very positive consumer goods experiences, and each time I have thought to myself "gee, I should blog about this", so in the spirit of completely random things to blog about in one post, here you go…

There’s some really good advice in this post for web designers about managing clients, but interestingly enough I thought back to a recent experience hiring a Drupal design firm and found the advice here cuts both ways.

The continuing growth of Web 2.0 startups means designers can expect to be approached by [...]

Integrated Media For Kids

I am continually impressed at how youth oriented entertainment integrates a great diversity of media types and strategies with great success.

Media Saturation? Yes.

I forced myself into a blogging vacation this week, for a reason that will become clear by the end of this post, but this was too interesting to pass up.

We now log an average of 9.7 hours each day consuming media. Some experts say we’re at the saturation point.
