The 2020 Project: Your Perfect Vision
If you stayed awake all night on Nov. 7, 2000, in a state of disbelief that exploded on Sept. 11, 2001, and persevered through the subsequent defiling of our nation’s core to rise again, hopeful, on Nov. 4, 2008, then today is one of the best days of your life.

2009 Love: Thanks Peeps!
This week I’m wrapping up one of the most adventurous, romantic, ambitious (yet incredibly challenging) years in my life, and I’m happy to be at home in Washington, DC, with my best friend from college Mr. Nate Moore, who has been an excellent house guest.

MSM vs Digital in 2009 with NYT’s Brian Stelter
On today’s Wilshire & Washington, we ask the question: Who’s on top, the MSM or Digital Media? Who’s leading the discussion, why, and is it a good thing?

The Right Idea, Episode 35: The Future of Communication from The Winston Group on Vimeo.

How Bing & Twitter Can Save Journalism
This commentary was originally posted at CauseCast.org.
If you Google the “demise of journalism,” some 718,000 results will appear detailing the transition of consumers to the Internet, the decline of advertising revenue, the hacking of newsroom editorial staffs, the artificial knowledge of crowd-sourced information, and the collective threat to intellectualism and civic responsibility. Usually fingers are [...]
The Hybrid Media Takeover
As I left the 140 Characters Conference (a.k.a. “The Davos of Twitter”) yesterday afternoon, I was approached by a lovely suit-by-day-DC-based-lifestyle-blogger-by-night who wanted to chat about the business of blogging. The whimsical tone in her voice implied that her relatively interesting day job was not half as rewarding as the passion project she feeds in [...]
Last Night’s ‘Virtually Speaking’ with Jimbo Hoyer
Much like the way I came to appreciate some of society’s great phenomenons such as “The OC” after the fact, I finally ventured into Second Life last night as a guest on “Virtually Speaking.” (Note my hot avatar provided by the VS team, including the not-exactly-true-to-life long legs.)
Jay Ackroyd (a.k.a. Jimbo Hoyer) and I discuss [...]
