apparently, i have always been concerned with the future of media.

Back in 1988, my high school newspaper was produced using actual physical typesetting, paper proofs, and a printing press.  It was a month long process that involved weeks of going back and forth calling in font size changes and approving "blues".  As a sophomore, I made the radical suggestion that we abandon traditional newspaper production and start making a weekly that we'd create using this crazy new thing called "desktop publishing software" (on our hot new Macintosh II), cheap photo processing from the drug store, and the school's office copier. All of this was unheard of at the time (remember: this is nineteen-eighty-eight) and I went on to give workshops on fast publishing at high school journalism conferences.  A lot of teachers complained that my method wasn't preparing students for a career in "real" journalism.

This one action should explain everything I've ever done since.
