- Charlie Brooker Rants Over Aspirational and Unrealistic TV ScenesWarning: strong language and strong opinions. But both provide a welcomed dose of invective to the hyper-reality on TV screens. In closing, Charlie says, "Balls to aspiration."James Sherrett

- Consumers are the new ad agency February 15, 2010Credit: Tom Fishburne These are fighting words, especially from an ad guy such as myself, but I see several reasons to argue the case. 1. CONSUMER GENERATED CONTENT HAS EARNED RESPECT: Last week the New York Times contained a provocative piece noting that the most popular Super Bowl ad was created by consumers (Doritos).

- Conversation: Why I came to SxSW March 12, 2010Real conversation with a real person. Social without the digital media.
