Acts and Artifacts
As a historian, my personal techno-utopian fantasy has always been that 3-D digital preservation would be the great leap forward, preserving experiences rather than just artifacts. But your notion that digital preservation is a second life- and a pale sh ... -
Fiction and Non-Fiction
Thanks for the interesting post, Nick. We seem to be returning frequently to the way in which Major League Baseball has been marketed (or has marketed itself) in recent years. I find particularly insightful your designation of baseball as the 'grey l ... -
But he DID tweet @NatsDude98...
I wonder if both avenues aren't actually correct. Does social media paradoxically make one feel both more and less connected to the athletes? On the one hand, I would imagine that, as Annie says, creating a constant barrage of unrequited love would ... -

Great post, Steven. What I find really interesting about this- and it was unspoken but present in Benjamin's post as well- is that this is, as you say, yet another iteration of the virtual pet. (I also like your notion that virtual pets are basicall ... -
Politics and children's television
There's something profoundly schizophrenic about the use of politics here. In reference to our previous discussions, perhaps it comes from the attempt to cross-market- to make a fundamentally 'adult' appeal in a children's format with ... -
The notion of cross audience
The notion of cross audience marketing is a very interesting one. I wonder if part of the industry interest in a film like "Wild Things" is the potential that it has to cross not just the adult/child divide, but divisions within child audiences ...
