Reinventing the Wheel : The Medium Is the Medium Is the Message Is the Massage

    
Yesterday our sales rep. traveled to Acronym City to spruik at MADA and MUMA for blogs and bLOGOS/HA HA.

Loman says he was well received - the presentation well attended and the TAR attentive - but, again, no sales. 

At the conclusion of his spiel, Bill asked for a show-of-hands : Who here has a blog? No one. Why not, asks Bill? Old media, they told him.

Loman is long-in-the-tooth old media too, but he reckons this threw him. Apparently he then asked if Publication is now old media?

All morning he's been going on about Fukuyama and Black Mirror and Marshall McLuhan and The medium is still the message : bloody Painting, bloody post-Conceptual bloody Twitter bloody bloody bloody...

We're a bit worried about old BL. 

Here, to regard your regard, an image of the amused and mediated Mr. McLuhan.
