I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

Derek Powazek published the magazine overnight using MagCloud. The idea that a magazine can be produced overnight and distributed worldwide, at a fraction of the cost magazines were once traditionally produced and distrubuted is pretty phenomenal. Some possibilities I could imagine: a tumblr like Eat, Sleep, Draw producing a quarterly periodical highlighting the best content they’ve curated. They would only produce what is ordered, ensuring they would not suffer a loss on production. (via RexBlog) If tablet computers catch on in the next two years, this is the end-game for Tumblr. Or the beginning game. Occasionally––mostly during commutes—I think about how I would run certain start-ups. Monetizing Tumblr is a frequent one and I always end up wondering how managed community content and sharing can fill whatever void is left by the magazine apocalypse of 2009. Still pondering that one… but this is a step towards it.
