  • Zombie travel is travel without conscious thought. July 23, 2009

    Looking Down Upon the World, London, England

    A nice, but misguided, attempt to connect the principles behind Umair Haque’s Zombieconomy to our choices of how to travel, followed by a bit of a rant.

    Lonely Planet, Zombie Travel:

    For what shall it profit travellers, if they visit the whole world without experiencing it fully?

  • Social relevance will be the arbiter of authority and attention. July 20, 2009

    Transparency alone does not necessarily create objectivity; instead, transparency shifts the onus of analysis from the filter to the end-reader. The role of the “credentialed commentator” changes, but it doesn’t die: and it’s the opportunity that “journalism” has yet to understand or leverage.
