Introducing Grand Unified Weekly, Episode 3
The weekly science round up for the rest of us.
As said by our producer, Christopher Mims: Grand Unified Weekly has landed at SlateV like a Megatherium brought down by a pack of Smilodons, and the world can never be the same again.
Hulu Brings Back WKRP in Cincinnati
Among other greats from my childhood (yes I was eight in 1978 and I was sorta in love with Johnny Fever) are old episodes of WKRP now watchable any time on Hulu.com.
It’s amazing what the people at Hulu are doing. In my opinion this is the first view into a viable future of video on the Web.
I’m fond of this clip from the show - think how far we’ve come…in such a short time. I mean we were still splicing tape only 15 years ago.
(and I cut this clip from the entire episode on Hulu - they allow you to cut ins and outs right there on the site.)
The Future of Magazines, and How Horses are Inolved
Do you really think information can be treated as the same sort of commodity as transportation?
io9 publishes this prediction for print in a digital world made by ex-Conde Nast editorial director, James Truman.
“Print magazines are becoming more luxurious on their way to obsolescence, says former Condé Nast editorial director James Truman. Speaking at the “Quickie” performance evening in San Francisco, Truman talked about why he left Condé Nast and what he’s learned about the future of print publishing. Hint: It has to do with horses, star-gazing and Burning Man.”
