Streaming audio is like the radio - turn it on and the sound is there. Audio and video podcasts are like Netflix that you can keep without paying for them. RSS has no analogue that translates well, which is why it's so damn hard to explain to people. Social networks are like clubs, only digital, distributed, and worldwide. Some things are esoteric - you can only experience them - but the rest is just a question of framing it in a context that someone else will understand.

Michael Scott is Willy Loman, favoring the Old Way of Doing It over today's Confusing Technology. As I think about it now, how weird is it that both of our heros drove their cars into inaminate objects (and in light of how FUCKING lame the character of Michael Scott has become in the last two seasons, how unfortunate is it that they didn't *both* meet their demises?)

The Office always speaks so inherently to the poor management we must go through at some point in our career (unless we are super smart or super lucky). I once had a boss who literally said to me "The Internet...it's a fad." I can't even imagine what he is doing today while I Twitter away ;) "Fear of moving forward only allows you to walk in place." /kff Great post Amanda, sorry I missed you at the breakfast on Wednesday.
