“So let’s call this the newsonomics of the shiny new wrapper, a movement that is allowing editors, publishers, broadcasters and marketers to reimagine what (and how) they can offer to long-time and would-be readers.” – Ken Doctor

This is the space where my most interesting and most recent conversations are occurring.

I see a huge opportunity for publishers to repackage their existing assets in meaningful ways. Ways that add ongoing value to readers. Ways that really highlight existing expertise across a multitude of channels that were historically very challenging to pursue.

I count Jim’s Journal (along with the Muppets, Hitchhikers Guide, Airplane, and The State) as significant in forming my sense of humor.

I’m pleased to find Jim’s Journal is on GoComics.com. And just as dry as ever.

Mark Foster (author of the highly recommended, Do it Tomorrow) has an exceedingly simple and powerful task management system called: Final Version.

“The FV algorithm uses the question ‘What do I want to do before I do x?’ to preselect a chain of tasks from the list. What exactly is meant by ‘want’ in this context is deliberately left undefined. There may be a whole variety of reasons why you might want to do one thing before another thing and all of them are valid.”

Brilliant in its simplicity. No fancy software needed. Just pen, paper, and the desire to do something.

The title of this post? That’s advanced.
