In fact, I still work with reel-to-reel tape today. And vacuum tube microphones, manual typewriters, film photography . . . and paper-based newsletters! In fact, I have found it to be the ONLY way to cut through all of the current online "bloat". And . . . it gets results! Responses are up (compared to email communication).

After being spat out of a 30 year journalism career I once loved, I almost felt a tinge of hope in the face of my current obsolescence. I wish them well, but I hope they face the future with open eyes. The demand for our skills is shrinking, if not already gone. What information consumers crave more is found on YouTube, The Daily Show and TMZ. But what do I know? I'm not too different from an old village blacksmith who sat by and watched his customers sell the family horse to buy a Model-T. Well crafted.
