Jeff Jar­vis had a birth­day the other day. So I drew him this card.
Happy 50th, Jeff.
Meanwhile, Fred Wil­son atten­ded a panel in Aspen re. the future of adver­ti­sing.
Opi­nions of the pane­lists were alig­ned with what industry they belon­ged to, of course.
Media, ad agen­cies, inter­net com­pa­nies, brand con­sul­tants… all under tre­men­dous pres­sure to pro­vide ever-increasing value to their clients, with wafer-thin pro­fit mar­gins to boot. What fun.
The game has moved on. The game is elsewhere. I’ll be tal­king about that in future posts.

    denn wenn es um die dis­zi­plin geht,
    sind die ers­ten 100 jahre
    die sch­wie­rigs­ten.
    ~
    when it’s about the dis­ci­plin
    the first 100 years
    are the har­dest.
    i’m not that good in english to trans­late
    this saying in total correct english,
    but i think you unders­tand…
    go on with your dra­wing — it’s great.
    nice gree­tings from aus­tria,
