I listen to
PotterCast, a
Harry Potter themed podcast sponsorder by
the Leaky Cauldron. It occurs to me that podcasting is allowing for a whole new category of celebrity. People with a computer and a microphone can get their talent out to the world without corporate sponsorship, expensive marketing campaigns, or even professional studios.
Does this mean our culture is becoming so burnt out on corporate copying that we can make celebrities out of “nobodies”?
Just a thought. Now back to work.
There is something liberating about minimizing your life to one carry-on and one personal item with all your liquid toilettries in 3 oz bottles in a 1 quart clear plastic bag. This is the point where you whittle down the creature comforts to only the essential items. This is how you determine what you actually need versus what you only think you need.
