More parts per million

Salon.com has a quick obituary for Neil Postman, who everyone should be interested in. Too bad that Covenant College's freshman technology class managed to convince me that Neil Postman was horrid and dry; nothing could be further from the truth (it was the class that was horrid and dry, not Neil).

I think Neil would have something interesting to say about this new 'version' of the 'Bible' -- Its definently something. Something silly that is. Yup, something's disconnected there. I could go on with some sort of unnecessary communications-studies/philosophy of media/pop-sociology type analysis... but I won't. Revolve speaks for itself. Frankly, I think that things like this call more for unintended laughs than for serious analysis.

Sidenote: for anyone who buys McLuhan, here's an interesting quote from one of the creators of Revolve:
"We've done nothing to change the message -- all we've done is change the packaging."
