Media Consumption: How do you digest media?

journalism, pop trends, videogames — Tags: , , — jacob @ 3:17 pm

I may be in the minority in the way that I consume media.

When I am reading a book, magazine or even checking out things in email, I tend to keep a pen and pad or at least some sticky notes handy to write down quotes or questions that I want to look up later, songs that I might want to check out or links to Web sites I might want to visit when I get a chance.

It goes back to the way I consume online media. In my RSS feeds in Google Reader, I can star articles that I need to check back on and share everything after I have processed it so that I can find it later. It makes the whole process much more digital, but I do the same thing just on paper when I read a magazine or book.

As a side note, I wrote down a note to write this post while I was reading the latest issue of Maxim. There wasn’t too much to note out of it considering it was such a slow month for gaming that they reviewed Ultimate Duck Hunting for the Wii with 3 stars. Not that it doesn’t deserve 3 stars, but I can’t really see that game being at the top of the charts as the only Wii game reviewed for August.

I never realized the connection between my online habits changing my offline habits, but how do you consume media? Has online media changed it?

Dramatic chipmunk. Oh, how you bypass all rules of sanity

pop trends, the web — Tags: — jacob @ 12:30 am

The dramatic chipmunk takes top honors from Telegraph.co.uk as the number 1 “must-watch” web video–and it’s not even a real chipmunk if you find a longer version of the clip…it’s a prarie dog, which is much larger than a chipmunk last time I checked.

You would think if you were going to become a web celebrity, you would want to make sure everyone got their facts straight. It would be like if the Hansen brothers got famous for being hot chicks and never corrected anyone who talked about them…

Wait, they didn’t correct anyone. Bad example.

The truth exposed below. Read the translations.
