Early one today since I actually wrote this last night...
I just came across the first Drawing Media interview over on Kottke that Edith started up.
It obviously reminded me a bit of my Consumption Gumption series and even gave me some ideas for ways I can improve and make it more interesting to read through.
The only reason I bring it up is because back in February I actually reached out to Edith asking if she might be interested in participating in mine—and then their first edition was actually published the same day I published my second with Maique.
I obviously don’t own interviews about media; I stole this format from the Monday Media Diet and People and Blogs after all. Plus, as Edith mentioned, Jason has been doing his Media Diet recaps for years a la Soderbergh—so it makes complete sense as a regular feature for them.
There’s also a chance she didn’t see the email or had this in the works prior to it. I just found the whole thing quite funny and couldn’t help but want to drop the story here for this more private audience.
But like I said, it’s given me ideas for how we can improve. So at least there are learnings for me through this. Even still, I can't help but feel a tinge of disappointment through it all—even if it's irrational.
Anyways, enjoy your weekend!
