It is, <a href="http://gapingvoid.com/2012/02/08/my-next-book-and-some-personal-thoughts-the-future-of-the-economy/" target="_blank">as he describes it</a>, “a wee love letter to the blog.” I’ve posted <a href="http://tumblr.austinkleon.com/post/19321197765" target="_blank">a few of my favorite bits</a> already, but I love this part from the intro:</p> <blockquote> <p>Having a blog, a voice, having my own media, utterly changed my life. Suddenly my career as a cartoonist wasn’t dependent on other people: the “gatekeepers”—publishers, editors, Hollywood executives, etc., etc. Suddenly I had direct contact with my audience. They had direct contact with me. I could just do my thing, without having to wait for somebody else to deem me “worthy.”</p> <p>…Blogging gave me everything. Even in the early days, the benefits of blogging were so glaringly obvious to me that I couldn’t understand why more people weren’t doing it. Ten years later, I still can’t.</p> </blockquote> <p>Me neither.</p> <p>Filed under: <a href="http://tumblr.austinkleon.com/tagged/blogging" target="_blank">blogging</a>, <a href="http://tumblr.austinkleon.com/tagged/my+reading+year+2012" target="_blank">my reading year</a></p> </blockquote>http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/19391462713http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/19391462713Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:16:34 +0000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyopr0tRTU1qztd8ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sky Sports News is keeping you stupid</p>http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/16839089669http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/16839089669Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:42:36 +0000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lynx8fbxtY1qztd8ao1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Guardian - nothing if not eclectic.</p>http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/16815661582http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/16815661582Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:26:39 +0000the guardian<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xadc8A1cY3c?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Blockbusters prize</p>http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/16427170759http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/16427170759Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:26:11 +0000<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fZpB5qp0sGc?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>Freddie Starr tells Muhammed Ali a story</strong></p>http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/13251066428http://robinbrown78.tumblr.com/post/13251066428Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:06:26 +0000freddie starrmuhammed alimichael parkinson My apologies for bombarding you with an email but i need to increase my stats.
