The Self-Made Man: Ethan Diamond

It’s amazing how much the idea of finding music online has developed?and improved?over the past decade.

Awesome Men Throughout History: Jonti Picking

When people talk about how the Internet has changed the way people interact with visual media (which means ?watch television? 90% of the time), they always talk about content distribution and don’t really touch on content itself all that much.
