Analog Vs. Digital

Why do things have to be analog OR digital?

Why can’t they be both?

Who is to stop a blog from coming in a beautiful printed edition. Imagine the best articles from your favorite blog, printed on high quality linen paper, encased in a tasty leather rolled cover. I know that’s not for everyone. But I would be interested in physical versions of certain websites. Annual reviews that mark the time. Art objects that have a shelf-life that lives beyond my daily, ever changing RSS feed.

I’d like to see more printed materials drawing inspiration from the online world. I’d like to see books that actually looked like really well designed blogs. I think that would make a tasty jumping off point for a printed book.

I’ve got a project in the works that I hope can bridge the analog and physical worlds. I want to find a unique purpose for each, and find a way that they can co-exist.
