For some reason, I'm getting the Time magazines at my door? I had no idea! I can't stop playing mash-up with their 10 Ideas for the Next 10 Years "cover" "package." (It is a "thinker's guide" to ideas?) It is the least-specific package ever. Bandwidth Will Save the World! Our Boring White Anxiety Crisis! Remapping the Next American Century! In Defense of the Dropout Economy! The Twilight of the New Black Gold! Bandwidth is the New TV! Hey, some of these sound wayyyy more plausible than what is actually on the magazine.

Time. Who has any?
Time magazine jumped the proverbial shark when it named me Person of the Year. To paraphrase the Surrealist philosopher Groucho Marx -- no relation to Karl -- I refuse to join any club, Time magazine, that would have me as a member.
Let's start with the obvious: Time magazine and ideas is an oxymoron.
To win? Use every word to form a cogent, plausible theorem.
White Anxiety is the New Black Gold!
Bandwidth is the New Dropout Economy
(In other words, you never stop doing what you would have done at work when you get laid off... you just stop getting paid for it.)
The Next 10 Minutes? I think Jason Roberts Brown has some suggestions for what we're supposed to do.
Wednesday is the new Friday.
