Your Tire’s All Flat and Junk

This is a little piece of fun that came about spontaneously. John Sutter is an avid tinkerer of the open source sound editor Audacity. He has made thousands of sound files on his computer, which he somehow knows well enough to play in a matter of seconds, if the right situation presents itself around the office.

Is this the future of magazines?

I'm going to be short on the commentary and let the video I found do the talking, but could this be the future of magazine publishing?

We're torn on this. On one hand, we have a deep-seated love and respect for print as a medium. After all, it's where we started back in 1987. That said there's something about holding a tangible printed piece in your hand that the digital media just can't convey. On the other hand, we're a full-service marketing firm with a serious command of interactive media and we love exploring ways that we can use new technologies to communicate our clients' brands (and hey, who knows, maybe yours someday...).

Is it possible to be both a little sad and positively thrilled at the same time? That's where we are right now.
