Does anybody on the board know this guy. I must admit being a big fan of his. His media mix column in the Japan Times is quite good. I especially enjoyed last Sundays talking about the switch to digital TV and how basically TV stations have the bureaucrats in their back pockets so they can continue to spew out garbage but never worry about competition. Anyway just wanted to put a plug in for a writer who calls them as he sees them.

He's great. He's got a blog:

http://catforehead.wordpress.com/

I encourage all of you maniacs to get your asses over there and leave a comment or three. I'm "lecadidupe" BTW.

Thanks a lot Catoneinutica, I didn't know he had a blog. I will check it out and try to post on it. I like the way he writes, very matter of fact, not to technical, or pretentious, but I'm amazed how many times after reading one of his articles how I come away agreeing with him.

He's one of the few people worth reading regularly. He's also on Twitter and happy to engage in exchanges there.
