Adventures in media

BART will let Viacom test advertising in the tunnels between stations using hundreds of posters arrayed to act like a flipbook animation.

I can think of much better uses for that technology.

Meanwhile, a spunky student-paper sex columnist has parlayed her work into a novel about a student-paper sex columnist. Now why didn't I think of that approach when I was a student-paper entertainment writer? Probably because I wasn't as cute a 21-year-old as she is. Coincidentally, the Baltimore Sun just published an article about student sex columnists, saying such work "can really spice up a resume." (Link courtesy Romenesko.)
