Funny or Die

I was only able to attend two of the sessions with Mike and Chris Farah (damn you Friday Spanish), but in the two sessions I learned a lot about the things that go on behind the scenes at one of these new, internet driven media/comedy sites. First and foremost: wow, what a bad ass job. As soon as Mike started talking, I started thinking about how cool it must be to have stars clawing to work with you, while still being in completely free of any semblance of studio control. Mike and Chris talked a lot about how much of their success had to do with being in the right place, with the right medium, at the right time. In a way, that is kind of a scary prospect, but at the same time it is one that is rife with possibilities. Our generation is lucky to have this relatively new technology in the internet that is still completely full of untapped potential. I'm looking forward to see what other changes in media still come to pass because of the internet.
