According to a story on Boing Boing, last week was the lowest ratings ever in the history of broadcast television.

We don't watch much TV ourselves any more - there's just plenty more interesting stuff here in the Interweb, and we like to participate a bit more than just sit starin'. Lots of people are doing the same.

Tim O’Reilly has a fantastic post about an NYT article about how people used to draw as a matter of course each day, but now that’s quite rare. Tim says...

>Now, obviously Make: magazine shows just how vibrant the DIY movement still is, even if drawing, playing piano, and similar activities are no longer front and center. And while classical music is a specialist thing, popular music remains something that is widely practiced (albeit not as widely as in its heyday.) But the article is still a good reminder is how much we lose when we simply consume, and forget how to produce.
