Medium is the Message #bjtweeup / #weiboree: 3-6 PM, July 24, Switch
- Large ideas about the medium (listal.com)

This week marks the one hundredth birthday of Marshall McLuhan, who popularized terms like “the global village” and “the medium is the message”, who has been described as everything from prophetic to pointless, and about whom Tom Wolfe wondered in 1965, “Suppose he is what he sounds like, the most important thinker since Newton, Darwin, Freud, Einstein, and Pavlov…”
Anyway, sounds like reason enough for a tweet-up. The details…

Since McLuhan was Canadian — as are the co-owners of Switch — there will also be Tim Horton’s coffee availabe. And Red Rooster Canadian wine at rmb20 per glass. And a Moosehead deal: buy a bucket of five bottles for rmb100 and get a half-dozen jelly doughnuts.
Much appreciated if you DM me if you are likely to attend.
