The man has some smart things to say, both to the ad industry and the audience it aims at.

Anyhoo, I just wanted to put all of these in one handy place. So without further ado:
Feeling, far too close to the ground,
Probably one of my favourite thinkers of all time, Stefan Sagmeister has now extended his one of his masterpieces of literature to the online masses.
I am humbled.
