What do you do now you don't watch TV?

Clay Shirky is slap in the middle of my radar right now, which is how I came across this work of genius.

Nutshell: TV has sucked up most of the time you'd otherwise have been using to create things you care about.

I think I spend my cognitive surplus right about here and here.
And it results in stuff like this.

Bet Clay doesn't watch much TV...

    Shirky just makes fantastic connections. I used to think I could do this but I am not worthy. Thanks for the link.
