Since I am trying to get back into blogging but also trying to be more efficient at work, here is a quick rundown of what I don’t have time to write about.

• The above logo is Blackwater’s attempt at rebranding. Apparently they are transitioning from the mercenary business and focusing more on their copier division. I just want to know if the subpoenas will still have the bear claw.
• Political TV commercial production and ad buying for dummies.
• Time’s feature on “Why The Taliban is Winning the Propaganda War.” I would like to see a little more nuance on the Afghan media landscape and more details about what the Afghan government’s communications apparatus looks like. But then again, I am a nerd.
