Welcome to episode #666 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #666 - Host: Mitch Joel. If we're going to always talk business here on this show, I needed something with music in it to celebrate episode #666 (number of the beast, etc…). We're in luck. Clive Thompson is not just a computer geek (like me), or a passionate journalist (like me), he also writes, records, and performs music in the band The Delorean Sisters. Still, most know him for his writing in the science and technology space for the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Smithsonian magazine and many others. He wrote the book Smarter Than You Think and more recently published his sophomore effort, Coders - The Making of a New Tribe and Remaking of the World. The book explores the fascinating world of computer programmers - the people who run today's world (and the world of tomorrow). What do these people want from technology? What will these people program for us? How will these algorithms play out? How do we ensure that they're the right people to be coding our future? Let's rock out with Clive. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #665 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #665 - Host: Mitch Joel. Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University. In addition to researching cutting­ edge technology, he also writes about the impact of these innovations on society. Cal is the author of six books, including the recently published bestseller, Digital Minimalism and (a personal favorite) Deep Work, which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace.

Welcome to episode #664 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #664 - Host: Mitch Joel. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top marketing thinkers in the world (Jaffe Juice). He is the author of five excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation, Flip The Funnel, Z.E.R.O.) and his latest, Built To Suck (plus his new company H.M.S. Beagle). A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation podcast), we used to record semi-regular conversations, debates and back-and-forths that would dive a little deeper into the business, innovation and marketing landscape. Well, we're back, so consider this our 35th conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 35.20), and in this episode, we discuss Joe's brand new book, Built To Suck… and how brands should try (very hard) to suck a lot less. Enjoy the conversation…
