Travis DeSimone. Corsair. If anyone reads this section, then they know that I am a big fan of alternative business models in the world of multimedia.

The Book Group
Travis DeSimone. Corsair. The Book Group is a BBC4 show that aired for two seasons from 2002 until 2003.

Quick thoughts on 2012 NBA All-Star Game
