Trabalhando com internet e comunicação desde o início da carreira, sempre quis publicar meu próprio conteúdo. Em 2002, depois de inúmeros sites abandonados, criei o Brainstorm #9 para reunir aquilo que a criatividade, inspiração e tecnologia são capazes de fazer. Sem a pretensão de ditar tendências ou dar furos de notícia, a intenção é mostrar aquilo que me chama atenção e vale a pena ser compartilhado. Pode ser clichê dizer isso, mas em poucos anos o site acabou virando uma comunidade, reunindo pessoas e mentes bacanas. Já eu, continuo adorando clicar em “Publish” todos os dias.

Dobrow Checks the Pulse of ‘Saturday Night Live’


It's not that the 2009-2010 iteration of "Saturday Night Live" isn't funny, but what "SNL" has lost is its sense of immediacy. Prior to the viral-videos-gone-wild era, you lived in fear of missing a Moment-With-A-Capital-"M." Now, deliverance is only a few clicks and a 30-second pre-roll ad away. Barring the appearance of an unconventional host or a killer musical act, there's no compelling reason to catch the show live.

Recruit Based on Who Can Deliver Your Brand Promise
