How The Other Half Lives

This just in…

Sent by my friend Jim Long on his iPhone.

Jim is a professional cameraman with NBC News.

He is in Asia with Obama on the White House press corps.

All of this stuff, all of it, is what he takes along with him. It’s all video and television gear.

Unbelievable.

Jim lives on the other extreme of the spectrum.

But at the same time, he totally gets the future.
