A truly brilliant man...waded through one of his books many years ago. (I think it was for some college paper, 30 or 40 years ago.) Quotes: "the medium is the message" and "the global village". He sure understood the internet long before it was.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of Marshall's birth. He was a certifiable nut-case but also a very brilliant thinker. I've read all his books and I pretend to think that I understood what he wrote. He surely influenced me, big time. RIP Marshall McLuhan.
