FTA: "It is mind boggling to work like this, when you are so used to sending emails and expecting the recipient to read it an answer within two hours. Working slow has its advantages though – you ponder what you’re going to put online, you have the best excuse to give to those who ask for material for the next hour. Even if it must be frustrating for the crew to be cut off from the world, a part of me envies them – the 24 hours news cycle we have become used to doesn’t let you filter the important stuff from the noise. I wrote short headlines for the crew every day (”what’s happening in the unfrozen world”), and it makes me reflect on what happened that really matters in the big picture (answer: not Michael Jackson’s death)."
