My friend Jonathan Peterson recently started a new blog called Amateur Hour, meant for folks who create digital media for love rather than money.
The term amateur, Latin for “one who loves”, has taken on the unfortunate connotation of un-professional or sloppy. But there is no better term for the rise of media content created with no reward beyond the basic human desire to create.
Amateur Hour will feature information (and occasionally interviews) meant to help enthusiasts use and share their creative energies.
