Dr. Horrible – the horrifying math

July 24th, 2008

I only call the math horrifying because I still panic when presented with simple math equations.

As I previously mentioned, Joss Whedon’s online experiment Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog is a hit.

Now someone has been nice enough to answer the age-old question “But how do we monetize this?”

Jeffrey McManus did some math on the distribution model for Whedon’s blog experiment, and while he admits it’s just an estimate, the video’s success “could signal the beginning of the end of television as the medium of the least-common-denominator and the beginning of the profitable niche market.”

    Thanks for the link! I too am a believer that Math is Hard(tm) which is why I rely upon a bunch of spreadsheets and other computer accouterments to keep my life in order. :)
