The Impact of Communication Systems
Ray Ozzie has an interesting ramble on the impact of communication systems on him and his family. The most interesting thing from my perspective is the idea that his kids don’t use e-mail. They prefer Instant Messaging. I guess I’m old-school this way. I embrace e-mail almost to the point of compulsion (also covered in…

Typofabrik
Typofabrik is a beautifully designed web site. I’ve been clicking around for the past 5 minutes, and can’t figure out if there’s any content worth reading or not (confusing IA), but it sure is nice to look at.

Yet Another Mad Genius
Let me tell you there are people out there who have some time. Not to mention beautiful, wacked out imaginations.

Must. Resist. Urge.
I must resist the urge to buyThis. I mean come on: A wimpy remake of an already anemic movie (the 1947 Rita Hayworth vehicle Down to Earth), this glitzy musical from 1980 improbably stars Olivia Newton-John as a heavenly muse sent here to help open a roller-derby disco. I don’t even want the thing. I…
