Notes for 3/30/2008

Here are my weekly notes:

  • Didn’t have the most productive day today, but it was nice and relaxing. Sharon and I had to get out of the house so we went on a photowalk downtown. Here are our pictures. I recently got a new battery for my Digital Rebel, so I took that.
  • The Logos of Web2.0 – really interesting post on fonts and designs!
  • There’s nothing new in this Wired article for Ray Kurzweil fans such as myself, but it’s still a decent read.
  • Funniest article ever! From a 1995 issue of Newsweek – “Hype alert: Why cyberspace isn’t, and will never be, nirvana”. It has some great quotes like this one: “Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.”
  • Both Sharon and Dickson have mentioned this blog to me: Stuff White People Like. Funny because it’s true!
  • Apple wasn’t alone in it’s EULA snafu – Google also has strange terms. Techdirt has a good article on both stories.
  • Save the Developers! Stop Using Internet Explorer 6!
  • Another great article, this one from 1968 – What will life be like in the year 2008? This guy actually got some things right!

  1. That old Newsweek article gave me quite the laugh when I read it last week.

    Stuff White People Like is hilarious, and the creator of the site just signed a 6-figure book deal for more of the same (some of it will be pulled straight from the blog, but apparently at least 60% is going to be new, original material).

  2. Mack,

    You never let us down by finding some very interesting articles to read.

    Keep up the good work!
