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!














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).
That’s really interesting, I had no idea! I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. Thanks!
Mack,
You never let us down by finding some very interesting articles to read.
Keep up the good work!
