tomorrow here in Montreal, and the beer tent is just around the corner from my place so I expect to be going by quite a bit in the next week or so. If you’re curious, they have a really nice website this year, design by Black Eye, development by the good people at Plank Design.

Web aficionados everywhere
will join me in congratulating Heather on 5 years of Jezebel. Newbies may be interested in checking out the Jezebel time line to learn that yes, there is hope. As well, it strikes me that Heather herself has made the perfect means of congratulating her: send a Jezebel postcard!
It’s the most beautiful
weekend yet this summer here in Montreal, but alas I’ve been pretty much tied to my desk, other than meeting with a friend of mine for breakfast this morning. The choice came down to the following question: do I do the work that’s been languishing in various folders on my machine all at once and get it done, or do I put it off in favour of a great weekend and then fret about it for weeks or months, possibly ruining a good portion of the summer? So I came down on the side of the future, I voted for the potential of the entire summer rather than one glorious weekend.
More truth-telling
from Mr. Zeldman in The End of the World As We Know It: “The Web is not in trouble. Big businesses are, when they think they can own or master it.
Bye-bye, Big Content. Adieu, global agencies. Thanks for stopping by. Now step away, and let those whove always understood this medium take it where it needs to.”
The official word
(no pun intended) from Steven Johnson and Stefanie Syman has been published: Feed On Ice: A Word to Our Readers, and there’s a thread in which people may comment as well.
