Michael Boyle's weblog
into my brain today. I too share his fears (really, I’ve been thinking about both things in recent days), especially the one about Britney. And he’s also right about Barry Lyndon, which is a stunning movie. I’m guessing he viewed a better print than I saw (I’ve heard good prints of Kubrick movies are hard to find, that average rep houses don’t usually get them).
Trust me, by the way, that my updates here won’t be quite this uninteresting all the time. Please.
the most interesting things late at night when one has no business doing so. So here I am, sitting at my computer post-bar, pre-bedtime, reading some nice personal websites. And I follow the link that Jason Kottke has put up to his earliest “daily website” or weblog entry from three years ago. And I find that but days after he started, he made a very pithy comment about the state of the web at that time – and if anything it’s even worse now (if hypertext = better and pseudo-hypertext = worse). I among hundreds of others have made the same comment, both before and after he did. But one of the nice things about the weblog format is that you can date a comment and fix it in time – something that’s hard to do in with quite the same certainty as in a weblog.
: Jason Kottke digs up the history of Yahoo, prompted by Tom’s rundown of Yahoo’s history late last week.
what if you could travel in time? Back or forward? What if you could only go once?
font designer myself (though mostly lapsed – I haven’t made a new one in over 2 yrs). I was really pleased to see Lines & Splines. [I got here via kottke.org]
