Diversions 111

  • The Long Now Foundation
    Every now and then, you discover something ridiculously good and wonder how you’ve not managed to find it before. This is one of those things (thanks Sophie). I’ve only listened to two of the podcasts so far, but both were first-class. Firstly, the ridiculously talented Steven Johnson talks about long zoom thinking and references some of his exquisitely crafted books. Secondly, Will Wright and Brian Eno collaborate — or should I say chat — about generative systems, and the eagerly awaited Spore.
  • Fluid
    I’m always intrigued by apps that break the traditional browser model. Actually, I’m not sure ‘intrigue’ is the right word. It’s part trepidation, part excitement and then a sense that this is probably a sign of things to come.
  • Link to a specific point on Google Video
    This is old, but still useful. Love the way, it’s handled in the URL.
  • Feltron Eight
    Another year, another brilliant piece of design from Feltron.
  • There’s only one Barack Obama
    Who would have guessed it? Barack Obama is a hammer! This is the last time I link to The Sun (honest).
