I went by a website that used to showcase a dozen ways that European types weren’t quite up-to-date about how to present stuff on the web. That’s changed – the Financial Times website is fantastic. All free – and no reg – the best journalism you’ll find in the world outside of the NYTimes or the Economist – it’s all good. And they toned it down – they used to use their trademark orange as the bgcolor to every page.

In related news: Looks OK, but it’s barely functional. If it looked spectacular that’d be one thing – but on my peppy little frankenstein monster of a computer on ADSL, it doesn’t cut it. Someone at Wallpaper* bought the line that goes, “web design sucks… here, use this all-flash interface.”

I rilly rilly love Tom Tomorrow.

The New York Times has published an excellent story summing up the many issues surrounding privacy on the net, by Jeffrey Rosen.

to the site tonight. I’ve finally put up some of the older long-ish pieces I had included at my old editthispage weblog. These are available under the new “words” link over there to the left. As well, I’ve added links to each of the old blog entries at mikel.editthispage.com, so everything can now be reached directly through here. This is good, and it was surprisingly simple to do although the solution isn’t the most elegant one in the world.
