The famous

Bathroom Bolshevik poster is available for sale online! Except that it’s not humour, it was a serious ad. I’ve seen the original, lovingly preserved, at my friend Kurt’s.

Back again.

April 26, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Philadelphia was actually quite nice, although I didn’t get downtown. But I saw our office there for the first time, which is someplace called… ummm… “Manayunk”.

  • The new Megnut looks great – very subdued but with nice touches like the little line connecting the menu item to the main content area. [I’m on a mac, btw]
  • It’s good to read that Heather is slowly on the mend.
  • David seems to be a little unsure of things.
  • Jish is still away.

On one hand, he’s right – there is a lot of crappy design around. But at the same time, it’s terribly obvious he hasn’t looked hard for the gems. Of which there are many. Or – even worse – it may be that his aesthetic and design sense are so entrenched in non-wired worlds that he doesn’t really understand modern web design.

And that stuff about “the Internet is not a venue for storytelling” is just sad.
