Holy shit

. Joey Ramone is dead. Damn that’s sad. Like countless others my age, the Ramones and Joey in particular were huge. I’ll have to call my brother in NY and have him go and put a flower down somewhere for me.

Via Zeldman

April 12, 2001 by Michael Boyle

Via Zeldman I came across a wonderful little tutorial about website production. It’s very good, although it does diverge somewhat from my usual path. The divergence mostly has to do with the fact that I generally have started on projects prior to the point where the article picks things up. For large projects, much of the early “production” work – the content definition and sourcing, preliminary architecture issues, and basic site organization comes in the proposal phase, when the goal is to do as much as you can to keep the whole thing as a mental, and flowcharted, model – because if nothing has been signed, you want to keep expenses down. More or less.

There’s an article

April 10, 2001 by Michael Boyle

by Brad King in Wired News today that invokes that old bugaboo convergence in its title (Subscribing to Convergence Theory), but then implicitly redefines (or inches in that direction) ‘convergence’ such that it is hardly recognizable. The ‘classic’ idea of convergence might be called the single box model – in other words, media pipes will eventually converge in one box that serves as the delivery medium. King’s article discusses convergence as something quite different – and some might say antithetical to the ‘classic’ model. It’s interesting to think of convergence – which I’ve long maintained is a bankrupt, counter-factual concept, as something defined at the level of content, rather than delivery.

the second article in Mitchell Stephens’ series, “This is Planet Earth.” It’s called The Three Stooges Play Zunil, and while it more closely follows the “traditional” arc of such stories, it’s still interesting and refreshing.
