wrote an excellent letter describing the latest design decisions at Salon. Yes, they ditched some of the new “features”.
C|Net ran a story
yesterday on a new genre of search engine being developed under the name InfraSearch. It’s just a bare-bones proof of concept now, but the idea is very exciting. They’re moving everything out to the periphery, away from the center. Centrifugal, not centripetal like client/server. Relationships, not just information. Very very cool.
OK, the letter
that Tom quotes in Barbelith is way too funny.
I watched
a documentary tonight called The Source. It was very very good in many ways, and although to a great extent I’ve gotten over my young man’s fascination with Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and the rest, I still believe them to be absolutely central to a lot of what we consider “contemporary” North American culture – including “digital culture”. You can draw a straight line, for instance, from Kerouac to the EFF, and it’s not that long a line (Kerouac — Cassidy — Garcia/Weir — Barlow).
Note to Ed:
with respect to cdnnet.ca – don’t bother. It’s far, far more trouble than it’s worth to register a .ca or even a .qc.ca domain. Believe me, I’ve tried, and every time went back to the trusty old xxxcanada.com/.net/.org. It’s a big problem in Canada, in my opinion. You essentially have to hold a Canadian trademark before they’ll consider it for a .ca name.
