At Google today you’ll notice

a special logo honouring Frank Lloyd Wright, who was born on this day in 1867. If you don’t go by today, you can likely check it out on their Holiday logo page. You can recognize Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum in the logo, among others.

Launched June 2:

CBC Radio 3 Podcasts, “Radio 3’s podcast is truly unique: it’s full of amazing, 100% Canadian music from new and emerging artists. It’s great news for music fans and it’s even better news for independent Canadian musicians. We are extremely excited about the potential for exposing Canadian artists to a wider international audience with this new technology.”

I forgot to post about it the other day,

but Tom Coates continues to do some of the heavy thinking required to consider some of the recent innovations in new-ish webstuff. This time it’s about tagging: Two cultures of fauxonomies collide. What’s refreshing about Coates’ writing is that while it’s not academic in nature (much more accessible and not nearly as onanistic as much of the academic work in the domain), neither is it obsessed with the commercial side of things – his posts aren’t about the next business model or monetizing X or Y.

The most interesting part

June 6, 2005 by Michael Boyle

The most interesting part

of today’s announcements from Apple at the WWDC is buried in most stories. In the News.com story linked above it doesn’t come out until the end of the second page. To wit, Phil Schiller has said that there won’t be anything done to prevent someone from running Windows on an Intel-Apple box. At the same time, Apple’s still a hardware company, so you can be sure that Tiger/Leopard will only work on Apple boxes. What that means, potentially, is that if you buy an Apple machine you can run whatever you want – Linux, OS X, or Windows – whereas if you buy a random-PC-manufacturer’s box you’d be restricted to Windows and/or Linux. Sounds like a pretty good strategy to me.
