Paul Ford,
in his great Ftrain.com: The Mechanical End.
If you were going to compile a historical list of the top 10 examples of writing that is native to the web, Ftrain.com would certainly be somewhere near the top of the list. What other sites would be on the list?
Well, they’ve gone and done it.
NYTimes.com to Offer Subscription Service. They’re putting MORE stuff behind a pay wall, not less. Discouraging, and I think penny wise but pound foolish. And I guess this voids Times’ pretensions as an organ devoted (partially) to serving the public interest.
Canadian politics is
often boring, usually as surprising as the sunrise, and there is a distinct lack of accountability in the whole system. But – when something does happen, boy does it ever HAPPEN. This morning, Belinda Stronach crossed the floor and joined the Liberal cabinet.
Zeke has some words
today about the installation of Maman by Louise Bourgeois at the National Gallery in Ottawa. Today’s post is a followup on his post on Wednesday, which correctly called into question the competence of bureaucrats who issued a press release on the installation of such a work after Mother’s Day – among other things.
Competency questions aside, I can’t wait to see the new sculpture. I lived about a block away from the Gallery for almost 4 years in the early 90s and the space that Maman will occupy has always screamed out for a major, large-scale installation. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to see it soon, as our new house is just 1 km away from the Gallery.
