- The expanding MetaFilter. To paraphrase you-know-who… it’s a platform!
- My friend Buffy’s article about Médecins sans frontières in Outpost magazine.
- O’Meara’s always engaging (and True) pile of words in Locals at Large: You’ve quit your job, you’ve been on a bender for two weeks and you and everybody you know have been circling each other like hungry dogs in the coliseum of love. In other words, it’s spring in Montreal.

I just got around
to reading the Feed piece by Julien Dibbell about Jorn Barger. One of the things mentioned are “Wunderkammer” – European curiosity cabinets. That’s kind of odd, because one of our designers, Gilles, is doing his PhD dissertation on ‘cabinets de curiosits’ – wunderkammer. Weird coincidence.

OK I’m not much of a designer – hardly at all, in fact. Nor am I much of a coder. But I’m officially coding for food.

I’m going to do updates and random work in exchange for dinner for 2 once a month.
