FTAA news in the coming weeks, the Montreal Gazette has (of course) devoted a special section of its site to the event, which is coming up quickly. The quality of the Gazoo’s coverage is likely to be pretty good at best – except that one of their columnists will be a must-read. Lyle Stewart has been covering this sort of thing for most of his career, and more than anyone locally (in French or English) has developed the story over the past few years at both the Gazette and Hour, a weekly for whom he used to write.
The New York Times asks
the question in an article today: Just Who Brought Those Duds to Market?.
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
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
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.
