  1. the bike moves fast once you get on it.
  2. @victoria_potter and presumably ... never let go?
  3. @victoria_potter just watch out for sacha cohen in a velcro suit.
  4. @rainzine skytrain chainsaw massacre part 7?
  5. er, until only recently *couldn't* see into. (and then there's content strategy. see?)
  6. but doing that without upsetting anything that's already there is a very delicate endeavour which until only recently i could see into.
  7. @camcavers the task everything is hinging on for my site is converting it to an RDF back end and semantic-webbing the living crap out of it.
  8. @camcavers it also doesn't help to be a complete data/web wonk, plus wanting to do original engineering. too many hats.
  9. @camcavers yeah my site is totally garbage right now. i've been meaning to do an IA/IxD treatment to it for over a year.
  10. i'm sitting here doodling up some screens for some internal work on paper wondering why i didn't do this months ago.

  15. icons are horrible nasty little things. no sense in squinting at a 16x16 picture wondering what it is. make a unique symbol language.
  16. RT @Punchcut Overheard in the office: We're trying to do too much with icons… Sometimes a word is worth a thousand pictures. [Ed. baha]
  17. @gregeh 6.5 words: you can't do that on television.
  18. i was just thinking about how webrings were proto-blogger-bling. also the dznr sitelets back in 98-99 with their monochrome affiliate logos.
  19. @pixagen blog comments are great aren't they.
  20. steganography is the new old new cryptography: http://bit.ly/BsRhk (via @gridinoc, @bsletten)
