Here’s my old place in Hobart. I can’t make out whether the poster in the right window contains Voltron or Optimus Prime.
Either way, that’s the good shit.

I wrote to Senator Conroy about the whole filtering thing in… January, was it? It was about the whole content filtering bollocks, and how I didn’t like how his use of language in some of his speeches about it basically implied that anyone who’s against it is OBVIOUSLY some kind of porn fiend.

Hello Adobe,
Yes, we all know how special and wondrous CS 3 is. We also know that if you’re serious about design etc then you’ll be using a Creative Suite and not some $30 piece of shareware, which is fine and fair enough too.
That DOESN’T make it OK for you and your hubris to impose [...]
MySpace is not a blog. Facebook is not a blog.
A website in general is not necessarily a blog.
Forum threads and replies are not a blog.
Commenters on a blog are not in fact bloggers themselves (this means YOU: Age, SMH)
Just because it’s on the internet, doesn’t make it a blog.
Blog blog blog blog blog blog.
Blog blog.

How lovely, you have a shiny new Mac and I’m sure you’re finding all kinds of wonderful new surprises and things that don’t work the way you expected. So you shoot your mouth off at work/on a blog/on twitter/something else about how such-and-such is broken or doesn’t work or whatever.
Let me let you in on [...]

With thanks to stilgherrian for the heads up:
Australia 2020, the meeting of the best and brightests whatever in our great wide brown whatever. It has a big pile of submissions. It has no text search that searches the fucking things. For real. Try out the ’site search’ for the word ‘imperative.’ It [...]

And now, a short message from the Open and Closed Project:
I shall presume it is an April Fool’s Day gag that the homepage I saw on Sunday is set in Comic Sans.*

There must be something in the water because a few people I’m reading seem to have had something to say recently about interface elements confusing people.
Confusing Interaction from Nathanael Boehm
Forget Select - it is Browse, Browse, Browse from Gary Barber
Nick Cowie’s response, The select element, a tale from my past
None of this should really be [...]
