Don Norman on the UI generation gap. I was just as he described at 15, and I’m just as he expects as I near 30. Dead on.
Why does Dean Allen insist on repeatedly ripping into James Lileks? Is the writing that abominable? Is there an unspoken personal vendetta?
Perhaps this continues the longstanding tradition of public literary jabs thrown by authors with no love lost, but the tone of these posts can make a reader cringe. One cannot help but focus on the highly personal undercurrent of Allen’s posts, which turn his criticism into the equivalent of poking an index finger into his target’s chest. Each new post makes Textism that much less enticing, which is a shame, because he is usually an enjoyable and entertaining writer.

Newly launched: Gawker, a weblog finely tuned to the pace of New York City, covering art, commerce, shopping, trends, and that most important city standard, gossip.

Textile by Dean Allen. “A humane web text generator.”
And to think I’d finally memorized —.
I always liked the Yahoo directory tree. In this space in the past I have lamented the continuing destressing of the Yahoo directory in favor of more profitable, and cluttered, services.
Happy as a clam I am to now have a direct destination for Yahoo Directory. Does anyone know whether Yahoo is keeping its records up to date anymore? (via Anil)
