tools and monkeys

In regards to bad design is good, peterme shot me a note asking I look at the first 99% bad post that restarted the flash holy war, and he was right. It's a well thought out bit of reasoning. I also want to point to Don Norman great post on "Nielsen Norman Group's Compelling Reasons to Use Flash"

don't blame the tool, baby.

dots are the new swoosh

Gabe -- my partner at www.carboniq.com -- and I were walking along and we saw yet another logo comprised of a grid of dots with a couple of the dots smooshing into each other.They look to be the new swoosh, which is what drew me to this article. Anyow, at the risk of getting slammed with a zillion logos, I'd love it if folks sent examples... sapient is the only example I could find off the top of my head, even though their dots are a bit squarish. So mail me!
