Among the non-disturbing items, a notebook from Yahoo, portable memory from saturn, a wine key from menage a toi...

SXSW is being formatted...
Posted in :: Apropos of Nothing ::

2007 SXSW Interactive Panel Proposal Picker (Round One)

It's vote time! Get out there and vote (preferrably for "Design and Business: Practical Tips for Using design to Define and Realize Business Value" and "Just Get It Up There: New Tools and Methods for Online Publishing"

Of course it's just a popularity contest, but I rather hope something I'm on gets picked so I have a good excuse to attend and write it off....

Smart use of media
Posted in :: Business ::

Amazon has done it again-- on the page for Amazon.com: Omnivore's Dilemma: Books they have placed an interview with the author, Michael Pollan. Teetering on the edge of buying yet another food book, the engaging arguments in the video tip me over.

If you are feeling a bit suspicious of the food industry, or more importantly, if you feel good about yourself becuase you eat organic, read New Yorker article Paradise Sold, which mercifully is still up on the site.
