  1. Is modern web design too like print design?

    I’ve been wondering whether we’ve lost the “webness” of web design, whether it’s all too dull and influenced by print design.

  1. 1995 & 1998

  2. Basic Maths and Seed Conference

  3. Some GeoCities pages

  4. HotWired front page

  5. The first web page

Links

  1. Royal Society - Trailblazing

    A little thin in content so far, and overly flashy for me, and the original articles are all but hidden. But otherwise a good start on making this old material more accessible.

  2. Mr Bojangles: Worshipping workshops

    I enjoy brainstorming workshoppy things but they always feel like a sport that I’m doing badly at, watching the sporty boys have fun.

  3. Cormac McCarthy on The Road - WSJ.com

    All good, but mainly for “I hear people talking about going on a vacation or something and I think, what is that about? … My perfect day is sitting in a room with some blank paper … That’s gold and anything else is just a waste of time.”

    I am, right now, entirely caught up and on schedule with the maths (modelling with sequences). I even understand bits of it.

    @spaceboy I keep meaning to start a page keeping track of people who didn't do [their amazing thing] until they were quite old. For comfort.

    @blech I figured out it must be something along those lines, but wasn't sure exactly. Ta.
