    Suddenly, the next two weeks are chock full of exciting things.

  7. Week 347

    Maybe we should replace commenting on popular websites with letters’ pages.

  10. News week, day 1

    Frustrated after only one day of this news project.

  11. Next week’s news

    What I plan to do next week: write a weekly news website.

  12. Small publishers of news

    Wondering whether there’s a future for small publishers of news.

  13. Looking for news

    Why I don’t read, watch or listen to any news, which isn’t a good thing.

    Reserving a few weeks to work on my own projects.

  15. Week 344

    Getting stuck into Django by starting a new personal project.

    Finishing Misfits, learning Django, turning down work.

  25. Making news easier to read online

    The New York Times Skimmer is an improvement over most newspaper websites, but it’s not there yet.
