Just heard about Sentenc.es – A Disciplined Way To Deal With Email. Not sure if I have that in me, but it is certainly an interesting idea.
The gist is, you make the pledge to yourself, and then include the link to the appropriate subdomain in your sig file, so people will know and not get [...]

The Dream Cafe folks, with whom I’ve been collaborating on an exploration of the effect of new technologies on storytelling, have a blog series on 21st Century Business Models for Artists that is quite edifying to read.

I’ve become a podcast fanatic.
In Episode 12 of Focus Ring, there is a really interesting conversation about the McNugget-style layout of image sharing sites like Flickr and Deviant Art: namely, every image is presented to you as a thumbnail before you can find the larger version.

ThinkGeek :: Pirate vs Ninja Batteries

Podcasting goodness from CAR, forwarded to me a while ago. This is a fairly clunky copy/paste from the email, which contained many broken links. Hopefully, I’ve managed to successfully edit those dead links out without any html errors.
