Wednesday short notes
August 22nd, 2007
Someone yelled at me on e-mail that i have a curiously sweet technorati ranking, but that i don’t link out to very many websites, which he didn’t think was very nice. I recently discovered a sports website called truehoop, that does link roundups in a way that doesn’t suck, so I’ll give it a spin. Here’s hoping links from me aren’t the kiss of traffic death.
- Love for IE4. One of the developers of Firefox, Joe Hewitt, has this nice post about the role Internet Explorer 4.0 played in innovation and how the i-phone deserves a positive comparison to it, in response to Wired’s critical comparison.
- Google launches video ads in Google. This report suggests that Google will have semi-transparent ads that appear at the bottom of you-tube videos. I think we all knew this was coming.
- Steve McConnell has a software development blog. I guess I’m finally out from under my rock, McConnell, one of the greatest writers on software development, has been writing a blog since March.
- Edward De Bono, author of many good books on creative thinking, has this short gem about the conflict between logical thinking organizations and creativity.
- Fun design blog round-up. I haven’t been writing much about design these days, but I still read. Core77 is a favorite, with short punchy design news and commentary. If you want to feel better about your own team’s design incompetence, flip through Mark Hurst’s this is broken (the great archive is there, but the blog has moved here).

Aaaah - there we go. Second time is the charm.
Hi Scott
Can’t get into your forums so I thought I’d reply with something that may cheer you up. I’ve compiled a list of rules for managers - the polite version. 15 to be exact.

I look forward to your comments.
