And the same in text form, with all of the talk's images nicely accessible:

And, from the same author, a short article about the fear of flying:

Edit: For some reason the forum tries to embed the Vimeo link, so I had to disable it. :( Just remove the space character after copy and paste.

I read a bit of the text article, diagonaly, funny topic.

What I noticed with recent websites is that they're now made with high level editors that have no shame putting a ton of useless stuff in the metadata for tracking, advertisement and customization purpose...

Hand-made pages are a thing of the past.

The Website Obesity Crisis

 

9.600baud was once enuff, nowadays anything below 2MB/sec is obsolete.

 

Bigger faster better than... It's still this Zeitgeist driving most of us showing many different flowers of questionable worth.... Aka timeless anchor

 

People should read more Schopenhauer ;)

Yeah, why don't we go back to writing everything in Assembler? 512k is enough for every instruction set, right? :)

Ah, the sweet irony. :D

 

Edit: Not that i'm actually opposed to reducing bloat of any kind, just so there's no misunderstandings. ;)
