I love the shapes it does. Techno-Abstract art.
I used a javascript thing I found via Google reader that tracks the movement of your mouse on the screen. I’m not sure what the dots mean. It might be where I have left the cursor.. or maybe it’s clicks? I think it’s a bit of both.

Typegeeks joke. LOL.
In the past few weeks The Guardian has published a few articles that I generally refer to as ‘Our Digital Future’. These are important takes on the future of digital consumption, archiving, and rules, which, in my opinion, everyone should read and consider.
Cory Doctorow tells us that… the corporation is endangering its own future by letting the Hollywood studios set the rules for its HD broadcasts.
Steve Plunkett explains how milestones such as Project Canvas will bring together broadcast television and online media.
Victor Keegan on The issue of copyright is a global nightmare for anyone interested in digital preservation.
and also:
Cory Doctorow asks in part 2 of his article: Is crippling our sets, and handing over our cultural regulation to a foreign cartel, the best way to get viewers switched on to high-definition?
*** Update: a new article has been added.
John Naughton writes in The Observer:
The web may be global but sovereign states still make up the rules.
– Let me know what you think.

A great conceptual campaign by Aten Design Group. Self promotion in an almost genius way:
Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc. Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as “IE6,” is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.
Funeral services for Internet Explorer Six will be held at 7pm on March 4 at Aten Design Group, 1629 Downing Street, Denver, CO 80218. Those unable to attend the funeral are asked to send flowers.

Just got the Special 30th Birthday Anniversary issue of Creative Review with a printed replica of their first ever issue, Spring 1980.
That’s a great way to celebrate!
While some publishers have concerns over Apple’s business model regarding print media on the iPad, one magazine that’s embracing the future with open arms is Wired.
Recently, Wired Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson called the iPad a “game changer”, and the folks there have been working hard to develop a more interactive version of the magazine that will hopefully be ready to go in time for the iPad launch.
