The Perfect Story

Great stories aren’t great because of their telling. They’re great because of what they don’t tell. Or wait to tell later.
Such stories have a focal point based on principles. The principles are displayed in the values and message of a story. When you stick to your principles, there’s no need to go into a lot [...]

Bringing Parts of the Physical World into the Digital World

I love this kind of stuff. It shows the power of human ingenuity, but also, just how close we are to merging what used to be thought of as the physical world with that of the mental world, or imagination.

The Missing Google Wave Manuals

I’ve been a bit harsh on the way Google Wave was launched, but I stand by the comments.

TechCrunch Crunchies: Who Deserved to Win, Who Should Have Won, and WTF
