Joel lays out a very nice piece on encoding that drives home one point very clearly, "There Ain't No Such Thing As Plain Text." He also provides some supporting facts, which makes it all the more fun. Enjoy.
I *love* the idea that militant usability experts are scraping terribly designed web sites to present the information in a more pleasant way. Can't you just see Alan Cooper in a beret? : )
Roy Osherove wrote a component for turning web sites into RSS feeds, then starting taking requests for web sites that don't have RSS feeds. He even put up a couple just for me. Thanks, Roy.
Don and I send out a video of a toast to a newly married couple. We get back their reactions via video. Not as nice as real-time, but I don't get overseas much, so still very cool. You gotta love the Internet!
These are pictures from a video wedding toast we did for a pair of fans (both the husband and the wife!). Tim Ewald is the camera man and I'm sure he's wincing as much as Don Box and I are during this kiss...
