Web Trends 2009
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Nope, not a post-2012 tube map, but another visualisation. This is “Web Trends 2009″. It’s huge. The state of the Internet according to information architects, Information Architects.

Friday, May 15th, 2009“There’s toys in their millions, all under one roof [in this bonkers visualisation from Wired magazine].”

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Yahoo! pulls the plug on Web 1.0 icon Geocities; The Onion makes a joke about it. (No shortage of material with good ol’ Geocities.)

Bleepin’
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Five more minutes of fun from three computing hall-o’-famers. First up, a Commodore 64 laptop, faithful right down to torturous loading times.
More 8-bit revivalism — a happy mash-up of NES audio output and Rock Band rhythm game.
Last up is this creaking pastiche of MS-DOS (for an agency that traded in rubbishing said OS back in the day).
