huh. expanding shirky's article about newspapers to the whole goddamn economy. I'd been thinking myself that it applies to a lot of large-scale institutions.

I think this is a co-project of dylan & featherstone.

with a typo, alas. on a more serious note, for me this is the end of an era, and I'm sad to see it go. (ALA, DW, webmonkey, and evolt: the touchstones of my early web-design days.)

"when my response to trying something new and scary went from “why should I?” to “why not?” — my life got about 100,000 times better than it was before." need to remember that myself, often.
