I have recently become a fan of Merlin Mann’s web show You Look Nice Today.
The guys on the show have invented a new dance. Adam Lisgar demonstrates below.

When I went over to the Globe and Mail today, I was greeted by a pop up announcing the paper had unlocked a bunch of its content. The ad itself was a slow-marquee-type-ad that reveals its message only if you sit there and watch it — the kind of ad they tell you to avoid [...]
When I was out and about last week, a friend produced Claudia Dey’s Stunt from her handbag. She raved about it. I stared back blankly. Never heard of it. Then a profile of Dey appeared in the paper today. I am intrigued.

From today’s Globe & Mail…Faulks wrote Devil May Care in just six weeks.
“That was the biggest danger,” he says, “that this would become just a pastiche of a character and a genre that’s already close to self-parody. I had to be very careful to make it Ian Fleming, and yet pull up in some way [...]
I attended the Mesh Conference (#MESH08) last week. As expected, it left me with a lot to think about. I am a little late to the game with this recap, but here are my thoughts.

I have a Tina-Fey-level crush on Nora Young –in a respectful way of course. I was disappointed to miss her at the MESH conference last week, but was delighted to hear her on the radio talking publishing 2.0 with Malle Vallik. For the record Vallik was Nora’s guest. I don’t listen to the radio [...]
What can I possible say about a play whose run ends in three days? After reading the reviews from a reportedly rocky opening night, I am tempted to try and defend it. Not much point in that, really. The highschool kids I saw it with yesterday all got it, so I think the critical reception [...]
I loved one reaction I heard on The 404 in connection to the just announced download kiosks at Blockbuster stores– “Hey kids, get in the car. We are driving to the internet.”
HMV seemingly also has a sneakernet concept store on the way.
This all makes me think of when I worked at Indigo and we pulled [...]
