· The Art & Science of Web Design by Jeffrey VeenI didn't want to write a reference manual for a Web technology. Nor did I want to write a step-by-step tutorial or design tips and tricks. This book is a guide to help you think like a Web designer. It offers solutions to the problems we face every day on the Web. And it will give you the foundation you need to create smart and effective sites.

For those reasons, I'm a much larger proponent of seeing the methodologies and techniques of today's Information Architects trickle down to Web designers and developers, rather than ensconce itself as a tight community.

· Hypertext Europe Poland Mariusz Pisarski sends word of a watershed: Liternet, the first conference in Poland on the Internet, new media, blogs and hypertext was held in Cracow earlier this month. A book of the proceedings will be published in September. Russia The recent fire in Moscow's television tower has left Moscow without television for the past week -- perhaps the first time a major city has gone without TV entirely for such a long period since 1960. An interesting social experiment!
· stating the obvious :: Just One Question for Jeffrey Veen :: Mar 24 2000 Apps like Firefly turned into match-making services. Since they couldn't provide the immediate gratification of providing the music, they took the only step they could: The system would introduce you to people with similar interests. Well, I guess that's cool. But how much time do any of us really need to spend in chat rooms with people just like ourselves?
