""Pirates of the Amazon" was an artistic parody, part of our media research and education at the Media Design M.A. course at the Piet Zwart Institute of the Willem de Kooning Academy Hogeschool Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It was a practical experiment on interface design, information access and currently debated issues in media culture. We were surprised by the attentions and the strong reactions this project received. Ultimately, the value of the project lies in these reactions. It is a ready-made and social sculpture of contemporary internet user culture. "

(dutch) Trend die zeer zeker niet specifiek is voor de corporate website, maar iets is dat we al een aantal jaar kunnen signaleren met de opkomst van widgets en het Web 2.0 principe van "Data als de nieuwe Intel Inside": "De gedachte van een portal waar traffic naartoe moet worden geleid, maakt plaats voor de gedachte dat je moet zijn waar de doelgroep is. De corporate website versplintert en men zal de komende jaren meer en meer zien dat kernfuncties buiten de eigen websiteomgeving te gebruiken zijn. Daar waar de aanwezigheid op het web nu is beperkt tot de eigen website, zullen er meer en meer ‘outposts’ op het web worden gecreëerd door bedrijven."

"If you attempt to use a 24-bit translucent PNG image as a background image or as an <IMG/> element's SRC attribute, IE6 yields an unsightly grey (sometimes greenish) background behind the image's translucent colors. Using the MSIE AlphaImageLoader filter to fix the grey background issue renders both background-repeat and background-position unusable! This script reclaims all your background positioning controls by avoiding AlphaImageLoader, AND fixes the grey background issue!"

"In many of my columns, I have touted the importance of persuasive, or influential, content and shared relevant theories and arguments, sprinkling in some practical tips and examples along the way. This column brings together a collection of practical tips, or recipes, for persuasive content. " Note how the article itself is also very persuasive and uses its own tips. Very nice!

In my folder of shame outside the blogging content on the top of my list still is: reading, not scanning ‘GTD’… ffs being ill for a few days hasn’t even improved that score. Still 2 days to go befor I plan to go back to work, but I’m afraid the new Amazon order might come in by then… grrr… I do find Basecamp has helped me a great deal in actually gtd!
ps: I do like your article on WISYWIG editors! No suggestions there for me and thankx for not letting that one linger in your ‘folder of shame’
