I’ve been too busy lately and many things suffered as a consequence, writing being one of them. This is not a complaint, since I mostly had fun doing what I did, but it is becoming obvious that too much fun can kill you too. Anyhow, this is not a post discussing woes many would love to have. It’s a short list of ideas and thoughts that occurred to me recently, which I don’t have time to really think through or didn’t want to commit to Twitter ‘s transient stream:

• I got a spam comment offering to kill a competitor’s website for 70$ per day of downtime. It looked genuine enough to be a truly depressing comment on web’s fragility.
• “Does he have a Facebook account?” seems to be the most succinct way of learning person’s outlook on privacy issues.
• Democracy is a terrible way of solving important problems fast. Or solving them at all. However it does provide us with our share of blame.
• I can’t wait to see what Nokia RX-51/N900 will really bring. Here is one reason why. Building on a closed platform is investing in a lottery ticket.
• Alex Russel’s Some Orthodox Heresies sums my view of HTML5 better than I ever could. Hard to disagree with his other points too.
