I think planes should come with personal recorders in each seat so in the event of an impending crash, the passengers have a chance to save their parting message into the black box.
Processing guru, Robert Hodgin (Flight404) writes up the history of his flight 404 website, detailing his inspirations, changes during the dotcom / flash era, and experimental concepts resulting in a $3000 server bill, what appears to be one of the first instances of an alternate reality game, and an interview with the NY Times.
I will say that i’ll miss the days of a purely conceptual website, maintained for fun, delving into the experimental graphic and programming nature of flash, catering only to the whims of the author, with no regard or care for accessibility. Just pure unadulterated digital creation.
These days appear to be gone now, or perhaps I dont hang out in the same digital circles, now it seems i’m stuck flicking through portfolios of wonder-kids digitally letter-pressing their way onto my rss feed and into design jobs.
