The Atlantic, and has some interesting observations, eg: "MindManager's intellectual effect seems the opposite of PowerPoint's." And the headline writer got my attention.

ajax: a new approach to web applications
This essay by Jesse James Garrett attempts to crystallize the client-centered architecture for Web application exemplified by Google maps, etc: a Javascript client core application + asynchronous messages to a server. I've seen this essay cited a couple of times already. It's close to the top of my Furl recommendations, fwiw.
First Post
I heard that there is a new blog created every 5.8 seconds. So I figured it must be my turn.
Sometimes I see interesting things that I'd like to share with people. So rather than send them via email (and have to deal with questions like who gets what, etc.), I'm going to try to blog them here.
If you find these links interesting, then subscribe via
our Atom feed. Both Firefox and
Bloglines both seem to be able to discover this feed automatically.
I'll send out an announcement of the blog to a few folks, and see what happens.
