I blog from the air. It’s a slow journey to the location-free, time-free lifestyle I imagined when I was a kid. The technology that enables it is falling into place, though. In the late 1970s, submitting work from an airplane to clients in two states was not possible.

I’m always surprised to see sites created recently that look as if they were designed in 1995. Independent tables to scroll. Text and photos centered all the way down the page. Ticker tape scroll across the top or bottom of the page – sometimes both. I wonder if what strikes me so hard is the aesthetic, or if I’m just indulging in a kind of technical snobbery.
