Nook.ie anyone?
Here’s a humorous article from Steven Heller looking at American bookseller Barnes & Noble’s new product. A reaction to the Kindle (I mentioned his article about that, here), the Nook is visually more appealing to my eye than the cumbersone Kindle. It does, however seem to owe a royalty to Jonathan Ive at Apple.
Speaking from this side of the pond, Nook is an aphorism for something else entirely. But that’s enough about that. In case you are wondering, nook.ie is available.
Er, the domain name I mean, that wasn’t an offer.

Y2K bug. Remember that? An interesting interview via The Guardian

Only the other day I looked back at a mailer we created in the late nineties. We spoofed the Y2K bug. It is not surprising that we did, it was a huge media story. The BBC (via The Guardian) has an interesting interview by Stephen Fry. Was it all a big spoof?
