The Modular Web
The current trend for web startups seems to be either the “everything but the kitchen sink” or the “aggregation or bust” approach. Sites either try to be your everything (and fail) or they try to manage and aggregate all of your data from other sites (and fail). So many startups have lofty ambitions and delusions…
Birmingham
Amanda Marshall’s “Birmingham” is a powerful and important song. First, the song is a beautiful showcase of Amanda’s incredible voice and immense talents. The music is also a tremendous pleasure to experience. Then all of a sudden, the lyrics and the message of the song starts to get to you as the story unfolds like…
