  • Nick mentioned enticingly the obsidianwings blog about Andy Olmsted. I took a look based on Nick's recommendation. That's the only reason I went there. That's the story.

  • ok..after spending a few minutes confusing myself over Toms comment about a "pretend red herring"... here's my out-pouring: Surely it's the impact of what we consume that makes us value it. Read this one of a million blogs postings and tell me it has no value. http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/01/andy-olmsted.html I trust in the good taste of our fellow onliners, to make sure that real cream ...

  • Jonathan, I'm really glad you brought up Search. It is not by accident that Search and the never ending process of refining it, is the single most important topic in the digital age.
