Noy much to do about music, but oh-so-interesting visualization of the past year. I love when you can see it in pictures.

Amazing how fast things move in the digital age. Makes one wonder what the next five years will bring? Just talking with the kids the other day and they had a funny look on their faces when we were talking about when I was their age that we still had phones with cords! I worked at the IBM site in Boca Raton when the first PC’s were coming off the line. A far cry from what’s available today – Both in h/w and s/w.
Why are all the logos of successful or promising Web companies cutesy and soft? Is there an undocumented kawaii-infestation of western-based social media going on?
Mind you, the Firefox gets me every time I go Exploring on a web-Safari.
thx for a great blog.
I know what you mean about the cuteness and round edges. Web 2.0. It is all about making you click.
