Make those gestures count even…
It’s still barely past research project, but here’s a ‘monitor’ made of air, in a NYTimes article. Technology like this will become important because of the growth of ‘gestural computing’ from the game status that got me so excited earlier this week.

Product Development lifecycle grid
I read this blog from time to time, via its RSS feed. I’ve worked with a really strong project manager a few times in my career, and it’s a blessing. Hard to tell for sure, but I like the way this person thinks, at least. Here’s a grid which boils down hard-earned experience into realistic…

Metafizzle
I’ve posted about metadata before. Here’s Jason Kottke’s already bemoaning the overabundance of metadata. His illustrations nicely, well, illustrate his point.

Record everything
Steven Johnson notes on his blog a a bit of extra information about his article for the NYTimes Magazine, Offloading your memories (hope this link doesn’t expire in seven days). In the comments, Anil Dash points to his April 1, 2003 (coincidence!??!) post on “the personal panopticon.” I had my own thoughts on that post…

NYTimes uses CNET News.com story…
It happens occasionally, but not often enough that I’ll let the occasion pass without saving a link. Here’s the full story, on CNET News.com, written by John Borland:
