    Yesterday I watched a 10 minute video of an HD camera tethered to a weather balloon as it climbed to 100,000ft then plummeted back to Earth. The video was a lot of spinning and whooshing.

    I got through all 10 minutes of that video. I could not even get through the first minute of this video without feeling nauseated.

    Among other things, it’s interesting to see how much the web has changed in the last 8 years.

    If I’m not mistaken, cnn actually dropped to a “low bandwidth,” less cluttered version to handle all the traffic during the crisis. Archive.org records before 9/11 show a slightly heavier site.

  • People Suck At Email, Part III: CC vs BCC

    in People Suck At Email, Tips & How To’s

    It’s 2009, I can’t believe I just had to send this email.

    When you add recipients to the “CC” list you expose all recipients email addresses to everyone else on the list. By doing this you have inadvertently sent your entire client list to all of your clients.

    In the future please use BCC.
