Some happy randomness for today:
- It’s the season of end-of-year lists, and Typographica has chimed in with their favorite fonts of 2005. Some really cool stuff, and I even have one of ’em (Adobe Garamond Premier Pro).
- There’s a lot of buzz about “web 2.0” – so much that it’s tough to really tell whether it’s a good thing. There are good arguments for both the “old-school” web philosophy and the more end-user centric “new-school” stuff. But this picture does a good job at helping visualize the confusion that can come with the current models of “web 2.0.”
- I haven’t watched music videos in some time – not having cable is a good part of that. But this list of this blogger’s top 50 videos is good watching.
- The FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup is in full swing, and I love following the races and results. As a citizen of the United States, however, I’m left with virtually no video coverage of the races (though OLN carries some heavily-butchered race footage every week). Thanks to the web, though, it’s possible to watch all the top-three runs from every World Cup race – thank you, Sport1!

YOU ARE TAGGED! I normally shun “chain letters,” but this one seems fun and harmless:

I read about your PowerBook crash last month, and hope you recovered all the important stuff. All the best for the new year!

Web 2.0 may be old hat already. All the VC blogs that I frequent are desscribing it as way over-hyped. If yo hear web 2.0 and teh long tail too many times from an antrepreneur, you know that he doesn;t have a real viable business plan; he just wants to flip a company to google or yahoo.
