It’s finally here. Dave, Antony and Tom have been toiling away over a hot stove for the past few weeks and Forkd is finally ready for the tasting. It’s the feta release right now (d’ya see what we did there?) – if you’d like a feta tester account mail me. They’re very limited, but so is the readership of this blog… You’ll need a genuine love of food, a desire to show the world your cooking and the patience to log good bug reports and feature requests. If you’re interested please drop me a line (andy at isotoma.com will do it).

That’s I Am Not A Designer, obviously. The design of offmessage pays relentless homage to subtraction. I hope it’s different enough to not be a rip off, but there’s no doubting the fact that I think it’s the finest looking site on the web at the moment. Some context: New Minimalism in Web Interface Design

If you have 8 minutes with some speakers this is well worth a watch. From 2004, but some of its predictions are remarkably prescient. (Link for those of you without embedding).
It is hard to imagine an organisation collecting two million zombie PCs just to send more spam. At some point this massive acquisition of resources will stop and the network will be turned to some other use. And let’s be honest, it’s unlikely to be looking for a cure for cancer, now is it?
It’s at this point I’d like to offer some solution, or point to action already underway, but right now, we’re pretty powerless. This is likely to get messy.

I have been saying this to anyone who’ll listen to my drunken ranting at web networking events for 2 years now. I have believed it so much that every time I hear about another success of Sky By Broadband, 4od, BBC iPlayer or any other DRM crippled attempt to secure a dead position I snort derisively and start muttering under my breath.
TV networks are dead. The business models they maintain are dead. And the technology they are peddling now is to TV exactly what the Sony rootkit was to CDs. Dead. And likely to cause embarrassment.
