Essays [Editor's note: peterme.com began as a site of self-published essays, a la Stating The Obvious. This evolved (or devolved) towards link lists and shorter thoughtpieces. These essays are getting a tad old, but have some good ideas.] Reader Favorites Interface Design Recommended Reading List Whose "My" Is It Anyway? Frames: Information Vs.

"The Art World Starts to Pay Attention to Video Games" -- New York Times article on art and video games, a subject discussed here a bit back. I found it interesting that this piece got placed in the "Technology" section of the paper, not the "Arts" section. I s'pose the NYT is less forward-thinking than museums. "The Promise of the Daily Me" -- a really excellent and in-depth feature on the history and promises of online journalism. A great primer of the subject, a must-read for anyone interested in what will happen to newspapers. 0 comments so far. Add a comment. Previous entry: "Matt's lookin' out fer ye."
