In May, 2002, I was blogging about… typefaces in period movies; poets Paul Dirac and Stewart Conn; web usability; fired for making a satirical game

In May, 2002, I was blogging about

• Rating historical movies on how accurately they represent period typefaces
• The average UK reader spends 17 minutes a day reading a newspaper, compared to 11 minutes reading a novel.
• Paul Dirac, honorary poet laureate of modern physics.
• Student web project on poet Stewart Conn’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party”
• Fired for making a game (a government meat popsicle creates a satirical game that his superiors never bothered to play)
• Creator of Nancy Drew dies at 96
• Why won’t we read the manual?
• Put a search box on your home page, not just a “search” link (a hint I passed along to web usability guru Jakob Nielsen)
