In October, 2002, I was blogging about

• The stupidity of explosions in space movies
• The Chronicle of Higher Education rescues the briefly defunct Arts & Letters Daily
• The superiority complex
• An anti-telemarketing script
• An “I Love Lucy: bible study
• Why whitespace matters when creating a sign
• The coming air age of 1955 (as envisioned in 1942)
• Googling your Email (a reminder that our files used to be linear and hard to navigate; the idea of searching for key words in the pile of documents we created seemed magical)
• Usability testing (the Internet Archive preserved the “text goes here” place-holder for my usability handouts, among of one of the most popular resources on my website)
• Krispy Kreme
• Aristotle’s Poetics
• Hamilton College president resigns after plagiarizing address to freshmen
