Anthurian

This latest addition to the “Historical Perspective” section was originally inspired by a post on a fellow Web Designer’s site. Originally posted on September 5, 2003, some of the content may be a bit dated but the overall concepts and intent are timeless. In trying to revive Anthurian, I’ve been questioning my intentions and sensibilities, [...]

While I’m posting this article to the “Historical Perspective” section, I do not know if I’d ever actually posted it to Anthurian. So, while some of the content may be a bit dated (“Firebird”, anyone?!), it’s points are still very relevant and valid for me today. Despite having access to sites like Delicious, I still [...]

This latest installment to the “Historical Perspective” section may be a bit dated in terms of me needing to use Netscape 4.8 but the overall theme is timeless. If I were to write this article now, little would need to be updated. This was originally posted to Anthurian on November 11, 2004. Much to my [...]

Continuing my “Historical Perspective” series, this article was originally published on August 27, 2003 at a time when more and more PR professionals were starting to take their first steps into the Blogosphere. This was before the Global PR Blogweek and at a time when corporations were starting to realize the potential (for better or [...]

Continuing my “Historical Perspective” series, this article was originally posted on October 17th, 2003. The other day Kenny asked a group of us what we would consider our favorite “underrated” albums. As I’ve pointed out before, Kenny has a music (mostly rock) collection that far outstrips my own but I did manage to come up [...]

This is another piece for the “Historical Perspective” section (from March 11th, 2003) which I wasn’t originally planning on re-running until I came across this post on the Consumerist about an AMC theater banning children under 6 from attending R-rated movies after 6pm. Last night, Curtiss gave David and I a free movie pass to [...]

Continuing my “Historical Perspective” series, this article was originally posted on February 10th, 2003. With the benefit of over 7 years of hindsight, I would probably have done a better job explaining things but, for newbies to the Web, I still think this is a valid high-level primer. I received an email from a business [...]

Another installment in my “Historical Perspective” series. With the benefit of hindsight, I think the original title to the article is kinda dopey but, for the sake of being true to re-running the posts as they originally existed, I’ve left it intact. This post originally ran on September 17th, 2002. I’m perusing this Web site [...]

Continuing my “Historical Perspective” series, this article was originally written on May 24th, 2002. Since then, a lot of things have changed (for better or worse) with the emergence of virtual worlds like Second Life and World of Warcraft which, although not fulfilling the original dreams of “virtual reality” go a long way to creating [...]

Another article in my “Historical Perspective” series, this one is from my days working in the PR industry and dates from March 3rd, 2004. Recently I’ve been working on a number of ideas for increasing traffic and popularity for a couple Web sites. Someday, I may finalize these and put them into an easily digestible [...]
