Death to 1997

One good thing seems to have come out of all this "blogging" nonsense. Remember how headers used to be half the time in the late nineties, as a rendered graphic in some fancy font?

Apparently the need to churn out text at a daily rate to keep the pundits happy put that to death soon enough, as the newsprint-like lust for breaking thoughts took over for the magazine-like fetishization of "articles." Which at least makes the web less painted into a corner.
