The birth of the newspaper

Marc Andreessen has kicked off a series of historical insights into the tumultuous, unsteady births of the different forms of media we experience today; he starts with one that, ironically, appears to be on its way out: the invention of the newspaper. It’s kickass, truly. I wish more blogs in my feed reader were like this, occasional high quality posts, not a stream of echo chamber coverage of big media news.

Revolution over at EvokeONE
Fascinating virtual art exhibition loosely based around the theme of revolution (there are many others including Fable, Calligraphy, Muse, etc) featuring digital design art, music and photography - really, really high quality stuff. Love the music too, unexpectedly! I'll be returning frequently to Evokeone.com if they can keep this up. del.icio.us Tags: design,art,photography,music...
