Who would have thought that Electronic Mail would come to supplant the nation's own great and venerable post?!?
I received two delightful links this morning:
From DjBryan comes the resignation letter of Stewart Butterfield. Despite his appropriately old-timey name, he is actually the creator of Flickr. In the letter, he creates a complex fantasy of Yahoo! as a tin-smithing factory. Enjoy:
Stewart Butterfield's Letter of Resignation
And if you like creepy puppets, you'll love this Wiemar-esque video called Shockheaded Peter. My friend Ken explains:
Long story short is this german dude wanted to get cautionary kids tales but didn't like what was available so he started writing his own. Only they ended up being really gruesome (very edward gorey). For instance, shockheaded peter was unkempt and dirty and the moral of his story was that if you don't groom yourself, your parents will bury you alive under the house.
In the tale of the thumsucker, the scissorman will sneak in and cut them off.
etc
etc
