Comments off.
I think “The Agency Model is Dead” article applies to more than just design agencies. We’re seeing it in other industries… financial, insurance, sales distributors… even accounting and law practices. Power to the people. The times they are a changin’.
Side note: ID was a couple years ahead of it’s time ; )
You gotta luv Carole’s netdiver. If it gives added value to the web, it should be listed here. I’ve been a netdiver frequent reader for years, and there’s always something there that either gets your attention or fuels inspiration. =)
I do luv Carole’s netdiver and have listed it here since forever. (Luv Carole, too!)
My apologies for not closing that link to netdiver. I will burn in hell! =(
I closed it for you. You will ascend to heaven.

I had no idea what Netscape was up to… another major portal gets the facelift treatment…
I’d actually had to recently teach myself the sneaky image layout techniques with Word, shown by CreativeIQ up there.
The fireball piece on the Zune was a hoot, that 8-ball sounds pretty damn smart.
Overal great collection of links! :)
