The most powerful type and design tools in the world are the pencil and the pen, which have been pretty accessible and affordable for quite a while. Some people, it is true, are so enchanted by the computer that they now can’t draw or write by hand, just as some are so enchanted by the car that they’re incapable of walking. And a few people are vandals, who will use whatever tools they have to wreck what other people do. But the tools aren’t to blame for these defects of character

Sheesh. Another year flies by.

There's news here at the Dezine Cafe, though.

We've migrated the Plone servers to a new host at Rackspace, and we're looking forward to a stronger and more consistent development pattern.

Also, our focus personally has shifted from high-tech to high-touch, from frantic web development to slow-print...

In fact, we've got a new domain  "slowprint.org" for our letterpress printing business, which is just about the speed we prefer!
