First, Shelley Powers calls my slides poetry.  I’m a bit embarrassed by the accolade.  The material is certainly not new.  Nor do I consider it my best work.  It is the presentation style that was, perhaps, a bit novel.  Highly constrained.  Miserly with words.  Generous with links and transclusion.

Then — in a rare, long and rambling paragraph — Tim refers to an “incoherent” piece in the Guardian that made him think; Tim then contrasts it to an excellent article that — if I don’t miss my guess — largely reinforced Tim’s already held beliefs.

Tim’s post made me think.

David Heinemeier Hansson’s Don’t blame me is brilliant.  I’m confident that Mark Twain would approve.
