My sister, who is studying graphic design in the Yukon, just sent me this list of URL choices that should have been vetted a little more thoroughly before being decided upon by the marketing team. Now, I like URLs without underscores and dashes because they are harder to remember, but a few well-placed dashes may have saved them from being so disastrously misread. Pretty hilarious, but I wouldn’t want to be the one responsible!

Past and Future Web
When I saw this TED video of a Seadragon demonstration (below), I was reminded of this future/fantasy video on “Googlezon” that was circulating a few years back. I thought I would post them both a kind of proof that truth is stranger than fiction.
So what do you think? Will Google lead to a trivialization of the universe? I’m not sure if Google will be the only party to blame… Have you seen Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce?
Wow, friggin awesome! I want to see a construct done with artwork (paintings) only… BTW, if you want to try this technology out on your own computer, you can do that here.
