Great stuff. The most expensive book in my personal library (Writing Systems of the World) deals with this too.

I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like. I used to have to be involved with "artists" who wanted to "do something with the internet"–yeugh. *This* is bloody amazing artwork, and every time I visit it makes me want to get to know Processing. Until I realise that no amount of knowing the language will make me an artist. Ah well.

Gmail and Flatness (beelerspace)
I’ve been struggling with hierarchies all my professional life.
There are basically two ways to go: ever increasingly sophisticated
tree-like hierarchies (think Yahoo!) or flat hierarchies (think
del.icio.us). It may be because I’m, erm, *anal*, that I love trees
(Dewey Decimal!), but the more I use flat hierarchies, the more I find
they’re most of the time actually much better suited to real life. Take
my email: years ago I used to have a complex system of folders and
subfolders and subsubfolders. Then that became too simple and I was
forced to use cross-references (as when clients became friends and vice
versa). And now I get all my mail in one big heap and I just use
LookOut (or Google Desktop Search) to find stuff. (categories: inspiration work) -
