Link5, weekly links on DJUST blog

Yesterday at www.djust.nl I introduced a weekly set of five pleasant links: DJUST Link5
It wil feature themed links, but also stuff we gathered during our strolls around the web.

Subjects will vary from webdesign to art, marketing, usability, interface design and every now and then some amusing nonsense

Check the first installment at the DJUST blog

Gaming skills pay off

One of my webdesign heroes of all time, Jeffrey Veen - currently deploying his knowledge for Google - recently blogged about the text-adventure-games from 'back in the day'. While this was a welcom trip to memory lane (ah - thinking of my trusty C-64) - I was really digging one of his final thoughts:

Today, people still write and explore interactive fiction, though I pretty much gave it up when I hit high school. These days, I solve tricky problems by typing into an email client rather than a green-screen game. The skills, however, are pretty much the same...

On a more serious note: parents better not worry about their kids' gaming habits too much, perhaps one day these skills will be their advantage as well. ;-)
