The We Feel Fine Book
Talk about reverse publishing. One of the world’s most beautiful Web apps has been turned into a book. And it looks fantastic:
I also love that they make it easy to embed pages, even if it’s just a simple linked jpg. (How fantastic would it have been if they’d let you embed an interactive widget from the book exploration interface they created on their site, though?)

Whoa, I don’t think I had ever experienced the photo element. It reminds me of my old friend Indeterminacy, sort of the opposite–take a random photo and assign an emotional story. I wonder how much of the photography was hand curated, how much of it was simply searched …maybe one day the harvested feelings will automatically generate the pictures.
We definitely need more exciting embedable apps.
I have always been in awe of Johnathan Harris’ work. Have you seen his latest essay, on building virtual worlds?

I had not seen that. I loved it. Worthy of a post of its own.
