Comments on: Animanifestos http://snarkmarket.com/2009/4174 The stomping grounds of Tim Carmody, Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson. It's a long-running conversation about media, journalism, technology, cities, culture, design, books, music, movies, the future and the past.

Shouldn't it be reminding me who to ping, and that it's been a few weeks now? * Writeroom for blocking everything else out to just create text, old school. * An emulator system to ensure you can Rosetta Stone your long-discarded filetypes from the past into existence again.

Whenever I recommended it to friends they thought I was advocating for the end of reading! The BBC did a series of shorts (that I've been unable to find) that ran between programs in the nineties - poets reading their own works over a video of a book open on a chair. Some of the key phrases would appear onscreen, or scroll across or fade in and out - trying to reach the general public with how _lively_ poetic images and phrasings could be. If this is what one generation had to suffer through endless, shoddy powerpoints to learn to create, I salute their sacrifice.

Love. it. * After Effects/Prezi hybrid of the future—with great support for data! You're so right about that. * Photoshop * Final Cut Express * Something that helps you quickly develop & deploy web apps... maybe a simpler version of <a href="http://www.panic.com/coda/" rel="nofollow">Coda</a>? Or maybe it's online, like <a href="http://wufoo.com/" rel="nofollow">Wufoo</a>. * What else? OMG, New Office. Love. it.

I mentioned Prezi in a comment on the Animanifesto post, remembering I'd seen it here, but there is a big gulf between them. Whatever this new mass-market idea-articulater turns out to be, it will be part of the software tools pack accompanying the New Liberal Arts -- the New Office Suite!
