I hate it when information is lost from the web - it's like burning books from the library! Mark Pilgrim had many useful sites and great information, especially on accessibility, which I've bookmarked previously. He committed "infosuicide" and now his pages can only be found on the wayback machine and a few mirrors. Infosuicide seems just as selfish as suicide. At least there is some record of all that information... (links in the article)

We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth. The other America, which constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, has severed itself from the literate, print-based culture. It cannot differentiate between lies and truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection. This divide, more than race, class or gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever, red state or blue state, has split the country into radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.
