Thoughts & observations from a quirky cartoonist/designer.

Sideways Emoticons

“Punctuation marks that look like smiley faces express happiness on a new communication tool known as “Internet.” The computer network is already being used by 15 million people worldwide — to chat or do important research. Communication may be anonymous and isolated, but there’s always someone to talk to about sports, recipes or politics.”

A broadcast originally aired October 8th, 1993 describes a network of debates and open communication called the “Internet” (aka: The WWW). According to one user at the time, the Internet “has more soul than any human being I know!” and yet another user describes it as liberty and information — “part of our everyday life”.

It’s interesting that much of these philosophies exist today.

Habari has been installed. Time to migrate and will more than likely need some assistance with that. Love the minimalist feel. via Twitter

Delicioso!
