Recently this question has been on my mind on an almost daily basis. I'm drawn to Sociology, Philosophy, and Psychology. The human condition being the greatest project available.

Its been a busy month for damonky. We've relaunched the website, started to sell t-shirts, and generally enjoy  the wonderful world that is Devon. From reading our blog you would think that we had been in a coma for the last year. If however, you follow us on twitter you would be privvy to regular links, thoughts and discussion. This point has been raised by chris shiflett in his article "Ideas of March" . Whilst I won't go over it again I certainly think its a good thing to blog more.

There is no doubt in my mind that the iPad will open up the internet to a whole new segment of the market. It will allow people to use the internet without the complexities of a modern desktop system. It will also, as Stowe Boyd states in his article Why Closed works, it changes the metaphors used when interacting with a device. No longer will we think in terms of our data, but instead our processes - our tasks will dictate the data, rather than data dictating our tasks / apps. Users will be free from the scattered file-system, free from the files that they cant open because they cant find the app to open it.
