“In the West Wing, Mr. Obama is a bit of a wanderer. When Mr. Bush wanted to see a member of his staff, the aide was summoned to the Oval Office. But Mr. Obama tends to roam the halls; one day last week, he turned up in the office of his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, who was in the unfortunate position of having his feet up on the desk when the boss walked in.” I love these little details, the behind the scenes stuff. Then again, The West Wing is my favorite show to ever air on television.
In my opinion it does, and I think Kottke’s points about the care and use of the visual design at the end of his post are spot on. He seems to sit on the fence with how much the visual design impacts the broken windows theory. I agree somewhat, a well moderated and active site owner probably does play a greater roll than the visual design in how much trolling and spam comments you get, but the visual design is still a vital component.

I was waiting for when they’d get around to Apple.
