| Description: | Hi. I’m Chris Messina and this is my blog. I live and work in San Francisco and I’m currently employed by Vidoop and work full time on the DiSo Project with Steve Ivy, Will Norris, and Stephen Paul Weber, among others. I co-founded Citizen Agency with Tara Hunt, a consulting company focused on the effective and appropriate use of social media combined with open source values and practices. I tend to futz a lot and upload lots of screenshots of interfaces, representing my interest in user interaction and interface design. I find lots of cool links from across the web and share them. I once worked on the Spread Firefox project, doing the design of both the site and the two-page New York Times ad, but that was a while ago now. I also helped start Flock (the browser company) but left that gig after nine months. I was a co-founder of BarCamp and helped start up the coworking community. I helped organize the production of the OAuth protocol and am heavily involved in OpenID and microformats. I value openness, transparency, honesty, respect and passion. |

Designing for the gut
I want you to watch this video from a recent a Sarah Palin rally (hat tip: Marshall Kirkpatrick). It gives us “who” I’m talking about. While you could chalk up the effect of the video to clever editing, I’ve seen similar videos that suggest that

A status update from 1940
Brynn and I went poking around Alemeda this weekend and stumbled into Pauline’s Antiques, the kind of place where you can find thick-walled whiskey glasses that were once sipped from by people who wore yellow sweaters unironically. Of course, you can find such yellow sweaters too, but what caught our attention were the unremarkable postcards scattered around the store reminiscent of a simpler time. But one must ask himself: was it really so different then? Superficially of course it certainly seems to like things are quite different from back then: faster, bigger, and more connected

The death of the URL
Prelude You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. Remember — all I am offering is the truth, nothing more. In the Matrix, Morpheus presents Neo with a choice: he can take the blue pill and continue his somnambulatory existence within the Matrix, or he can take the red pill and become free
