One of the things which sticks in my mind about the first time I stayed at my then future-wife’s flat in Bristol is the pile of unsorted CDs and empty cases which were strewn haphazardly around her stereo. I couldn’t understand how anybody could take such little care - not just because of the damage they could suffer but also out of convenience.
I have hundreds of CD albums, and when Relly and I met they were all on my CD shelves, alphabetised by artist. She says I’m anal - life’s too short to arrange the CD collection like this, but I say life’s too short NOT to. I don’t want to spend hours searching for a particular CD.
Of course, now that all the music’s in iTunes and on the iPod there’s no argument. I’ve stopped fighting The Battle of the Alphabetised CD Collection.
These days all our CDs just take up space. Maybe they’d look nicer sorted by colour.

For some time my wife has been saying that, as the arrival of Web 2.0 was marked with an abundance of rounded corners, gradients and bargain-stars, so the coming of Web 3.0 will be announced by a surge of triangles and glitter.
Today Flickr has moved on from it’s seemingly perpetual “Beta” development phase into “Gamma” - and Relly’s trying to convince me that the triangular ‘down arrows’ in the new look are a mark of more triangles to come.
I’ve recently been creating visuals for the redesign of another well known Web 2.0 application, and now Relly’s trying to convince me to “make it all Web 3.0″ and sneak in some glitter here and there.
The thing is, she’s developing a nasty habit of being right. I’d better see what I can do…
