Tom Coates has redesigned Plasticbag.org. A fan of the old design, I’m not yet convinced by the big-text minimalism that seems to be the new vogue (see also: Signal vs. Noise).
Other Brits will be happy to know that we get Google Maps too; they even have my road. Now all we need is satellite imagery…
Of course, the big news this week (apart from that Pope thing) is Adobe’s acquisition of Macromedia for $3.4billion (£1.8billion). The daring John Gruber translates the press release for us mere mortals, while Dave Shea neologises with “Macrodobia”. Link junkies should head over to Kottke for a more thorough roundup.

Whilst I appreciate Gruber, and from all those long words he uses, he must be very smart, I prefer Monsieur Storey’s take on adobe/macrodobia. Just about understandable for the semi-technologically literate ones here.
(side note: Semi-Technologically? Never use that phrase again, it’s just mean on the poor syllable)
