Maeda's SIMPLICITY

Bush's Simplicity

Provided by Media Lab hard-to-categorize Erik Blankinship.

I believe that screen snapshots fit into the category of photography. It's awful hard to take a good screen snapshop, especially nowadays with the complex screen grabbing options you have today. File format? Size reduction? Framing rectangle? I find it strange that sometimes you can grab the screen, but no file is written. Or else you get an area on the screen that doesn't get written to the screen grab file. I know the reason why this happens, in a technical sense. But that doesn't make me feel any better.

Erik captured the big Saletan article on Slate when Bush won the election in November of this year. The reason Bush won, we are told, is "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity."
