I think in the near future there will be docking stations everywhere with a screen and a keyboard. You simply pull out your phone, plug it into the docking station, and instantly all your applications and data are available to you. Chrome, Google Apps, and Android make this vision possible.

Dammit! I said this to people 3 years ago. I should have written it down, if only to prove that I’m at least as good at imagining the future as Don Dodge. Of course it might never happen like this, but the thought that 3 years after I first said it, Don Dodge can now see it happening before his eyes at Google is kinda gratifying.

Parents can limit the top speed of the car to 80 miles an hour, set warning beeps to go off at either 45, 55, or 65 m.p.h. and restrict the volume of the car’s stereo to 44 percent of the maximum volume.

Before we started planning, we knew that Denna was already actively using the functionality of other web sites to share her work and thoughts. It made no sense to reproduce the functionality here when we knew we could import her content from other sites and use it on this one. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to create a site that would distill all of a person’s activity from around the Web on one site, painting a rich picture of who they are and what they do.Colophon | Denna Jones
