I Want HTML Emails

No matter hoe much people argue against html email I remain unconvinced. Zeldman's arguments remain unconvincing:

E-mail was invented so people could quickly exchange text messages

Wasn't that was the entire internet was originally for? The internet wasn't designed for streaming video, maybe we should stop doing that too?
I like html emails and I'll bet there are tons of other who do as well. The internet is doing tons of things it was never designed to do, why should that stop email?

TED Movie is Disapointing

TEDI've always been a big fan of the TED conference videos online. I'm a big fan of long interesting talks about seemingly dull subjects. Based on this I hoped the new TED movie The Future We Will Create: Inside the World of TED would be just as good. Sadly it just comes off as a 73 minute advertisement for the conference. They would have been better off just highlighting some of the bes speeches. I was vary disappointed.
