Thoughts on Pagination | Nolan Caudill
"Having a pagination scheme that closely models how a stream is sorted can give you both the casual browsing experience that the numbered pagination provides, as well as powerful navigation abilities that the numbered pagination can't provide." Yes, this.

SXSW 2012 Q&A: Jesse Chan-Norris | Scatter/Gather
"I’ve been taking digital photos for over a decade, but it’s only really been in the past five years or so that the photographs that I’ve been making exist solely in their digital form. Before that, even digital photos would most likely have been printed to be shared, but the advent of high speed everything and social everything else has made that unnecessary. This, in itself, has been wonderful for the near instantaneous dissemination of information (if a bit overwhelming in terms of volume), but it also means that we are no longer leaving behind this physical trail. I would like to talk about what this means."

New Perspectives on Old Perspectives | Huffington Post
"The web project [...] highlights the work of NYPL patron Joshua Heineman, who started creating his own moving images from Library stereograms as an art project for his blog. The Library's NYPL Labs team was so impressed it decided to build on his idea. Here's his story about how the idea took shape and grew into a Library project." A good project and a good read.
