This Wired magazine article is one of the coolest things I’ve read in years.

Interesting, Zach not trying to be sarcastic, but can you tell me what about the article is it that you like so much? The writing, subject, flow etc etc.

I must say that the author has an excellent ability to convey elaborate detail in very few words, he paint picture in a “3 word” phrase. I love the way it flows and quickly gets to the point, leaving you, as the reader, to think about what has just transpired.

I love the way he jumps into the piece, feet first, expecting you catch up, which you do, quickly.

The factual bits are cover with superb flow, and without the reader being bogged down by their “factualness”.

But what really intrigues me, is his use of short sentences, colons and semi-colons: Getting the reader to think, picture, place and then assume, he then elaborates on the bit that left you hanging, just enough to fill the gaps…

Really good writing…

Well found Zach

Not to take away from the writing, but those are some of the hardest looking dudes I have seen in a while.
