Comment on Ozymandias by Kimberlyn Davenport

Kimberlyn Davenport — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:03:30 +0000

Apart from the themes of pride and hubris, Shelley’s Ozymandias also tackles the theme of art and appreciation. The poem was inspired by a statue, and the traveler makes a point of telling us that the statue was made by a really skilled sculptor. Shelley describes in detail the statue and uses it as a way to explore the nature and longevity of art. In this way, he asks us to think about the fate of art as well.

Simply use the usual "apple-touch-icon" meta tag but use "apple-touch-icon-precomposed" for the name="" attribute instead. More info here (bottom paragraph).

Hi Dan

Thanks for the hit on Dropbox – been using something called xdrive but not nearly as easy as this.

You rock!

In the end I didn’t think the fusion that pownce gave worked in reality. You had the micro blogging combined with heavilly media rich content that (in my mind) made it less personal in the end.

I think the key for any future apps is to hide more of the media behind peoples profiles and keep the posts clean and to the point.

But then again we’ve already got twitpic and other micro sites. Why do we need pownce?
