Punctuation neuroses

Scott has some thoughtful comments on ubiquitous technology affecting writing conventions. Apparently we have the same qualms about including spaces in filenames:
i just can't bring myself to put spaces in filenames even if the system supports them; er, well, i've certainly done it, and kinda still do, sometimes; but i feel off afterwards, like i'd just drooled on my shirt.

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
