Ken Kennedy writes about how to be an artist and still get paid in the 21st century. How? Voluntary micropayments. Interesting stuff. Seems like it would work. [Via Doc.]

[Completely unrelated: You know what would be good for doing screen schematics, or navigation prototpyes, or wireframes, or whatever you want to call them? HyperCard. Why isn’t there a tool like this around anymore? I know: the Internet. But HyperCard had simple drawing tools and the ability to hyperlink between cards. And a scripting language if I remember correctly. That would make a great environment for rapidly developing site mockups. Oh well.]

[Later: Holy crap, you can still buy HyperCard. That’s amazing. Something tells me it’s not Carbonized and never will be. We need an open source HyperCard movement.]
