‘Match Game’s’ Brett Somers dies at 83
I am frequently mocked for my obituary posts. They are frequently about media personalities, particularly those that figured prominently into game shows. I have no good defense to this attack.
With the passing of Brett, the three people who made Match Game what it was are no longer with us. (Richard Dawson, while influential, left the show for the spin-off *Family Feud* in 1978.)
Somewhere in the afterlife, they’re having one hell of a _________.
Few applications have energized the Mac community as Quicksilver has, and few developers have been more elusive to speak publicly about it than its creator, Nicholas “Alcor” Jitkoff.
The amount of peer pressure at Google is apparently overwhelming, as Nicholas have given a **fantastic** 25 minute talk as part of the Google Tech Talks series.
> In this talk, we will explore the motivation behind Quicksilver, highlights of its implementation, lessons learned from its design, and the ways it might inform the future of navigation for the desktop and the web.
Quicksilver users/fanatics/zealots should not pass this up.
Other people I know and love who have done Google Tech Talks: Suw Charman’s Does Social Software Have Fangs?, and Merlin Mann’s ridiculously popular Inbox Zero.
