tapioca (2011 - 2012) was an
assortment of ideas that never found a niche. One comment made
by the site was about the date format being used on the world
wide web. It stated “Have you ever visited a website, found the
information that you were looking for, then checked the date,
and found 06/05/01 or 01 05 06 or 10.9.13 or 13-09-10? Most of
us have. What exactly do these dates represent?” In some ways
this is not only the information age, but it is also the
misinformation age. Another interesting piece was about the
Excel 97 flight simulator. The instructions for activating the
simulator were: 1. In Excel 97 open a new work sheet 2. Press F5
and type "X97:L97" in the reference box, then click OK 3. Hit
your tab key once and you end up in cell M97 4. Press “Ctrl” and
“Shift” while clicking on the chart wizard icon (blue/yellow/red
bar chart). The flight simulator will now activate. Steer with
your mouse, accelerate and decelerate with the left and right
mouse buttons (tapio.ca)
