Blog about hypertext in print?

What's the name of the blog (short for "Web log," a kind of online journal or diary) that covers hypertext-like design features in print media like newspapers?
It has an almost-self-explanatory name that eludes me, and is seldom updated, as there are few examples of such things in the wild.
I Googled.

Best answer: There's hypulp, a blog that "documents the influence of the internet on print design." They did a three part series on hyperlinks in print (part 1, 2, 3) . The last part cites the blog over at the Institute for the Future of the Book).

Since the question's already been answered I guess it's okay to note now that it's a little bizzare to define the term blog here, considering that MeFi is one.

Since Mr. Clark has been a metafilter member for about 6 years now (and is user #250!), I assume he is being tongue-in-cheek with his definition of blog.

I think he might actually be the Rt. Hon. Joe Clark. Which would be awesome.

Still, you gotta bow, he's #250. I took it as a little bit jokey.

Man, people are so finely attuned to the vagaries of humor here it's almost annoying.

Wow. Building Accessible Websites, by Joe Goatse Clark.
(Sorry, Joe - in my defence, I was going to mention hypulp too, but got here too late)

They used to call him 'Crazy Joe.' Well, now they can call him 'Batman'!
