  6. Johnny Winter

    I just bought two general admission tickets to see Johnny Winter
    at The State Theatre in Virginia March 22nd.

    I haven’t really listened to any recent Johnny Winter – I have Second Winter and it’s great, but what really motivated me to grab tickets isn’t specifically his stuff (or that he played at Woodstock). Johnny brought Muddy Waters out of retirement to re-record using a mix of his band and Johnny’s band and the result, Hard Again, is the quintessential blues record of the 20th century.

    What an opportunity!

  7. Tufte on the iPhone

    Edward Tufte has posted a video and essay reviewing successes and failures of presentation and design in Apple’s iPhone. It is an especially easy to digest block of Tufte’s long running attention to information density.

    1. Keep information on a single surface
    2. Small multiples are great
    3. High resolution is nice
    4. Computer administrative junk obstructs information
    5. Images are superior to cartoons of images

    This is mostly common sense stuff, unfortunately when we play desktop publisher we are left with tools that do not have common sense. A graph in excel plotting three numbers over 12 weeks should have the same resolution as the table of data it is meant to augment or replace, and preferably the resolution should be much higher than that.

    Sadly, this is never the case.

    We should be able to easily place graphics, charts, tables, and text into a document in our editors. How did Microsoft Word beat the Quark’s and inDesign’s and Acrobats to failing at this? Why do we write with an editor that is a typewriter dressed up as a Publisher?

    Design is then dictated by the medium.

    Typewritten materials

    • spacing indented first line and double spaced paragraphs
    • two spaces after full stops ending sentences
    • no images
    • no graphics
    • minimal tables
    • Single font size

    Powerpoint slide decks

    • minimal tables due to import / export complexity
    • Graphics that were acceptable on 13” to 17” screens projected to 70” diagonals
    • Clip Art
    • Sliding Animations
    • Wipes
    • Screen reading

    Most unfortunate.

  9. Space Ghost Coast to Coast fortunes

    The Bill Brasky fortunes never get old. But just in case, I threw together some Space Ghost Coast to Coast fortunes!

    sgc2c.tar.gz.

    [grant@bender var]$ fortune sgc2c
"Did you ever meet Haystack Calhoun? He was a MOUNTAIN of a man."   -Leonard Ghostal
[grant@bender var]$ fortune sgc2c
Space Ghost: So, Zorak, how was your weekend?
Zorak: I, uh, I did some volunteer work over at the orphanage.
[grant@bender var]$ fortune sgc2c
Space Ghost: [looking for Zorak] Green... wears a vest... tall guy...   bald...
Zorak: ...no pants..
[grant@bender var]$ fortune sgc2c
Moltar: This is how I am. I'm destroying the planet!
Denis Leary: Is that so?
Moltar: Yeah. And I'm having a sale too.`

    Put the contents of that tarball in /usr/share/games/fortune or somewhere similar and enjoy!

    I keep this in my ~/.login
