WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS, KEY TAKE-AWAYS & RANDOM MISCELLANIA!
Two highly recommended sources for training and exercising your information design skills.
A corollary to the oft-noted adage that "in the information age all workers have to be life-long learners." (And some implications thereof.)
A nasty little secret about groupware that ONLY SCRIBBLERS MEDIA DARES TO TELL.
And another just-as-nasty one.
Some differences between rectangle figures A and B. (And why we bother to point them out.)BA
The "Barney Bean lesson" and a well-recognized, very useful information design strategy. (Ignore it at your own risk!)
A favorite Einstein quote. (SIDE NOTE: Marvin Minsky used it as the opening epigram in his seminal work, "The Society of Mind.")
A Chester L. Karass-inspired quote that we sometimes use to segue into our take on training that talks in "technical mumbo-jumbo."
What Michael Kinsley once remarked about the then-new blogging technology that’s equally valid for other newfangled Net-based communications systems. (You won’t want to miss this one!)
"Microcosm" and "Telecosm" author, George Gilder’s addendum to T. S. Eliot’s two consecutively-stated rhetorical questions posed in “The Hallow Men.”
The on-the-mark catch phrase (and worthy design goal) that Groove Networks used way-back-when for their breakthrough collaboration/communication system. Also: a commendable “groovitized” TLA. (NOTE: “TLA” is a three-letter acronym for “three-letter acronym.”)
