“Gone & Forgotten is a tries-to-be-monthly webzine dedicated to the worst, the lowest, the most ludicrous, the least memorable and the downright un-funkified of the whole world of comics.”

“A website that can read your body language and know what you want before you have even clicked on anything may sound like science fiction… A team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, US, say they have developed a way to record mouse movements on a page and learn how people behave when they are on the internet.”

“Edward Tufte is one of the few very ‘rich’ presenters I’ve encountered before — there’s no unnecessary repetition of content or other filler. I found myself really mentally involved with the class throughout the day. Tufte is a really gifted teacher/presenter; I left the class full of enthusiasm and excitement for the material he covered. Disclaimer: There’s no way that my notes could do justice to this class, and they are done mainly for my own later reference…”

“The unlikely chain of circumstances that would make Braille possible began during the Crusades with King Louis the Ninth of France. Already a religious man, Louis met a crushing defeat in the Crusades, barely escaping death. He returned to Paris certain that God was trying to teach him humility. This belief intensified his interest in charity and, among other good works, he founded the first institution for the blind in the world, the ‘Quinze-Vingts’ hospice (in English, ‘fifteen score’). The name refers to the first inhabitants, 300 knights blinded during the Crusades… A successful and beloved king at home, Louis nonetheless could not resist another attempt at a Crusade, where he met his death in 1270 when a fever swept the French camp in Tunis. Because of his piety, the Church canonized him in 1297 as ‘St. Louis.’ In an odd coincidence, he would one day have a city named after him that would play an important role, 600 years later, in the acceptance of Braille in America.”

“This week we interview Curt Cloninger author of ‘Fresh Styles for Web Designers’ which we reviewed last time. Curt talks about the leading designers he profiles, the dual nature of the Net, immersive environments, and what he’s working on now.”
