putting the knit in shizknitz

I was lucky enough to attend an all-day Edward Tufte seminar, it truly was fantastic. I had never read any of his books before until today, but let me start with commenting that his books are like Apple products - beautiful packaging, colors, and quality with attention to details. We were given a copy of each of his texts which were beautiful to the touch and to the eyes! As minute a detail this is, each page is nice and thick - one of the books had some 3D characteristics as well. I loved his discussion regarding PowerPoint, as he has a very powerful and thought-provoking essay on the Cognitive Style of PowerPoint. I’m still trying to digest it all now (and no, I don’t know how many WW points this would be), but overall the message is about focusing on good content, less on the fluff. Kinda like what yo’ mama always taught you, and what you wished the boys in HS knew - “don’t judge the book by its cover” - cause the popular, beautiful numnut is probably just that!
