Sadly, we won't be hunting U-boats with Ernest Hemmingway as in the picture below... but Sue and I will be enjoying all other manner of toasty, wet goodness. The photo below is from a recent book that tells the story of Hemingway's presumably conning the US Navy out of some guns and gasoline to pursue his drinking and fishing and fun in the sunning.</span></div><br />

The book is adored by many in the design and cartographic fields, garnering some awards. And it is, I cannot deny, cute, and a nice piece of book design work. The method of geolocation through a simply displayed triangulation scheme, while a little obscure, eventually comes into focus as a clever little device. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I did, though, find the text to be somewhat disjointed. Of course, the book is 50 mini-essays about 50 topics that are really disparate and related only in their physical manifestation. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOt3kyMp5SteUVhP0Ne4F02UKb8Lud9dXvqNlrxfd3iEffmifXOnA1BCqzSkc8PMZZV36Zn8JZDtgm-klmtwtXWmuoJA-r2ALY_XOzGVe1j3gszlzXLfnybK-ongSxLxPdTkDQ/s1600/448px-Coat_of_arms_of_Tristan_da_Cunha.svg.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOt3kyMp5SteUVhP0Ne4F02UKb8Lud9dXvqNlrxfd3iEffmifXOnA1BCqzSkc8PMZZV36Zn8JZDtgm-klmtwtXWmuoJA-r2ALY_XOzGVe1j3gszlzXLfnybK-ongSxLxPdTkDQ/s200/448px-Coat_of_arms_of_Tristan_da_Cunha.svg.png" width="178" /></a></div>And how can I even say anything mildly disparaging about a tome that devotes two entire pages to <a href="http://www.tristandc.com/">Tristan de Cunha</a>, that most isolated South Atlantic rock, 2700 miles from the nearest anywhere... that most ignored of all destinations? And I do adore Schalansky's cartomilitancy... </blockquote><blockquote><b>"It is high time for cartography to take its place among the arts and for the atlas to be recognized as literature."</b></blockquote></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now, in the course of the preface, she drops the most tantalizing bombshell... she teases us with her report of a former teacher's collection of early map works, student work, refining their skills at cartography...</div><blockquote style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"A few years ago, my typography professor showed me an enormous book that she had stored in a huge map chest. I had already seen some of her collections: old poetry albums, watercolors of ribbons and varieties of sausage and cakes... But then she brought out a folio of crumpled silk paper wrapped in blue marble sheets... Each smooth, yellowed page was full of geometric constructions: crosses, boxes, single, double, triple; broken lines and solid lines; plain, cursive and decorative lettering, abbreviations, arrows and symbols, patches of watercolor and the most delicate cross-hatching. All the protagonists of the cartographical narrative were individually listed and practices in this volume--down to the black and white lines of the borders and the scale measures. Sometimes the stroke of the quill was a little clumsy, but in other places it was so perfect that is seemed barely possible it could have been made by a human hand. The folio was a bound collection of topographical drawings from the apprenticeship of a French cartographer between 1887 and 1889, as the title's ornate majuscule proclaimed."</blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a book that should be published. The idea of this manuscript has bored its way into my brain like some science fiction death worm, and I so, so want to spend time with that book. Anyway, thats my two cents worth. </span>Xellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16176255021817761580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13768741.post-23519890399828982342011-02-20T08:48:00.000-05:002011-02-20T08:48:58.674-05:00<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Is Ken Jennings calling Watson a nerd?</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Or just talking smack, and hopin' for a rematch?</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivM9JrlSnodfKGHJJIqkRfLGgPMkngLBAKWigXM6vJbX3yeZkumtWNUxlLt9FnF5DzvBaQ6wi1KIRGlpm9mYmLFnBVhMYHdUtP8gkSPhIXorouQPicmzqRua_jAqqDe4GVeQzO/s1600/ibm-watson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivM9JrlSnodfKGHJJIqkRfLGgPMkngLBAKWigXM6vJbX3yeZkumtWNUxlLt9FnF5DzvBaQ6wi1KIRGlpm9mYmLFnBVhMYHdUtP8gkSPhIXorouQPicmzqRua_jAqqDe4GVeQzO/s320/ibm-watson.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>T-Minus</i> is a terrific graphic account of the race to the moon. They call it a work of historical fiction; it is largely set in the NASA of the 1960s, and seen through the eyes of the engineers. I especially enjoyed the depictions of the NASA procedures.</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From <u>The Lampshade</u> by Mark Jacobson</div><blockquote><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Weird tattoo you got there," I mentioned to Skip, referencing the image on his right bicep depicting an astronaut, wearing a NASA suit, floating free beside a Gemini space capsule. "Who's that?"</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Who?" Skip replied, ever peeved at the ignorant, poking an index finger at his upper arm. "That's Ed White, my hero." </span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Ed White, the astronaut, is your hero?"</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"First American to ever walk in space. Ed fucking White."</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was at this point that Skip's version of the Ed White spacewalk diverged from the official NASA account. As per many published stories at the time, Skip believed that when White made his historic jaunt on June 3, 1965, the astronaut was subject to a condition know to scuba divers as being "narked," or so one theory goes. This occurs when the change in external pressure makes nitrogen more soluble in the body tissues, causing the diver, or in this case the spacewalker, to experience sensations not unlike ingesting several drinks or breathing nitrous oxide. In other words, while floating amid the boundless expanse of the universe, Ed White was stoned out of his mind.</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He was enjoying himself so much that he refused to return to the space capsule. When fellow astronaut James McDivitt signaled that the walk should conclude, White replied,"No way." "McDivitt had to drag White back in," Skip recounted. When White was finally pulled back into the ship, he said,"This is the saddest moment of my life, coming back in here."</span></blockquote>Xellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16176255021817761580noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13768741.post-33165895554038952312010-10-30T16:45:00.001-04:002010-10-30T16:52:39.113-04:00<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">American Business Coops</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Profits!?
