I feel awkward trying to reduce the number of colours in this presentation, but we can't depend on red-green-yellow-grey to convey information because a) black and white printers and b) I definitely know of one red-green colour blind person in the eventual audience.

But I thought I'd made that point before, and I pointedly encoded the information in writing and colours, and now the writing part is gone.

How much do I argue with a director?

ita !, no, the Miami pre-teens one.

Ah...Miami New Times? I call it oppression by The Man, then. It's really definitely worth reading, though. Beautiful and sad. And kind of inspiring, even to a heart-dead person like myself.

How likely are people to print it, and how much do you need to enable that? I.e., is the intent for them to be viewed on screen?

We have an official color palette we're supposed to use, and when it first came out someone went through and recolored all of our standard graphics.

Nice, but less than helpful on the ones that show a performance scoreboard - red and green are pretty instantly recongizable as indicating a project on or off track. Various shades of pink and grey, less so.

OMG, ita, this one! [link] (I queued it for tomorrow.)

Virtual cocktail party tonight?

I'd be up for it, Lee.

I've moved on to boredom eating to go with my Prosecco, and the baked flour tortillas are fantastic crackers! I'd do that again for sure.

I'd be up for it, Lee.

I can be home with wine or a cocktail in hand at 6:30 or 7:00 board time.

So apparently the answer to "that's weird, when did my grandmother get an iPhone?" is that I have the wrong number in my phone for her cell. So whoever's been getting my messages in Cincinnati, sorry!

Heh.

I kind of love the idea of a board cocktail party. The end of this week definitely calls for a ridiculous drink or two.

Also, I watched the very first ST:TNG episode last night, and I would really like to go home and just watch the next three or four right now, thank you.
