Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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 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.

I don't think there's sufficient upside to cover it being impenetrable for the colour blind member of the audience. I think his presence encourages positive usability choices. Hell, he runs the web team. You know our eight corporate websites are nice and legible.
But this is also a corporate culture where people demand the slide deck before the meeting and print themselves a copy to leaf through during it. And these slides will likely be appendix, so maybe not viewed onscreen until someone works out they can't tell what they're saying on paper.
That Miami Times article--wow. It eerily recalls the behavior of the Manticore kids in Dark Angel, down to the gentle, benificent spirit they called the Blue Lady, and some of the other details. Makes me wonder where the writers got that stuff. And of course, the article itself provokes big sympathy, and kind of an anthropological desire to know more.
