Jinn of Quality and Risk

Evil Bert's cameo appearances rock. 

Physics and computer science genius Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica, outlines a fundamental way of modeling complex systems —cellular automata— and presents a series of dramatic discoveries. These sycophantic articles provide praise and more context. 

Nearly every company [lacks] an efficient way to decide which things to do first. The last step is the key: mapping the features onto four quadrants, based on importance and feasibility, allows people to focus the conversation and make effective decisions. Reminds me of Covey's time management tool in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and First Things First — his four quadrants are based on importance and urgency. I've used a similar, quadrant-based activity to facilitate risk management sessions. It works!

Sigh. I (briefly) used flowcharts two decades ago. Then (in the mid-80's) we (CS majors) graduated to use pseudo-code (Pascal- or Ada-like) because it's non-ambiguous, more expressive, and very compact in addition to mapping easily into the design and implementation. Later, a number of specialised diagramming tools (not flowcharts) were standardised into UML. Thus beware of flowcharts, eye suspiciously those who advocate them, and check this "visual vocabulary": Diagrams are an essential tool for communicating information architecture and interaction design in Web development teams. This document discusses the considerations in development of such diagrams, outlines a basic symbology for diagramming information architecture and interaction design concepts, and provides guidelines for the use of these elements. 

what is Uzilla? 

It's a desktop web publishing system, content management system, news feed aggregator, and outliner. Radio UserLand is an amazing piece of software. I don't think it can be described in any single step. Here are a few ways to look at Radio from a technically educated standpoint... 

Twelve species are featured along with sound recordings of their respective song. Very nice idea. On a related note, ornithologists have often pondered what determines when a particular species begins its morning singing. Now, scientists say that they've found [an] explanation: The larger a bird's eyes, the earlier it starts to sing.
