Remember Aug 21 scandal map link? Well in linking to Larry's other adjacent posts, it seems evident to me that he originally got this from Mark Poyser, and incidentally, Mark's site is also well worth exploring to see other great cartoons, with some guidance on how to print this stuff. When it was originally copied, the copyright credit should also have been copied, or more clearly stated, a scenario which may need to be better spelled out in my e-Etiquette Guidelines. In addition to the great cartoons on Mark's other pages, don't forget to check out Cartoonist Tom Tomorrow's Blog, which I found out about thanks to an article by Steve Outing.
You know how a picture is worth a thousand words? Well there are people who are gifted in communicating using the pictures rather than the 1 k words, and I want to find and rejoice in more such examples of how software can be used to better fulfill the promise of GUI, which Xerox invented and Apple Mac popularized and now is almost a PC standard. Click on any door or window of Pam's house, then when you see what she has done, start mouse exploring the whole page for other links. Be sure to return from time to time, because the picture changes with the time of day and seasons of year.
I have a Radio Wish Dream of how computer software documentation could use Pam's model. You see a picture of a Radio website populated with all the goodies. Move mouse over individual ingredients and there are links that work differently based on right or left mouse click, that connect you to right terminology for this feature, documentation on conceptually how it might be used, and how to implement it on your site.
