Yes, you know about Watchmen, and Maus, and Sandman, and Ghost World, and Scott Pilgrim, etc. But what are some of the hidden gems of awesomeness in the world of comics?

You may not know or care much about copyright law, but don't worry, it cares about you.

No matter who you are or what you do, you are a copyright criminal. This isn't really your fault; but it's true nonetheless.

The liminal areas of the copyright act are, to put it kindly, insane. This talk examines some of those areas, and offers some ways to help change them.


Designers can make the world a better place.

Regardless of the medium, be it form and space, shadow and light or electrons and pixels, design skills can be used to save lives and improve the environment.

Classical Revolution is a worldwide collective dedicated to spreading chamber music outside its usual borders. Amidst cries about the irrelevancy of classical music, Classical Revolution shows not only that classical music can be relevant, but that it is relevant. The intimate, direct, human, social, interactive, and real-time nature of chamber music makes it eternally powerful, and yet we erect barriers between audiences and performers in the form of recital halls, clapping rules, and social stratification. By putting chamber music back where it belongs—in small rooms, with friends—Classical Revolution restores that power.


The current recipe design has been around for over 3500 years with only minor tweeks in the last 100 years. With all of the things we've learned about information design, brain processing, and performance support, we should be able to design a better recipe...one that doesn't cause screw ups in the kitchen. Other than dropping food on the floor or leaving something in the oven too long, most screw ups are caused by bad design. We'll look at a few of them and how to recognize them in any recipe you read.
