There is so much bad design in the world that we can’t see the forest for the trees. Design is difficult and we generally don’t try, because we think it’s superficial rather than fundamental. One exception is Apple. But look how they are doing.

I was just reading his web site yesterday, and he mentioned that it had some of the best acoustics of anywhere he’s done his seminars.

So it makes sense that I went to one Of Tufte’s seminars that was held in Caroline’s Comedy Club. No joke.

Getting called to the couch was extremely rare and Seinfeld wasn’t, but it wasn’t this that made careers on the Tonight Show; it was being invited back.

Tufte’s appearance on Carson talking about Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow didn’t go over nearly as well
