It contains examples of what you can do with TeX, the typesetting engine from Donald Knuth, world famous mathematician, computer scientist and above all well known for TeX. I will try to keep this showcase small. For remarks on submissions, see at the end of this document. In this showcase, you will not only find examples of material prepared with TeX proper, but also with macro packages like LaTeX, ConTeXt and with related programs like METAPOST. And though TeX is a typesetting language, you will find graphics and even an MPEG movie. emmineb Thu, 28 Jun 2007 15:09:52 GMT http://infosthetics.com/archives/2007/05/touchgraph_amazon_browser.html an interactive network visualization that aims to reveal the intricate network structure within purchase pattern recommendations. users can explore related books or albums, see how similar items form clusters around common subjects, & discover how the clusters themselves are connected within the information space. it seems the visual information design & interactive features have been dramatically enhanced since their first google browser version about 2 years ago. emmineb Fri, 25 May 2007 08:10:44 GMT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Seraphinianus The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978.[1] The book is approximately 360 pages long (depending on edition), and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, an incomprehensible (at least for us) alphabetic writing. emmineb Thu, 03 Jan 2008 14:18:56 GMT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book with incomprehensible contents. It is thought to have been written between approximately 1450 and 1520 by an unknown author in an unidentified script and language. Over its recorded existence, the Voynich manuscript has been the object of intense study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers of World War II fame (all of whom failed to decrypt a single word). This string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into a famous subject of historical cryptology, but it has also given weight to the theory that the book is simply an elaborate hoax — a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols. emmineb Thu, 03 Jan 2008 14:15:54 GMT http://www.healthbolt.net/2007/02/14/26-reasons-what-you-think-is-right-is-wrong/ A cognitive bias is something that our minds commonly do to distort our own view of reality. Here are the 26 most studied and widely accepted cognitive biases. 1. Bandwagon effect - the tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. Related to groupthink, herd behaviour, and manias. Carl Jung pioneered the idea of the collective unconscious which is considered by Jungian psychologists to be responsible for this cognitive bias. 2. Bias blind spot - the tendency not to compensate for one’s own cognitive biases. 3. Choice-supportive bias - the tendency to remember one’s choices as better than they actually were. emmineb Tue, 29 May 2007 15:30:19 GMT http://42explore.com/calligrphy.htm Easier - Calligraphy is the art of making beautiful or elegant handwriting. It is a fine art of skilled penmanship. Harder - The word calligraphy literally means beautiful writing. Before the invention of the printing press some 500 years ago, it was the way books were made. Each copy was handwritten out by a scribe working in a scriptorium. The hand writing was done with quill and ink onto materials like vellum or parchment. The lettering style applied was one of the period bookhands like rustic, carolingian, blackletter, etc. Today, there are three main types or styles of calligraphy: (1) Western or Roman, (2) Arabic, and (3) Chinese or Oriental. This project focuses mainly on Western calligraphy with a glimpse at the other two styles. emmineb Sun, 17 Dec 2006 05:52:49 GMT http://www.quietfiredesign.com/byhandproductscalligraphynibs.html Nibs and Holders emmineb Sun, 17 Dec 2006 05:55:19 GMT http://www.dicocitations.com/resultat.php?id=4281 Tacitus - Dicocitations <<quote>> emmineb Tue, 09 Jan 2007 22:42:50 GMT http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/fifty-50-tools-which-can-help-you-in-writing.html emmineb Fri, 02 Jun 2006 07:44:47 GMT
