Is half of today’s choice quote, courtesy of Herb Simon: “a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. At least the first part is true from my first two days at Stanford, which have seen me speaking deutsch (alle ist guht), finding our natural blindspots in a neuroscience lecture (where all the retinal nerves feed back to the brain), designing an app for people waiting in line (or queuing as we say in the old world) and hearing about Edward Tufte in a data visualization lecture. Am thinking I’ve got to jettison the neuroscience in order to find some time to juggle new classes and work on this project. Speaking of which, find out about the very exciting developments with that on the project page.
In other news, the Playboy feature on the Stanford Graphic Novel is out, and the SF Chronicle have already been in touch to get Adam and my studied responses to appearing in its hallowed pages. Also gearing up for the big Borderland talk at Stanford’s d.School on Thursday at 5pm: Comics and Social Change. More on Borderland here and here – we’re almost at 50% of our total! We have it on good authority that most of the fund raising activity happens either in the opening or closing days of a pledge campaign, so please help us out if you haven’t already. We’ve had loads of RSVPs so are looking forward to a big crowd of socially-motivated graphic artists, writers and comicsphiles amongst others.
