I was running a user test for a client in the Meredith computer lab and used this sign to find the men's room. It makes sense that the men's room would end up being smaller than a closet.
Larry and I continued our walking exploration of the Beechville, Lakeside, Timberlea rail trail system. It looks like there is an interconnecting rail trail system that links Halifax and Lunenburg, so we have a good amount of walking ahead of us.

“The Life, Lessons & Rules for Success of Jeff Bezos” was purchased at Amazon on June 17, 2019. In order to purchase the book, Amazon forced the customer to go through 12 different interfaces made of large amounts of code. Overall, we were able to track 1307 different requests to all sorts of scripts which equaled 8724 pages of printed code and 87.33Mb of data. Amazon’s business model is based on “obsessive costumer focus,” which entails the continuous tracking of customer behavior in order to amplify the monetization of the user. Thus, the 87.33Mb of code responsible for tracking user activity that were involuntarily loaded by the customer through the browser, relentlessly put Amazon’s core money-making strategy to work. Moreover, all the energy needed to load all this data was effectively unloaded upon the customer, who ultimately assumed not just part of the economic costs of Amazon’s monetization processes, but also a portion of its environmental footprint. The piece narrates the journey of the customer within the labyrinth of interfaces and code that allowed them to buy Jeff Bezos’s book, while also revealing the rising energy costs that were unwittingly paid for by the Amazon customer.

CNUG April 2012 Users Group
Get Yourself Kinect-ed
This month we look at how you can build Windows applications that utilize Microsoft Kinect for Windows.
Prior to the regularly scheduled CNUG meeting the Chicago Azure Cloud Users Group and Scott Seely will present "Intro to Windows Azure and Windows Azure Appfabric" at 5:30PM.
Sponsor: Solving IT!
Website: www.solvingit.com/
When: April 18th
Where: Microsoft Downers Grove
3025 Highland Parkway
Downers Grove, IL
Agenda:
5:30PM - Arrival
6:30PM - Food and Beverages
7:00PM - Get Yourself Kinect-ed! - Greg Levenhagen, Skyline Technologies
Abstract:
Kinect development used to mean hacking without any support, but now that the Kinect SDK, Kinect for Windows hardware and commercial support for non-XBOX 360 applications has been released, the full power of the Kinect is unleashed. Come see how to start developing with the Kinect, using its hardware features and what the Kinect SDK provides.

In Interactive Design 3, students are asked to select from one of three client briefs to develop a social change project. Cherie, Michael and Jay chose to develop a mobile application to assist with earthquake preparedness. The application offers device features, such as RSS, GPS tracking and "bounce location" to sustain user correspondence during disaster relief efforts.
The team divided the roles and responsibilities to tackle strategic review, competitive analysis, moodboards, user experience, information architecture and interactive design.

People in the Michigan LEGO Users Group have built LEGO replicas of a number of Downtown skyscrapers and landmarks over the years. Other builders have constructed additional Detroit structures including Adam Tucker's model of Ford Field and the various Detroit LEGO buildings displayed at Great Lakes Crossing's LEGOLAND Discovery Center in northern Oakland County.
Almost all of the building photo's are mine. Twelve of the twenty six LEGO builds are mine as well.
Since the map only shows Detroit's downtown, it unfortunately excludes a number of other LEGO creations including my Fisher Building, Southwest side YMCA, and assorted other models, Chris's Michigan Central Station, and at least four of Peter's LEGO builds which include two Brush Park mansions, Pewabic Pottery, and old Redford St. Mary's Church. I may create a second diagram using a map of all of Detroit so I can show those LEGO models.
This is a large image, so zoom in if you want to see the map and LEGO models in detail.

Centro de Tenis LA CAJA MÁGICA (THE MAGIC BOX)
Arquitecto: Dominique Perrault: 2003-2005 (Proyecto) 2005-2009 (obras)
El conjunto se sitúa en un arco del río Manzanares, en el distrito de Usera, frente al Poblado de S. Fermín, con accesos por el camino de Perales y la prolongación de la calle de Embajadores dentro de a segunda fase del Parque Lineal del Manzanares Sur cuyo plan Director fue proyectado por el arquitecto Ricardo Bofill en 1998, que también se encargó de la ejecución de la primera fase del parque entre 2001 y 2003. El núcleo central de la 2ª fase del Parque Lineal del Manzanares es la denominada “Caja Mágica”, una de las actuaciones estelares de la candidatura olímpica "Madrid 2012" para Centro Olímpico de Tenis, según proyecto, ganador del concurso de 2002, del prestigioso arquitecto francés Dominique Perrault. La obra, iniciada en 2005, ralentiza en su ejecución al no designarse Madrid sede olímpica. Se retoman las obras, ante la imposición de los organizadores del Master de Tenis de Madrid, a fin de no perder la organización de tal evento. Definitivamente el complejo se culmina en 2009 y se incorpora a la nueva candidatura olímpica "Madrid 2016"
El conjunto se materializa mediante la conjunción de una serie de elementos arquitectónicos y paisajísticos cuyo bloque central es La Caja Mágica propiamente dicha. El concepto de caja mágica viene dado por su envoltura que se abre y se transforma siguiendo los usos del complejo deportivo, y creando una silueta cambiante y vivaz en el paisaje. Esta piel brillante y vibrante filtra el sol y protege, como una leve muralla, los pabellones deportivos. Caja Mágica que reivindica la arquitectura como envolvente para crear un lugar abierto día y noche, cuya silueta varíe en cada evento. Por sus dimensiones y carácter, puede albergar programas culturales y deportivos, al aire libre o cubiertos. Caja de sorpresas donde se solapan dos mundos, en la cota más baja el de los profesionales del deporte y por encima el público. Su piel móvil, en paneles de vidrio y tejido metálico, filtra de día la luz solar y de noche centellea con matices festivos y luminosos, suaviza vientos dominantes e impide el paso de la lluvia. Sobre un plano de agua los reflejos se multiplican convirtiendo el edificio en un elemento vivo en continuidad con el entorno natural. Las cubiertas móviles suponen un reto estructural, pueden abrirse completamente o quedar entreabiertas para proporcionar una sombra controlada y constante sobre los terrenos de juego. Por ello todas las pistas pueden utilizarse tanto al aire libre como cubiertas total o parcialmente gracias a unos mecanismos que permiten deslizar el techo para abrirlo o levantarlo como si de la tapa de una verdadera caja se tratara, lo que da la posibilidad de que se jueguen hasta tres partidos simultáneos en caso de lluvia, algo que ningún otro torneo en tierra del mundo ofrece. La pista central, llamada “Manolo Santana”, tiene capacidad para 12.500 personas; la segunda, dedicada a Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, 3.800 plazas; y la tercera 2.500. Realizada completamente en acero, madera y vidrio, la Caja Mágica garantiza el ahorro energético gracias a su cubierta de malla de acero inoxidable tensada con tapas de aluminio natural. La fachada está recubierta de una malla de acero inoxidable tensada, lo que confiere al edificio un aspecto dinámico y cambiante: de día, reflectante y opaco; de noche, centelleante.
El Edificio de Tenis-Indoor, alojará la Sede Madrileña de la Federación Española de Tenis, y cuenta con 11 canchas de tenis cubiertas que se usaran tanto para el entrenamiento como para la exhibición., escuela de tenis y centro de alto rendimiento con instalaciones adicionales como alojamientos, piscina cubierta, salas de prensa, zonas de restauración… El edificio presenta dos fachadas radicalmente diferentes; la orientada al Camino de Perales, de menor escala, formada por un muro cortina longitudinal, y la opuesta, enfrentada a la Caja Mágica y al Parque, con dos tratamientos, la zona de las pistas de exhibición es también acristalada, pero con la estructura vista, y la de la zona de las pistas de entrenamiento, formada por malla metálica.
