"He told NPR in 1978, 'There's a relationship between attention span and morality. I think that, if you shorten people's attention span a great deal, you are left with only the attraction of power.'

"In 1992, he told NPR that his mission was to make the world a better place through his work, going beyond entertainment. 'That's what we live for, isn't it?' he said. 'To try to make it better.'"

Marcel Ophuls, who chronicled 20th century conflict and atrocities, dies at 97.

Wenn ihr in der Revisionshistorie in einem technischen Dokukment lapidar "Anpassung Abbildung 73" schreibt, dann macht da bitte entweder eine Referenz auf das Objekt oder schreibt auch den Titel der Abbildung mit dazu. Wenn später irgendwann mal eine Abbildung 54 eingefügt wird, wird die Abbildung 80 nämlich zur Abbildung 81. Und wenn dann jemand – aus Gründen – frühere Änderungen in dem Dokument nachvollziehen soll, wird's das schwierig bis unmöglich.

Because I moved around as a kid, I took keyboarding classes twice, so I’m a very fast typist.

As a project manager leading conference calls with clients, I practiced active listening, taking comprehensive and accurate meeting minutes during the call.

I’d clean them up and send out minutes after everyone hung up.

Conference calls are just Zoom meetings without the video.

Do you have an alt in order to anonymize yourself and avoid repercussions of sharing your opinion in public?

Do you want to write about your experience, observations, and insights?

Do you need to get your thoughts out there?

What if you had a platform to publish longform pieces under a pseudonym?

I can help.

Please hit me up.

I have a place for you to hit “post.”

I just did a large #InformationArchitecutre refactor of an internal documentation set.

It all builds nicely now in @gitlab so now there is only one thing left to do...

#grammar and #style checks on every new page using #grammarly
Even though it is internal docs doesn't mean it should be shitty quality docs.

There's this concept of paradigm shift, where you understand something you didn't before, and your whole view of the scope changes.
Sometimes the difference between that and basically going insane is just a matter of semantics.

Photo Series Documents 51 Years of The World Trade Center Site

Photographer Camilo José Vergara has created a set of 52 images that pay homage to the victims of the September 11, 2001 Attack on New York City, by looking back at the site over the course of the last 51 years.

The series is being released as the 20th anniversary of the attacks approaches in the coming weeks.

Camilo José Vergara is recognized as one of the nation’s foremost urban documentarians and was honored with a National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama in 2012 and was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2002. His photographs -- which were acquired by the Library of Congress, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, among other institutions -- have been the subject of numerous exhibitions, books, essays, and lectures.

"Few urban districts in modern history have been more discussed than Lower Manhattan, and the World Trade Center (WTC) has held a prominent place in accounts of the area since it was completed in 1973. Radio Row, a viable neighborhood, had to make way for the Twin Towers, which were widely criticized on both aesthetic and political grounds; many regarded them as soulless behemoths and arrogant symbols of American imperialism. But their destruction brought a kind of horror not previously seen in the United States, and triggered years of wars and political instability in distant countries.

The full series that is on display as part of an exhibition The National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. -- which the Museum says is dedicated to those who perished and those who responded to the attack that took place 20 years ago -- features 52 total images that look into the half-century that has passed since the original World Trade Center was constructed. Vergara began taking interest in the area in 1970, two years after initial construction began and three years before the twin towers would open.

"I closely followed the construction of the towers, watching heavy trucks bring in steel or haul away dirt amid the noise of jackhammers and clanging metal. As they rose to become the tallest buildings in the world, I regarded them as a wild expression of mistaken priorities in a troubled time," Vergara says.

"More than half a million Americans were fighting in Vietnam, and many parts of New York were crumbling, segregated, poor, and violent. This reality shaped my early encounters with the towers, and I tried to convey my feelings by photographing them with homeless people in the foreground, or in harsh sunlight that turned the buildings into gleaming blades. It seemed impossible that I would outlive them."

Vergara says that eventually his initial resentment faded, and he began to see them as great human creations.

"As I traveled farther away to photograph the towers from distant boroughs, they seemed to lose their solidity and become mysterious, fantastic, and alluring. I liked seeing them in the background of my photos as they rose above houses, waterways, vegetation, junkyards, expressways, and elevated trains," he says.

"On September 11, 2001, the WTC area went from being a place symbolizing pride and power to one of smoking rubble and death. There has been much rebuilding and renewal since then, including several landmarks designed by star architects built to the north, east, and south of the land once occupied by the towers."

Vergara has photographed not only the area that became the original twin towers but also the rise of the new skyscrapers that were built around the memorial spaces that honor those who died in the attacks.

The National Building Museum says that Vergara's most recent work captures the effects of the Coronavirus in poor, segregated communities across the New York metropolitan area.

"The tallest, darkest, and most fortified tower, One World Trade Center, stands disconnected from the memorial, the museum and the rest of the complex. Now, many fear that a remote workforce engendered by the pandemic will continue to haunt this largely empty district. And so yet another chapter in the history of the area begins."
