Brit Bars with Flowers and Magaizines

VIA the Frisky
"Call me prissy, but I avoid bars like I avoid men who wear bow ties. The loud music, the basketball game on TV, the syphilitic-looking bathrooms? No thank you. I’d much rather meet my girls for a Frappuccino or a mani-pedi, any place where the seats aren’t sticky. But if dive bars took a cue from the Brits, I might be convinced to change my ways: Greene King, a chain of pubs in the U.K., is revamping 1,600 watering holes to make them friendlier to female customers. According to London’s Daily Mail, Greene King pubs are wooing the ladies by offering larger wine glasses, decorating the bar tops with flowers and magazines, and filling the bathroom with free toiletries. “Pubs often fail to accommodate women eating and drinking alone or out with other female friends,” said Greene King’s director of recruitment. “Typically pubs generally target mainly men, under 25s and families, and we need to redress the balance.” Even though these perks are supposed to appeal to the so-called “SWAG” demographic — Sassy, Wise And Grown Up, meaning over age 35 — you won’t hear me complaining if someone girly-ed up the local dive.

RIT’s CTRL ALT DELi:

RIT’s Ctrl Alt Deli: Quite possibly the ‘nerdiest’ delicatessen in America?
Eatery’s menu features ‘mega byte,’ ‘half byte’ sandwiches

---

by RIT University News, Dec. 23, 2009 —

RIT’s recently opened Ctrl Alt Deli (pronounced “Control Alt Deli”) has a name that possibly only a computer geek could love—and, fortunately, RIT has no shortage of them.

The deli’s moniker pays tribute to the so-called “three finger salute” (the personal-computer keyboard combination—Control+Alt+Delete—used to reboot a computer).

It has been described as “the nerdiest deli” in America. And, you know, that sounds about right. After all, not many menus begin this way:

C:\>dir Design_Your_Own_Sandwich

The eatery—featuring “Mega Byte” and “Half Byte” sandwiches—is located, appropriately, in the atrium of Building 70, home to RIT’s B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences. That means the 2,363 computer geeks—’er make that RIT students majoring in computer science, information technology, interactive games and media, networking, systems administration, and software engineering—help ensure a steady flow of customers.

Michael Chin, a first-year computer science major from the Bronx, N.Y., submitted the winning entry—one of eight suggestions—in a naming contest.

“I thought, how can I infuse something about computers that is easily recognizable and that everyone would know, and include something about the deli with it? Then I glanced at my keyboard, and the rest was history,” Chin recounts. “I was proudest of this one.”

Though he has patronized the deli only a handful of times since it opened, he plans to return.

“I’ve wanted to stop by for a visit and say something along the lines of, ‘Hey, I named this deli. Pretty cool, huh?’ But I haven’t as of yet.”

An announcement about the deli, “tweeted,” fittingly enough, on Twitter, drew instant response.

“This might be the nerdiest deli in the United States,” mused RIT alumna Kayla Zerby ’05 (professional and technical communication), tweeting from Newport Beach, Calif. “Yeah, I want mayo. No, wait. Ctrl+Z. Mustard.”

“At first, I thought, ‘You’ve got to be kidding,’” adds Zerby, who recently relocated to New York City. “But it quickly switched to, ‘This is genius. Talk about knowing your customers.’”

The Ctrl Alt Deli joins another on-campus outlet with a digital-age-themed name, Bytes on the Run, a “grab-and-go” convenience store that opened in the fall in RIT’s Student Alumni Union.

“Nerdiest convenience store” and “nerdiest deli” in the nation? Sure, that sounds about right. And at RIT, that’s a badge of honor!

Twin Video Puts Operator in the Frame

Twin Video Puts Idiotic Operator in the Frame



"Imagine a video camera with lenses front and back, a camera which could shoot both interviewee and interviewer simultaneously. Imagine then being able to cut back and forth between them, with everything, including stereo sound, in perfect sync.

Imagine now that you had made such a machine, and then crippled it, turning it into a novelty device that puts a feed of you, the camera operator, in the corner of all your footage, grinning and gurning in a repulsive, annoying video commentary. It’s like the most moronic DVD-extra commentary track, only worse, because you can see it.

That camera exists. The Twin Video has cameras firing in both directions, along with a pair of mics. As you shoot, you can choose which of the images is set picture-in-picture and which is the full-sized master. You can also split the screen to show both. Examples of use: rollercoasters, merry-go-rounds (carousels) and “interviews” conducted by narcissists.

Otherwise, the Twin Video looks very similar to a Flip, or – stylistically – the Kodak Zx1. It records to SD or SDHC, hooks up to a computer via USB and has a built-in, rechargeable battery. The price is still undecided, and the camera should be in stores in the first half of this year."

Font Letter to Director

Posted by Printersting on January 6th, 2010:

On Monday the Pr*tty Sh*tty design blog posted an open letter to the film maker James Cameron from the font Papyrus. In this post Papyrus expresses a great deal of gratitude for the prominent use of Papyrus font both in the title and in the subtitles in the film Avatar.

"Goodness knows I’ve worked hard the past 26 years to make a name for myself. And it’s felt great coming to the aid of New Age spa owners, suburban party planners, and young couples looking to save money by making their own wedding invitations. But only now, by appearing in your movie, have I been given mainstream, high-level recognition as a serious typeface. And for that, I thank you."
