Lotusphere groundhog day

Category lotusphere2008
This evening I went to see No Country for Old Men - excellent film (or 'movie', depending where you're from).

What has this got to do with Lotusphere? Well, nothing.

But AFTER the cinema, I went for a pint in the John Snow in Soho. Those who attended the Lotusphere 'Business Development Day' this year will already know the story. Otherwise, read all about John Snow's great achievement. Then, after the John Snow, I went out for dinner and drank sake.

So, two alcohol-related connections to Lotusphere 2008 in one day ...

I have been reading the book - "The Ghost map", and it's a good read.

The John Snow story is also mentioned in Edward Tufte's great book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. Not a particularly snappy title, but a wonderful work and essential reading.

The Ghost Map is in my Amazon I'll buy this when I've read a few more of the unread books that are already stacked up in himalayan heaps around the house (okay, I'm exaggerating slightly but only a bit) list.
