:: I always find reading more satisfying because I don’t have to listen to the tedious parts. Skimming is such a joy. ::
I’m the same way, M. Don’t go to SK2 or Neon.
Never. Occasionally Praying Medic, but he never frustrates or bores me.
I used to get into arguments at IBM Research over computer designed indices and hand-generated ones. My position was that hand done was better. Their’s was that the joy was of no human effort. When I retired, one of my early games was to see if I could make a digital book that was BETTER than holding a physical book in the hands and skimming. I used an art book that had belonged to my grandmother, mother and me. It was falling apart and my goal was to save it, and experiment, too. I took the same text and images and laid it out in 3 different ways so that the reader could choose the way that was most natural for them to follow. I actually think it worked. And it’s still the part of my non-Henry site that gets the most hits.
