It’s for real (not a spoof). Scottevest are very nice. After watching that video, I’m very tempted to get one.

I can’t remember the last time I used an outdoor vest (if ever?), but I wouldn’t mind if I could get one with that many pockets

Comment on Sir Patrick Stewart. It will be so milord. by Alan Ralph

Alan Ralph — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:18:47 +0000

Of course, the newspapers (and the BBC) referred to Sir Pratrick as “the Star Trek actor” – and then mentioned that he told of how he was turned down for several roles because the producer / director “did not want Jean-Luc Picard”.

I’m guessing he wasn’t reading the papers yesterday.

Great show, guys. Keep it up.

I’ve been wading through my podcast backlog and I’ve been following the various keyboard discussions. A couple of comments for you…

The various international keyboard layouts originated with typewriters and not computers. As you said, they were created to help prevent jamming the typebars. Since different languages tend to have a different distribution of the letters, the keyboards tended to get reorganized by language. (You can see this distribution issue in foreign language Scrabble sets. eg: A Polish scrabble set has 5 Zs, K & W are among the highest scoring letters in French and there are no Js or Ks in an Italian set)

There was a minor dig at Apple for using a “non standard” keyboard This is actually the “standard” that most computer terminals and computer equipment used prior to the IBM PC. Smith-Corona, Underwood, Remington, etc. all followed a similar layout in typwriters. It was the IBM Selectric that used the oddball layout which carried through to the IBM PC. You can still see the “standard” keyboard layout in the UK and on many other international english keyboards. This is a fine example of a short-lived IBM advertising campaign from the late 70’s “We don’t follow standards, we make them”. (or something to that effect)

Comment on Hey Jude – the flowchart by Chuck Tomasi

We need one more arrow from the top “hey jude” to the bottom “na” for the second half of the song. Looks like Rev 1.1 is needed. Better submit an ECO.
