week 7 follow-up

Glen's lecture slides are now available for download on BB in the usual place. If you'd like to take a closer look at the Minard flow map I showed at the end of class, see last week's lecture slides and you can zoom right in on Prezi. Wikipedia has a good page on Raphael's painting School of Athens, with labels for the identifiable figures. The reading I was drawing upon is from Alexander Nagel and Christopher Wood's excellent book Anachronic Renaissance, particularly from their final chapter, "Space for Fiction" (http://go.utlib.ca/cat/7131999).

In the spirit of Glen's examples of badly designed survey questions, there's an odd and interesting survey that you can take as part of an alternate reality game that was created for the videogame Portal.  Go to web.archive.org/web/20090207023938/http://aperturescience.com/ and type "LOGIN" at the prompt. Enter the username "CJOHNSON" and the password "TIER3", then type "APPLY" at the prompt. The survey should start from there. If you have any trouble, see http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/ApertureScience.com.
