Cultural Aspects of Computing?
Sean80 asks: "Recently, my company discovered that cultural aspects impact significantly on the expectations for a piece of software. For example, we found that the features which the Japanese would like differ markedly from those demanded in the US. In one particular instance, the Japanese market seemed far more demanding of functionality which dealt with quality issues. I am trying to find good books or other resources which address this issue. Are there any out there? What other areas of computing are impacted by cultural considerations? Should I consider these differences when building UIs, for example?"
picked up my tux after school today. It's nice. Black, bowtie + vest, white shirt. It's pretty normal, but apparently I look sharp in it. Can't wait for Friday.
I didn't go to disc practice today because I had a lot of homework, which is still true, but I have tomorrow as well to work on it.
Radio station was fun. Nate and Jameson were there, as usual. Travis showed up again, and Kevin whined his way there, as Kevin is apt to do. He's very annoying like that, and then whines that no one likes him.
I didn't go online for real until after radio show at quarter past nine-ish, so Emily was away, then logged off. This is the one month mark of us going out. I hope it lasts for many months more, if not longer.

There's a rumor going around that Katz fucked a penguin. Is this true???
You can't tell whether it really is the first stripe that was cut out. Perhaps it was the thirteenth one? Or perhaps three states were cut out, and two new imaginary states put in? It could be that the displayed flag is for an entire nation different from the U.S. that, in an eerie way, developed the same flag, but for 12 founding states!
