Breaking up through PowerPoint – And he mentions Tufte!
Washington DC for the weekend!
Matt discovers the evils of web filters – I’d say its a problem that no one cares about these things until they see their own site blocked, but that’s not as much of a problem as it sounds, since normal, useful sites are so frequently blocked.
