20061109 – Clint’s cube at work – 108-0840 – monitors view


Image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos (ClintJCL)
From inside my cube, looking out behind my monitors, this picture says so much! I set it up to minimize the amount of eyeball movement necessary to change what I see from work, to Carolyn. Her pictures are RIGHT there (and were printed for free).

You can also see my gmail inbox, not quite as clean as I usually try to keep it (zoom in to see some interesting subject lines and such).

You can see my insane Photoshop layers on the right. Keeping successive screenshots lined up is hard when you have to move whitespace around to make the images fit into a smaller box, yet you want each image to line-up with the last. Never resize! It makes it look like crap! Just remove whitespace! It’s tedious and anal but gives MUCH better results.

Anyway, I number each layer, followed by the FILEname of the jpg, followed by a numbered list of other layers required to make that JPG. I color green/blue when ready for export, red if I know that layer is never to be used again, purple if it’s a support-only layer, yellow if I really don’t know yet. I got way past 100 layers.

Mouse over for copious notes on this picture.

George Westinghouse: Gentle Genius

George Westinghouse’s story is rich in drama and in breadth, a story of power, city building, and applying the Golden Rule in business. His biography intersects with those of many great personalities of the Gilded Age, such as J.P Morgan, Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Carnegie, the Mellon Family, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Nikola Tesla.
One of the most successful industrialists in America, George Westinghouse was a wizard who took a much different approach than Thomas Edison. Westinghouse became a manager of innovation. He was not only an inventor in his own right, but the orchestra leader of a symphony of ideas. Westinghouse developed the corporate model of invention and research.

His innovations allowed Westinghouse to take the lead in electrical distribution. While Edison electrified New York City, the nation turned in favor of the AC current system of Westinghouse. He was a pioneer in pension plans and in planned communities for workers. His natural gas distribution system did more than Carnegie’s capital to make Pittsburgh the Steel City.

The panic of 1907 changed Westinghouse. It took the energy out of the industrial lion and resulted in a personal depression, which led to his death in1914.

Samuel Gompers said that, if industry had been run by men like Westinghouse, there would have been no need for unions. Employees loved the gentle genius who worried about them routinely. Over 55,000 employees voluntarily collected money for a memorial to Westinghouse in 1955; this memorial would have been the one he cherished the most.
