Austin, Texas trip


Image by ATOMIC Hot Links
Just after 12:00 a.m. on 1 August 1966, Whitman killed his mother, most likely by strangling her from behind with a rubber hose. He later bashed in the back of her head and hit her left hand so hard that the diamond from her engagement ring popped out. He left a note on the body.

A few minutes before 3:00 a.m., Whitman killed his wife, Kathy, as she slept by stabbing her five times in the chest with a hunting knife.

After writing a few more notes, Whitman placed the following items in a green footlocker:

Channel Master 14 Transistor AM/FM Radio

Robinson Reminder Note Book (blank)

white 3 1/2 gallon water jug (full)

red 3 1/2 gallon plastic gas jug (full)

sales slip from Davis Hardware dated 1 August 1966

four "C" cell flashlight batteries

several lengths of cotton and nylon ropes

plastic Wonda-scope compass

papermate black ball-point pen

one Gun Tector, green rifle scabbard

hatchet

Nesco machete with green scabbard

Hercules hammer

green ammunition box with gun cleaning equipment

Gene brand alarm clock

cigarette lighter

canteen with water

binoculars

green Sears rifle scabbard

Camallus hunting knife with brown scabbard and whet stone

large Randall knife with bone handle with the name Charles J. Whitman on the blade with brown scabbard and whet stone

large pocket knife with lock blade

10-inch pipe wrench

eye glasses with brown case

box of kitchen matches

12 assorted cans of food and a jar of honey

two cans of Sego

can of charcoal starter

white and green 6-volt flashlight

set of ear plugs

two rolls of white adhesive tape

solid steel bar (1 ft. long)

Army green rubber duffel bag

green extension cord

lengths of clothes line wire and yellow electric wire

grey gloves

deer bag

bread, sweet rolls, Spam, Planters Peanuts, sandwiches, a box of raisins

plastic bottle of Mennen spray deodorant

toilet paper

[Note that there is a disturbing absence of Excedrin.]

In addition, Charlie packed/bought a .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson revolver, a Galesi-Brescia pistol, a .35 Remington, an sawed-off Sears 12-gauge shotgun, a 6mm Remington bolt-action rifle with a 4-power Leupold scope, and a .30 caliber M-1 Carbine. He also had over 700 rounds of ammunition.

On 1 August 1966, around 11:30 a.m., he entered the University of Texas Tower. Once in the elevator, he asked for help from an attendant, who informed him how to turn it on. "Thank you, ma’am," Whitman said. "You don’t know how happy that makes me."

Once on the 28th floor, he killed the receptionist by hitting her in the back of the head with the butt of his rifle. A couple coming down from the observation deck were mysteriously allowed to pass by Whitman unharmed.

Two other couples were shot at point blank range with the sawed-off shotgun as they climbed up the stairwell.

Whitman then went out onto the observation deck. The time was 11:48. It has often been pointed out that if he hadn’t been delayed by the receptionist, he would have started shooting during peak period of classes changing. The death toll would have been substantially higher. As it was, Whitman lasted for 96 minutes. He killed 16 people, wounded 30.

Houston McCoy, with the help of other officers, gained entrance to the observation deck and shot Whitman twice in the head with 12 gauge loaded with 00 buckshot. As Whitman’s body jerked in death spasms, Officer Ramiro Martinez took the shotgun and fired at Whitman’s upper arm, nearly blowing it off. The time was 1:24 p.m…

What few know is the officers up on the tower trying to take out Whitman were also ducking from bullets due to the fact a few citizens came down there with rifles to exercise their freedom to protect and serve. Remember friends "GUN CONTROL IS WHEN YOU USE BOTH HANDS"

A frickin’ awesome picture of Ryan — friend of 17 yrs, now dating my sister-in-law Vicky — in a dork costume. Previously I had a much smaller, cropped version and begged him for the original. Thanks, Ryan!

The beasts are much better on this page than on previous pages, but it doesn’t take very long to get really good at them. I like the twining snakes, but I also like the dog-wolf thing in the lower left corner.

Timbuk2 Datadump Laptop Bag


Image by NutsyFagan
My fancy new laptop bag arrived yesterday from Timbuk2. This bag is HUGE. I was a bit surprised by its size, but after a little deliberation, I decided to keep it rather than trade it in for a smaller model.

What’s in my purses?


Image by melodramababs
I’ve been wanting to do another "what’s in your bag?" shot, but the problem was that I’ve been using 3 or 4 purses in a random rotating revolution.

So tonight I decided – well – why don’t I just do a shot with all the purses and what’s currently in them.

Sketching


Image by NathanaelB
Prospective employers and clients often ask "Show us your work" … and I can sometimes show them the end product if it’s a public website but if it’s a CD-ROM, touchscreen kiosk application, intranet or software I really can’t except maybe screen captures … which really just showcases the graphic designer’s capabilities rather than mine – it can be hard to look past the colours and pretty images to see the underlying skeleton, structure and deliberate, consistent approach to interaction design.

My work is more in the process, in facilitating and guiding business, developers and designers through the requirements gathering process, through meshing ideas together, identifying risks – particularly in terms of user experience, usability and accessibility – and then coming up with the specification so someone else can build it … although I still find myself doing a lot of front-end HTML, CSS and JavaScript development which I’m trying to move on from.

So I’m trying to start collecting artefacts I create during the design process such as this sketch above of an interface for a touchscreen application – you would never see something this messy in a UI spec or report but it’s an important part of the iterative design and prototyping process in order to come up with a better solution.
