RevInEducation: Sassoon Joiner & the Importance of Typography & Handwriting
http://revined.blogspot.com/2012/03/sassoon-joiner-importance-of-typography.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. Sassoon Joiner and the Importance of Typography and Handwriting. In Steve Jobs' famous 2005 Stanford University commencement speech, the college dropout noted the profound effect that auditing a course in calligraphy had on him:. Typeface to use instead of using the default? Moreover, how relevant is typography to software design, a question which Rosemary Sassoon believes is worth asking? As she notes in her book Computers and Typography. As she says,. Remember Sassoon's claim th...

RevInEducation: January 2009
http://revined.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 23, 2009. First, a heartfelt good-bye. Early Hypercard adopter/book writer and ever so helpful Revolutionary Eric Chatonet passed away last week from a sudden stroke. He was I believe 62, though you'd never know it from the incredible energy displayed in churning out Rev tutorials and example stacks. I never had the opportunity to meet him in person but in email and list exchanges he was one of the most kind, funny and humble persons you could ever hope to meet. Posted by Judy Perry.

RevInEducation: Caps, Lowercase & x-Height: The Development of Sassoon Joiner Fonts
http://revined.blogspot.com/2012/03/caps-lowercase-x-height-development-of.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. Caps, Lowercase and x-Height: The Development of Sassoon Joiner Fonts. I think we left off talking about why all CAPS is a bad thing to do to text, especially more than just a couple of words, especially. When using a monospace typeface, because when you try to look at each word as a single unit, all words look alike - boxes of varying widths:. The above is an image from Robin Williams' excellent book The Mac is Not a Typewriter. Ascenders, Descenders and x-height. A capital lette...

RevInEducation: Hypercard, Hyperstudio, and why Revolution Can't, or Won't, Compete
http://revined.blogspot.com/2010/04/hypercard-hyperstudio-and-why.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. Hypercard, Hyperstudio, and why Revolution Can't, or Won't, Compete. It's an interesting component of modern culture that views anything that didn't hatch yesterday as completely obsolete, foreign, and useless for study. This regrettably leads us to recreate the wheel over and over again, and sometimes what results is simply NOT superior to that which preceded it in ways we should have seen coming but didn't because we decided it was uncool to look back in time. Got lots of things...

RevInEducation: Multiplication Bingo Released as Shareware
http://revined.blogspot.com/2011/02/multiplication-bingo-released-as.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Multiplication Bingo Released as Shareware. Unbeknownst to me, the game of "Bingo" has long been used as a means for third and fourth grade students to learn their multiplication tables. Learning one's multiplication tables is journey of descent into the pit of drill and kill - endless rote memorization of individual multiplication families, endless repetition of multiplication problems that make students simply hate learning in general and math in particular.

RevInEducation: November 2009
http://revined.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. From the FROM GOD'S MOUTH TO OUR EARS department:. I'm especially impressed with the way you've preserved the same feel and flavor of HyperCard even in all the new features you've added and revised. When I finally got to Revolution it was like coming home again. You have created a very worthy successor to HyperCard, the only one I've seen which captures, preserves and seamlessly extends everything I thought was great about the original.".
