Shirts of Peter Norvig
- __michaelg 5y agoOkay, I need the last one (the transport map one). Anyone have a source?

- blt 5y agoFor some reason it reminded me of Simon Peyton Jones using Comic Sans in presentation slides. Is there a correlation between playful aesthetics and computer science expertise?
- leipert 5y agoHad a few courses at Uni with Comic Sans in the slides. So apparently Comic Sand is a very legible font. Maybe that’s the reason so many people choose it or they just like it.
- dpwm 5y agoThere was an idea going around education circles that type in comic sans was easier or even easiest for those with dyslexia to read. The claims struck me as a bit unlikely, but helped explain its widespread adoption in higher education beyond differences in taste. A quick searching suggests that there is little evidence for the claims made about it, but I can see why some would still use it. Still, at least it’s not Papyrus.
- astrange 5y agoMaybe it's the laziest option.
- vasco 5y agoThere isn't. But it's always fun to trigger the comic sans haters and reveal how little they care about actual content.
- yesenadam 5y agoWell, Comic Sans is like the Hawaiian shirt of fonts—they both feel like the weekend, relaxation, fun. The opposite of boring, grey, work. There is a correlation between playful and expertise in many fields. I keep noticing that the greats are often surprisingly light-hearted and playful, with an ever-present sense of humour. A twinkle in the eye belongs to both joyous playfulness and inspired genius, and (relaxed) creativity is a part of both.
- jedberg 5y agoHa! I took that one of him with the Reddit bobblehead. I thought that shirt looked familiar. :)
- matsemann 5y agoLove it! Do they have a meaning? Like, I've made different generative art that hangs on my walls. This one is a random blobs, colored based on 4 color theorem using a constraint solver. https://imgur.com/a/TKPnvVx https://imgur.com/a/TKPnvVx I feel him wearing shirts of these kind of ideas/patterns would be cool/fitting.
- randoglando 5y agoHe said in his (EXCELLENT) Udacity course that these were made by his wife. That's the meaning behind him wearing it.
- hawkesnest 5y agoThanks for this. It seemed like they were all cut about the same. At first I thought they might all be from the same brand, but the picture with the background using the same fabric as his shirt squashed that theory. They had to be hand-made by a family member or himself.
- 1_player 5y agoI love that picture so much it's sent me on a deep rabbit hole into the world of generative art, and I'm now reading a book about generative art with Processing. Thanks for expanding my world! Is your art published anywhere online?
- matsemann 5y agoWow, cool to hear! I can really recommend this video as a primer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Se0_w0ISYk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Se0_w0ISYk Tim Holman goes through various simple techniques. You can see my picture starts with the circles+tiling combination, for instance. Fascinating how simple stuff can become cool pictures. I've only dabbled a few evenings here and there, so don't have too much else to show, really. But this is what me and some coworkers made after a workshop: https://i.imgur.com/NJbjcgD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NJbjcgD.jpg But someone I used to work with does this semi professionally, take a look at his cool stuff: https://generated.space/ https://generated.space/ And some friends made this for generating demos in little code: https://www.dwitter.net/top/all https://www.dwitter.net/top/all

- tomcam 5y agoHe wore it to DEFCON so he could stand out* *Kidding
- reillyse 5y agoBut where does he get them ? He must buy every patterned shirt he ever sees.
- philips 5y agoA lot of small clothing makers use unique patterns to stand out. And there are lots of places that make bespoke shirts from a huge catalog of cloths. One recent place I found is made in the USA and ready to wear https://www.bladeandblue.com/collections/short-sleeve-shirts https://www.bladeandblue.com/collections/short-sleeve-shirts
- papito 5y agoHe is a very brave man.
- peterbmarks 5y agoSomeone should do "Shirts of Karl Kruszelnicki" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kruszelnicki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kruszelnicki he always wears amazing shirts which I believe are made by his wife.
- tyingq 5y agoApparently you have buy the magazine issue to get the full story, but there's some of it here: https://www.frankie.com.au/article/dr-karl-is-a-little-bit-shirty-544541 https://www.frankie.com.au/article/dr-karl-is-a-little-bit-s...
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoOne of the tricks I was told, in public speaking, was to have an eye-catching shirt. That's one reason so many public speakers have Hawai'ian shirts. Women can also wear monster-high heels, as it makes them easier to see (It's not a "sexy" thing; it's a "see me" thing. There are some very conservative women's shoes, with very high heels). I'm not a particularly good public speaker (but I've done a fair bit -why is everyone asleep?), so I need all the help I can get. I have a number of them. I have a friend that has a .sig that says "Speak softly, and wear a loud shirt." He has a lot of loud shirts.
- StavrosK 5y ago> One of the tricks I was told, in public speaking, was to have an eye-catching shirt. Why though?
- 0xFACEFEED 5y agoKeeps your attention on the speaker. It's helpful for speakers that don't have "presence" on stage. Content alone is not enough.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y ago> speakers that don't have "presence" on stage That's me!
- doggodaddo78 5y agoNawh, you can learn it all. It's a skill. Join Toastmasters and they'll help you develop it.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoWell, I’ve been involved with an outfit that involves fairly regular speaking gigs (from just a couple, to a couple hundred) for 40 years. I’m not consistent, so I’m not on anyone’s shortlist for keynote speaker, which is fine by me. For classes, though, I practice for hours. It seems to satisfy people.
- jpm_sd 5y agoThis exceeded my expectations. Thanks for sharing.
- eamon_cas 5y agoKnuth also has a great shirt lineup. Anybody have pictures?
- twic 5y agoLarry Wall has some pretty strong Hawaiian shirts.
- every 5y agoA man and a wardrobe after my own heart, although it must be noted that one does not tuck in Hawaiian shirts...
- doggodaddo78 5y agoLol. I'm wearing a geometric insanely colorful shirt right now that random women tell me they like all the time. You need colorful shirts to distract people from their dopamine time-suck glowing screen notification video games.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- a_t48 5y agoOh man, I want that subway shirt
- Barrin92 5y agothe green one that looks like chips on a circuit board is pretty cool, any idea where that's from
- jimmyed 5y agoAre they Indonesian Batiks? These shirts are the national dress of Indonesia.
- hi41 5y agoI have an Sony TV and it runs Android. Recently I saw a screen saver contributed by Peter Norvig. I told my kids that he made important contributions as an engineer. And my mind immediately wandered to remember the Hawaiian psychedelic shirts! I am glad someone has made a scrollable photo album out it. Really cool!
- DataJunkie 5y agoOf all the people at Google, I practically saw him all the time (pre-pandemic). I guess it's the shirts. He seemed to really like Yoshka's cafe, and the ice cream ;).
- locallost 5y agoI used to think these are terrible, but they are a lot more interesting than the blandness of the near identical clothes that everyone everywhere in the world wears. My mother bought a crazy dress especially for her standards a while ago, and people were making fun of her, but I don't think she cared. That she did that after fighting cancer is I think related. A lot of the times we present ourselves by removing all of the things that people might frown upon, but what's left is something nobody cares about. But regardless of the reasons, the last one done from a subway map is awesome on its own :-).
- natch 5y agoNot judging (I think he’s great!) but this is probably some mixture of 1) social signaling (here’s how much I care about old fashioned traditional dress codes, and, look, I have the sufficient status that I can get away with wearing this) and 2) just plain fun. Maybe heavily weighted on #2, but #1 is also fun.
- thek3nger 5y agoI like the "MiniMetro" one.
- jamesmark 5y agoThe greatest Joy in my life today is that i have been cured of Herpes by a Doctor called Dr. Macaulay , I was infected with HERPES Disease in 2019, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution,so that my body can be okay. Until one faithful day as i was browsing on the internet I saw a testimony on how Dr. Macaulay has helped people in curing Herpes and other diseases, quickly copied his WhatsApp number so i contacted him for solution for my Herpes disease, So Dr. Macaulay told me that his going to prepare his herbal medicine for my health which he sent to me, luckily after 2week my Herpes was cured. Dr Macaulay is well recognize as one of the best herbalist doctor in Africa, you don't have to be sad anymore or cry anymore on this disease when the cure is available. .For enquiries:Via:Dr.Macaulayherbalhome@yahoo.comWhatsApp: (+2349067522465)https://wa.me/message/HJO6BWJEP4CFJ1 https://wa.me/message/HJO6BWJEP4CFJ1

- ejanus 5y agoReminds me of Nelson Mandela
- johbjo 5y agoThe suit of a guy who doesn't need to answer to anyone.
