Usability testing a Canadian website. In the research plan, I mentioned the client would look better if thank-you gifts for participants were from a Canadian company. After all, we're all Canadian, living and working north of the 49th parallel.

The client agreed, so we're offering a choice of gift card for
• Superstore
• Chapters-Indigo
• A & W

While participants choose differently, each one knows immediately which card they want.

It's not #Amazon.

SVT lägger ner Kunskapskanalen.

Tråkigt tycker jag personligen. Jag sätter mig gärna vid TVn för att titta på TV via antennen. I början av året försvann TV4 och vid årsskiftet försvinner Kunskapskanalen.

En kanal som verkligen borde rimma väl med public service.

Kulturartikel i Aftonbladet idag tar upp det:

The Waiting Room: At the very top of those stairs—which the maintenance team is currently restoring—there would have been a small shrine. This wasn't a place for public worship, but a "waiting room" where the deity (in Ur's case, the moon god Nanna) was believed to dwell when visiting the city.

In the cosmology of ancient #Mesopotamia, a ziggurat like the one in Ur temple, wasn't just a building; it was a meru, a cosmic mountain that served as a physical bridge between the earthly realm and the divine.

The term "Ziggurat" itself comes from the Akkadian ziqqurratu, meaning "built on a high area" or "to rise high," signifying its role as a literal staircase for the gods to descend to earth and for priests to ascend toward the heavens.
