The popular music history/influence visualisation: http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0002N4 a digital version is available at http://reebee.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/chartwithloader.html

My list of what I enjoyed from the ontography chapter: it’s mix of voices and tone, the lack of formal academic language, it’s humour and playfulness, it’s cheek, that representation is described as a prison, the sentence that runs from the bottom of page 41 and onto page 42, that objects become mysterious alien worlds.

My questions for the ontography chapter are why are objects an alien world? and what are ‘potential unit operations’?
