			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Por conta do lançamento do <a href="http://www.acervohbc.com.b" title="vai para o site do acervo Hermínio Bello de Carvalho">site do acervo do poeta e agitador cultural Hermínio Bello de Carvalho</a>, copio a carta escrita por ele ao Ministro Juca Ferreira por ocasião da saída do ex-ministro Gilberto Gil e de promessas perdidas na burocracia brasileira.</p>
<blockquote><p>Hermínio Bello de Carvalho<br />
10/11/2008</p>
<p>
Em defesa do Projeto Pixinguinha e da palavra empenhada (Carta aberta ao Ministro Juca Ferreira)<br />
Por Hermínio Bello de Carvalho
</p>
<p>
Poderia usar um artifício em defesa do Projeto Pixinguinha, fazendo uma colagem dos textos de Gilberto Gil defendendo aquele programa cultural nos catálogos editados pela Funarte – mas acho que você conhece fartamente o pensamento do ministro recém demissionário. E o você, no caso, não subtrai o respeito ao cargo de ministro, mas sim uma absoluta dificuldade em fazer salamaleques, ou mesmo usar de adjetivos hipócritas - que seriam logo desvendados, talvez pela falta de prática no ofício. Se há quase 50 anos eu já reverenciava Pixinguinha e Cartola, a vida me deu oportunidade de prestar atenção aos talentos que iriam enriquecer (não no sentido vil da palavra) a minha vida, possibilitando me tornar parceiro de vultos geniais iguais àqueles dois. O Projeto que leva o nome de Pixinguinha faz parte desses ritos reverenciais – assim como outros projetos que deixei aí na Funarte que, nem na época da ditadura, sofreu com episódios como os que aconteceram recentemente.
</p>
<p>
Também esse aprendizado me fez conhecer Clementina de Jesus, tão representativa na minha vida quanto o foi Chico Antonio, o cantador que a Mário de Andrade tanto impressionou. A arte de prestar atenção você pode constatá-la num texto meu de 1966, na contracapa do Lp &#8220;Muito Elizeth&#8221;, no qual pedia que reparassem num jovem compositor que estava surgindo - esse mesmo Gilberto Gil que, depois Ministro, permitiu que a chama do projeto fosse reacesa na administração do Grassi. Que não se enxergue hipocrisia ou adulação quando o cultuo como o grande artista que nunca deixará de ser (acima de poderes ministeriais provisórios). E também como um colega de profissão, que veio em minha casa quando fundamos a Sombrás, isso há 30 anos, para deixar uma procuração que eu, vice do então presidente Tom Jobim, o representasse nas lutas pela moralização dos direitos autorais, numa época em que éramos assediados pela censura, no rastro do AI-5, que a Gil e Caetano aprisionou indecentemente.
</p>
<p>
Não, decididamente não creio que Gilberto Gil tenha renegado seus textos em favor do projeto ou anulado, moralmente, a referida procuração. Quanto à extinção do Pixinguinha, logo anunciada na troca de Ministros, soa como traição ou insubordinação aos ideais daquele importante músico.
</p>
<p>
No ano passado, quando fui chamado para fazer a curadoria do Pixinguinha, não imaginava que, na verdade, estavam me entregando uma urna ainda vazia, na qual iriam depositar as cinzas daquele Projeto. Aceitei o cargo sob algumas condições: que reativassem também os projetos Lúcio Rangel de Monografias e o Radamés Gnattali (discos paradidáticos), além de propor a reabertura da Sala Sidney Miller e a reedição de livros do grande Jota Efegê.
</p>
<p>
Me senti traído quando o Projeto Pixinguinha foi extinguido e mutilado, e a edição dos livros de Jota Efegê não ganharam a merecida distribuição. Mau uso do dinheiro público, fazendo reverter ao ostracismo aquelas reedições. E as outras promessas feitas? Caíram no ossário do esquecimento. Também me impressionou o clima de terrorismo que encontrei infestando aquela Casa.
</p>
<p>
É consenso que a utilização da mesma marca Pixinguinha num projeto totalmente inverso ao original foi manobra que a ninguém iludiu. É a máquina pública modorrenta e preguiçosa, viveiro de incompetentes moscas varejeiras que infectam de burocracia o fazer cultural. E criminosamente extirparam a principal característica daquele programa apoiado por Gil: a circulação da música brasileira por todo o país. Cultura que não circula morre de inanição, é devolvida ao anonimato.
</p>
<p>
Assim como confiei em Gil em 1966, não haveria porque não dar crédito àqueles que executavam sua política cultural, com especial destaque para os textos em que defendia o Projeto. Ou seriam apócrifos?
</p>
<p>
Portanto, não poderia dormir direito com minha consciência se não viesse lembrá-lo que estar Ministro até 2010 não o desonera de fazer cumprir o que foi prometido pela gestão anterior que comandava a Funarte.
</p>
<p>
É a homenagem que presto à minha consciência, ao não me silenciar diante de tais iniqüidades. Estou certo de que você, igualmente avesso a desajeitados salamaleques, há de compreender que o ano e pouco que ainda terá à frente do Ministério da Cultura o obrigará a um olhar reflexivo sobre esse ato de vandalismo e genocídio cultural que vem dizimando aqueles que ainda reverenciam a palavra empenhada e se sentem desrespeitados por esse caos.
</p>
<p>
Atenciosamente,<br />
Hermínio Bello de Carvalho
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Sobre o site:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Preocupado com o registro, a documentação e a preservação da memória, ao longo de sua carreira, Hermínio montou um precioso arquivo particular. O projeto Acervo Hermínio Bello de Carvalho organizou, catalogou e digitalizou mais de 10 mil itens dessa coleção, entre arquivos de foto, áudio e texto, que agora tornam-se públicos e de acesso gratuito por meio deste website.O Acervo Hermínio Bello de Carvalho é um projeto estritamente cultural, sem quaisquer fins lucrativos, e que foi desenvolvido exclusivamente com recursos do Programa Petrobras Cultural, por meio da Lei Rouanet.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Hermínio, incansável em sua luta por manter viva e propagar a chama da cultura genuinamente brasileira, marcou mais um golaço. Parabéns, Mestre Hermínio. Que sua luz ilumine sempre nossos caminhos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ESPN Brasil lauched it new website last week. Only today I took notice of that, reading <a href="http://arquiteturadeinformacao.com/2008/07/30/o-novo-site-da-espn-brasil/">Silvia Melo&#8217;s post about it</a>.</p>
<p>Despite the new audacious interface design (I&#8217;m not pretty sure about it&#8217;s efficiency), the central question is that it lacks the basic: content.  After the first impression, when you start to use it, there&#8217;s no new offer. Taking Google as a benchmark for user navigation behavior seems to me a little misconception. A so hidden navigation menu is a rupture that I&#8217;m not sure people are ready to face.</p>
<h4 class="legenda">The new ESPN Brasil Homepage. Audacious interface design, but is it efficient?</h4>
<p><a href='http://espnbrasil.terra.com.br/agora'><img border='0' src="/blog/images/posts/espn_home.png" alt="" title="espn_home" width="411" height="323" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-684" /></a></p>
<h4 class="legenda">An internal page, built upon searching a pre-configured tag. Impressive, but lacks rich related content</h4>
<p><a href='http://espnbrasil.terra.com.br/judo'><img border='0' src="/blog/images/posts/espn_page.png" alt="" title="espn_page" width="411" height="323" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-685" /></a></p>
<p>The only thing that seemed to me an interesting feature is the related content &#8216;mind mapped&#8217; at the end of the page, with the related tags represented with photos. That&#8217;s a cool navigation system I would like to study more deeply to check it efficiency. Choosing Tags as a central navigation system without a semantic tool or controlled vocabulary to support it is quite a risk. Specially when you have a very poor relation between the items (volley has only three related terms). </p>
<h4 class="legenda">The mind map navigation system for the topic Volley</h4>
<p><img src="/blog/images/posts/mindmap.png" alt="" title="mindmap" width="416" height="190" class="alignright size-full wp-image-687" /></p>
<p>And there are some implementation problems. As you try to break the tag search, you may reach a page that has no picture to illustrate it, and you get the content left miles away from the top of the page.</p>
<h4 class="legenda">A fragile URL building rule system makes the page miss the opening background image</h4>
<p><a href='http://espnbrasil.terra.com.br/renato%20gaucho/noticia/1191_TARDELLI+TEM+FRATURA+EXPOSTA+NO+BRACO+DIREITO'><img border='0' src="/blog/images/posts/blankcontent.png" alt="" title="blankcontent" width="411" height="323" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-686" /></a></p>
<p>At the end, the new ESPN Brasil website intends to use a (somehow) new user interface design, but fails on offering clear navigational paths. Using search is not as fluid as pointing and clicking, and putting all the bets on related tags doesn&#8217;t guarantee a flow. Nice work, good experiment, but still with lot to be improved.</p>

Today I received an email informing that <a href='http://silverbackapp.com/'>Silverback</a> is up and running, for us to try it for a 30 day period.</p>
<p>I took noticed about Silverback through a blog witch I sincerely don&#8217;t remember now (sorry). And using it own words:</p>
<blockquote><p>Silverback makes it easy, quick and cheap for everyone to perform guerilla usability tests with no setup and no expense, using hardware already in your Mac.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah, you read it&#8230;just for Macs. It was to good to be true.</p>
<p>And what&#8217;s up with the gorilla? Well, that&#8217;s the coolest part that the clever guys from <a href='http://clearleft.com/'>Clearleft</a> thought about. They will donate 10% of all profits from Silverback to <a href="http://gorillafund.org/">saving the gorillas</a>.</p>
<p>Well Usability guys that use Mac, <a href='http://silverbackapp.com/'>check silverback out</a> and tell me your impressions!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I installed, after the big World Failure Download Day, the version 3.0 of Firefox. Although it has lots of technical improvements, some things seemed to me a worst version than the predecessor. Take the location bar (autocomplete history function) for example.</p>
<h4 class="legenda">The overcrowded Location bar in Firefox 3.0</h4>
<p><img src="/blog/images/posts/autocomplete_30.png" alt="location bar with autocomplete in firefox 3.0" title="location bar with autocomplete in firefox 3.0" width="447" height="186" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-672" /><br />
I first got very shocked when saw the new version. It seemed to me too much unnecessary cluttered information. The previous version shows only a list of the URLs. The new version brings me Favicons, URLs, Site name&#8230;but the new layout does not make it easy to read and rapidly identify the URL in the middle of this so overcrowded information. Things got so messy that they decided to put some lines between the items in order to &#8220;help reading&#8221;. Ouch!</p>
<h4 class="legenda">The elegant and simple location bar in the previous Firefox 2.0</h4>
<p><img src="/blog/images/posts/autocomplete_20.png" alt="location bar with autocomplete in firefox 2.0" title="location bar with autocomplete in firefox 2.0" width="465" height="106" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-671" /><br />
It seems that this isn&#8217;t my only and lonely impression. As you can see, there&#8217;s an <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6227">add-on to revert exclusively the location toolbar to the older version</a>.</p>
<p>The second &#8220;improvement&#8221; that seemed to be a bad move was the Downloaded Items list. The poor design of the new version with big fonts, heavy contrasted colors between selected and unselected items, less space between the items, cluttered and unnecessary information, and a mysterious search field (search where?) again show that some bad decisions were made.</p>
<h4 class="legenda">The horsy downloaded items dialog box in Firefox 3.0</h4>
<p><img src="/blog/images/posts/download_30.png" alt="download list dialog box in firefox 3.0" title="download list dialog box in firefox 3.0" width="451" height="204" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-675" /></p>
<h4 class="legenda">The more elegant downloaded items dialog box in Firefox 2.0. Somebody, please give me a link to an add-on to use this older version!</h4>
<p><img src="/blog/images/posts/downloads_ff20.png" alt="" title="downloads_ff20" width="451" height="277" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-674" /><br />
I surely prefer in general the Firefox 3.0 with all its technical and performance improvements, but in therms of usability and interaction design, the community really have to go back to work a little more.</p>
