Autograph Collection by Marriott

| tralev | travel | hotels |

I traveled a lot in my first tech job and the company I worked for used Marriott for everything. Over the years I have had the pleasure of staying at several of Marriott’s Autograph Collection hotels. Not only is each of these hotels unique and interesting in its own special way, they often have attached restaurants that serve some of the best food in the city.

Driven by the knowledge and vision to go beyond the commonplace, we handpick and celebrate the world’s most unique boutique hotels. Each one is chosen for its founder’s passion, the thoughtfulness of its design, its inherent craft, and its connection with the locale. Our aim is to showcase some of the most beautifully orchestrated hotel experiences the world has to offer.

While doing research for the Capitals Project I realized that there were quite a few of these in the cities that I aim to visit. The full list is shown below. I intend to stay at each of these and am looking forward to sharing my experience. This list also has the added bonus of me not having to figure out where to stay in a dozen different cities.

Flood Fill vs the Magic Circle

Musings from Robin Sloan: Most olive oil production at medium-or-greater scale depends on machines of this kind [over-the-row olive harvester]; they trundle over trees planted in long rows, almost like continuous hedges, and collect the fruit with vibratin…

The Blandness of Systematic Rules vs. The Delight of Localized Sensitivity

Marcin Wichary brings attention to this lovely dialog in ClarisWorks from 1997: He quips: this breaks the rule of button copy being fully comprehensible without having to read the surrounding strings first, perhaps most well-known as the “avoid «click here»…
