Question 749: When I Come Around

The company was six months from insolvency, and morale was at an all-time low. There were warring factions and fiefdoms pitting any number of internal groups against each other, with each assigning blame for the company’s slow demise. The returning (temporarily) interim CEO began cutting irrelevant products, projects and partnerships to streamline the company to a spartan group of products.

He selected a project that was an extension of the very first product the company released. It was in a very infant stage and it would wind up barely resembling what was originally envisioned. The vision was a radical design, a departure from just about anything else in the market.

There was no name for this product and the CEO felt that it would be extremely important to have a relatable name, something that didn't deviate from their original methodology, but pushed through their revolutionarily new TBWA\Chiat\Day-designed ad campaign.

After much back-and-forth between the visionary CEO and the creative branding genius, the new name __X__ for the product reverberated so much within the company and then out to the industry and the consumer world, that it has defined and stuck with every new product introduced by the company since then. It has represented the ease of access to the internet, the interestingly refreshing design methodologies used to create new niche markets and has become a techno-cultural platitude (almost).

What is this name, __X__ ?

Question 684: And all that jazz!



__X__ is an open source online store management system using the Django web application framework. It was initially designed as a Python based project in order to avoid some of the perceived common pitfalls and shortcomings of similar PHP based projects. The Django framework was chosen as a foundation because it provides a number of useful, robust, tested features. It is freely available under the BSD License.










Identify __X__ and connect it with the picture.

QUESTION 190

OK, a textual one!

in November 1902, X was invited by Mississippi Governor Andrew Longino to a hunting trip.There were several other hunters competing, and most of them had already killed an animal. A group of X's attendants, led by Holt Collier cornered, clubbed, and tied a certain animal to a willow tree after a long exhausting chase with hounds.They called X to the site and suggested that he should shoot it. He refused to shoot the animal himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike,but instructed that the animal be killed to put it out of its misery. This became a topic for a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman in the Washington Post in 1902.
Morris Michton saw the drawing of X in the cartoon and was inspired to create Y.

Now, what am I talking about?
Id X,Y.
