My fellow Planker Geoff has put together this fun little game with a healthy dash of tongue in cheek humor. An homage to one of his favourite classics Missile Command - keep the media away from Sarah as she defends her “politics”. Look for the secret Hannity bonus — brilliant. http://www.sarahpalinspincommand.com/

Great blog post from “The Man In Blue” with thoughts and comparison on some great typographers; their fonts and their handwriting. There’s a couple in here which I love; and would use as fonts themselves! “The handwriting of typographers intrigues me because it raises so many questions, big and small: Do typographers exert some extraordinary control of […]

The lack of blog posts/tweets and sleep over the past couple weeks has been due to us racing to get out the Fantasia 2008 site. Trying to improve it every year and thankfully we have the process down — in order to run through close to 1000 images (films and graphics) in a week. Whew** . I’m […]

The www.citizenvoices.gg.ca is aimed at a younger audience; and is to be an outreach from the Governor General to those around her (in a way that her official canadian gov site can’t do - we don’t work on that one).
