Rather Difficult Font Game
April 13, 2008 – 11:49 pm
I had fun playing this font identification game. I got 27 out of 34, and I only got a couple of those points off of guesses. I’m pretty proud of that score, considering I’ve only been a type nut for a few months. via I Love Typography

Nerdy felt brooches

I saw this flickr set of nerdy felt brooches and it made me smile. It’s actually kind of sad how many I recognized.
Flickr favorite – Delicate texture on an angel statue
April 5, 2008 – 10:55 am
I’ve been entranced by good photos of statues recently. This photo of an angel statue is especially nice. The depth of field is incredible, and you can almost feel the grains of texture that cling to the stone.
A beautiful acoustic Radiohead remix
April 4, 2008 – 11:30 pm
So Radiohead is being awesome again and letting people remix their song “Nude”. I was figuratively knocked off my feet when I heard this hauntingly beautiful acoustic remix by Adrian Holovaty. Thanks to Chris Glass for the heads up.
