The Handwriting of Type Designers
jamie found this blog post wherein an Australian Web technologist, Cameron Adams, wondered whether the handwriting of his favorite type designers encoded some sort of influence on their designs. So he wrote to them and asked for a sample. The result will make you slow down and appreciate the beauty and the aesthetics of type. Or else it won't.
The author of that article neglected to mention that the creators of Arial, having devised a font so perfect they chopped their own hands off because they knew their work could never be surpassed.
I AGREE FULLY. WHO NEEDS LOWERCASE?
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted! Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.
No, it was believably cool.

What, you didn't get yours?
Most of my writing was the "I will not {action} in class" variety. I've been typing papers since the Commodore 64 days.....I think my teachers appreciated it.

Is that supposed to be "bread" or "breast"?
I ask because it's on the same line as milk, rammin', condoms, and beer, and it could go either way.
If you can read this, I forgot to post anonymously.
It's slashdot man. His mom asked him to pick up the condoms. He showed her how to setup a myspace profile and has regretted it ever since.

Layne, is that you?! It's me, Mrs. Berkshire, your grade 10 teacher! How amazing that we can both be here to reminisce of your brazen school days. I still keep all of my students' detention writings in my desk drawer. Let me write out some of the favorite ones I had you write during your year in my English class.
1. I will not play Dungeons and Dragons in class.
2. I will not scream "Beam me up, Scotty!" in class.
3. I will not program on my abacus in class.
4. I will not hack administration's punch cards to improve my grades in class.
5. I will not debate 86-DOS vs Mac 128k in class.
6. I will not mastur^H^Her math in class.
7. I will not read slashdot in class.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Berkshire
I will send you a piece of paper to sign.
It already has a little writing and some numbers on it, but don't worry about those. Just sign on the line in the bottom right corner.
"I've got more toys than Teruhisa Kitahara."

One of them is a word.
