It appears that I’m just slightly better than flipping at coin. Don’t be surprised if you see me trying to bring along a nicely aged Schwabacher to your next wine & cheese party.

Another sub-pixel anti-aliasing solution… and an excellent exploit of the really awesome typography and subpixel antialiased font rendering that are already built in to Mac OS X.
I count myself among those frustrated with Photoshop’s poor font handling yet too lazy to dig up a suitable alternative. This looks interesting.

First handmade subpixel type family, ever
“It has x-height of 3 pixels, it is italic, inspired by old masters and most important – made by hand. You must not look too closely, because colors get visible. It’s work in progress.” | Typophile

John C. Welch gets all in a twist when trying out Lotus Notes on his Mac. Check this:
“No, you aren’t hallucinating. ‘Open Selected Item…’ is….THE COPYRIGHT SYMBOL!!!
“I…I…I have no words for that. Maybe someone in UI design? Nadyne? Someone? Why….HOW….HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!! SOMEONE FUCKING TELL ME, RIGHT NOW, HOW THE FUCK DOES THE COPYRIGHT SYMBOL BECOME A KEYBOARD SHORT CUT? Is it font-dependent? I mean, the problems with this…I may have finally found the one thing that could fill up a ZFS file system…all the possible issues with all the UI fuckups in Lotus Notes. It’s like looking into a cave and realizing you’ve found, at last, the source for all stupidity in the universe. The scary thing? That actually works. Fucking option-g is open selected item. Sonofabitch!
“(maybe they win points for being completely fucking stupid but functional completely fucking stupid?)”
