Got in my car to go to work this morning, and the first thing I noticed when going down the street was that it was no longer pulling hard to the left.

Wishing a very joyous Resurrection Day to all my friends out there. Have a great weekend, enjoying your family and your relationship with Him. Anybody have an interesting or fun tradition you'd like to share?

I find myself becoming a font geek. I notice particular typefaces used in signage, and recognize them and know their names. I try to collect digital typefaces that evoke certain moods/periods (Old West, early American) or that recreate well-known images (titles of a TV show, or the brand name on a pop can). I want to find outline versions of ( Read more... )
