The emo threat
Concern in Middle England has been mounting in recent days over the threat to the nation’s youth posed by emo. I can’t stop laughing. It probably has something to do with the mental image of a white-haired newscaster with a British accent uttering those words with the greatest severity.
Flood shuts Canadian archives
Flood shuts Canada’s national archives. The article states that the building has had 116 environmental incidents since 1988. Could just be me, but it seems like a stupid place to be storing important documents.
Font Bots
Font bots, robot illustrations made with type.
Rub Downs
Erik Spiekermann reminiscing about Letraset rub downs. We had them around the house when I was growing up. They’re one of the main reasons for my fascination with typography. Apparently they weren’t toys, but I could never resist playing with them.
YWFT Zine
You Work For Them zine. The first issue, images created using samples from their stock collection.

Font Game
The Rather Difficult Font Game. I only scored 30/34, I blame the wee morning hours. At least my education has proven useful for something.
Electrocuting an Elephant
Topsy the Elephant was electrocuted by Thomas Edison in 1903. He also happened to document the moment on film, which he obviously titled Electrocuting an Elephant.
flickrRSS 4.0
There’s a new version of flickrRSS available for download now. In short, the interface has been updated for WordPress 2.5 and you can display set and favourite feeds.
A longer list of the changes that have been made. If you’re really interested, you can check out the exact changes via trac.
- Revamped interface for WordPress 2.5
- Support for sets and favourites (RSS limits to last 20 items)
- Added set_id to arguments list (in 8th position)
- Added place for code before and after images in the widget
- Changed $userid to $id_number to reflect ability to use group ids
- Naming consistency in source
- Settings panel now uses one button to save instead of two
- Brought back html readme, easier on the eyes
- Tested to make sure it works with video
I also released flickrRSS 3.5 for older versions of WordPress, it just adds support for sets and favourites. One caveat, it hasn’t been thoroughly tested. If you’re having any problems with either version drop a note in the forum.
