Technically a shite photo, and would be even if I spent all afternoon dodging and burning, but it’s always magical seeing the police horsies get carted around.
I’m publishing this to make myself feel better for being two seconds late to snap the best-ever mounted-police photograph late last week. How often do you get two cops on horses (with blinking taillights) stopped at a traffic signal while a firetruck races past? Rather as with limerent objects, you never forget the ones that get away.

An ignominious use of Friz Quadrata.
Then again, he’s a tough old South American runaway Nazi bastard and can stand a bit of stencilling.

…in that neither of them exists online, but we love to talk about them in a kind of girlish and dreamy way.
To continue, then, our discussion of footnotes on Web pages: [continue with: Footnotes are like unicorns →]

It took two shoots at two locations to come up with a photo that’s only this good. That is indeed a fontmodded Cooper Black that attracts your immediate attention.
Somebody’s defaced it already. Here’s mud in your eye!

The old-style (but not quite oldest-possible-style) Toronto street signs. Since Hollywood stars hang out there once a year (suburban Guidos the rest of the time), Village of Yorkville gets to use Le Griffe.
Because tacky people think script fonts are klassy.

I think homebrew fontmods like this – like this, not just any of them – are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I guess the criterion is: The more it looks like a hand-painted sign in a South American peasant village, the more I like it.

From a review of an IE7/Win beta:
At present, IE7 has a problem rendering some Web pages. According to Microsoft, this is caused by the sites, which need to update their detection code for IE7.
Standards-compliant pages don’t need browser detection. (And someday they won’t need browser hacks, either.) What the sites need to update is their markup.
Additionally, a request to Windows Longhorn Vista testers: If you’re going to “leak” anything, please “leak” screenshots of IE7 in use with highly-standards-compliant sites; with enormous fonts; with Unicode test pages and severely complicated non-Latin scripts; and with MathML. Do please also show us what happens with large numbers of tabs.
