Biggest Trebuchet ever
Walk into any Winners® store in Canada (typical invert pronunciation: “Winnersss”) and you’ve got Vincent Connare right in your face, just as in real life with Vince.

Memo to Apple: License the ClearType fonts
My esteemed colleagues at Microsoft, assisted by a few luminaries of the type-design world (and Luc[as] de Groot!), have published an extensive body of work on the topic of the upcoming fonts custom-made for Windows Longhorn and the new version of ClearType, the anti-aliasing technology.
You can read all about them in the chapbook entitled Now Read This: The Microsoft ClearType Font Collection. You had to be at ATypI Prague to get a copy. (I wasn’t; Microsoft showed mercy and gave me a copy later.) There’s not much on the MS Typo Web site, but John Hudson has dropped his pants a little on one of those type sites that (don’t) do Web standards.

How to quote somebody else’s work without infringing copyright in Canada
If you run a Web site and you live in Canada and you want to quote somebody else’s work, what do you have to do to make sure you’re doing it legally?
In Canada, the Copyright Act tells us it isn’t an infringement to reproduce other people’s work under certain circumstances. The exemption I’ll be talking about here is fair dealing, which is noticeably different from fair use in the United States. Hence, if you’re a Canadian, do not call what you’re doing fair use and do not claim that fair use lets you do what you’re doing; there is no such thing in Canada.
What does the law say?

An all-new, very special episode of Fametracker
Quill & Quire, July 2004, p. 14:
Toronto pop-culture writers Adam Sternbergh and Tara Ariano have struck a deal with Quirk Books in the U.S. to publish a series of titles based on content from their Fametracker.com Web site. The inautural release, set for fall 2005, will be Hey, It’s That Guy!, a handy guide to all those faces in movies you recognize but can’t put a name to.
A real-life book publisher has contracted us to write a real-life book, tentatively titled Hey! It’s That Guy!: A Field Guide to Character Actors. It will profile 150 of your favourite character actors, from the all-time greats to the up-and-comers. And it will be published by the fine people at Quirk Books, who previously brought you The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide and The Brick Testament, so we’ll be in fine company. The book will be in stores in fall 2005, so start making room on your bookshelves.
I trust this book will be of entirely original “content” written solely by Sternbergh and Ariano, and not the reused, repurposed, or simply copied and stolen work of other Fametracker contributors whose permission was not sought and compensated?
