AINT THE INTERNET GRAND?

There has been much debate about Microsoft Comic Sans lately.
I am not a fan of this font, as you will see, if you follow the links.

Heidi MacDonald (The Beat) published an article about the creator of this font, and I posted a comment.

The very next day, my comment was reprinted on Letterer extraordinaire Todd Klien's blog. He went on to do a detailed analysis of the many failings of Comic Sans.

Its really gratifying to put forward a view on a certain subject, and the very next day receive a detailed examination by one the world's leading authorities in that field.

The subject of Microsoft Comic Sans might not be life changing or earth shattering, but by gum, I was thinking about it, and now I know all about it.

That's one of the really cool things about the internet. Most of the time we just waste time on it, so we forget what an awesome resource it is. You get instant access to a vast universe of information and expert analysis. You could even, theoretically, use it to get info about something important! Not on my blog, though, I deal strictly with trivia and ephemera. That's how I make my living, too. I don't sell a single item that you need. Just stuff that you want. None of it is vital for your survival, but somehow it makes life more fun and interesting.
