Typography for Lawyers As a person that prints out manuscripts (and puts together photocopied ‘zines) and mails them out, the idea of expressing professionalism through typesetting interests me. I’ve been pretty loyal to the Arial font for a good number of years now, unless the guidelines demand Courier. I don’t use standard Courier or Courier [...]

Merry Christmas everyone.  I’m getting primed for New Years Eve and things will probably slow down even more around here while I sort out the issues with my web-development stuff.  Expect Echoes and Mirrors to move soon.  Also, I’m not sure if Craig has plans to post here anymore – he just started a new [...]

Ranked by site-meter based on what is bringing people here: Porn. (Edita Bente, specifically) “mirrors and lsd” Cornbrator And the rest seems to be from some cd rips I posted ages ago or random music/movie reviews I’ve written, but those are almost always from foreign countries.

Apparently she loves anal. Which is pretty normal, actually. The bizarre thing is a celebrity came out and said it. Some local teachers turn faculty lounge into a swingers club. At least they’re keeping their hands of the chillins. Your religion is funny. Mine is a joke. Like the freedom of the internets? The Durable [...]

How to use GPG with Gmail. Very nice.

Remember the badass who killed a bear with a fucking stick? Yeah, PETA is harassing about it now. Tor/win32. You know why. Safe-Haven shenanigans come to an end. Oh, poo. In case most people don’t realize it, Bob Barr (Yeah, that Libertarian guy) was the guy who wrote the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. Doesn’t [...]

LOLCode makes me happy. (via Linguistic Mystic) It’s about as useful as Brainf*ck or any of the other esoteric languages, but that’s not really the point. In fact, it’s more of a puzzle, but the real fun is writing the interpreter in your language of choice. Especially because the LOLCode is suspiciously similar to sh, [...]
