Sometimes pointing out mistakes can be so satisfying! Taken from Reddit.

The Onion has always been one of my favorite humor sites. They have something brilliant everyday, but today their Facebook account posted a good oldie from 2001 with the title of this post. It’s a perfect article for those of us who like fonts entirely too much…
Check out the full article at The Onion. And while I’m at it, here’s a video from The Onion about Comic Sans! |

CNN has an article today about how logos define a politician’s campaign. It’s probably already pretty obvious how important the design of a logo is for a politician to readers of this blog, but I was more interested in the pictures of current logos for the Republican presidential candidates. The commentary on the slideshow portion at the top of the page is interesting. Even before looking at these images, I was fairly certain which one would look the best to me. I figured Ron Paul’s logo would look the best because he has a much younger “fan base” than the rest of the Republican candidates. He gets the same benefit that Barack Obama has by having an enthusiastic and young base – technically savvy people who have a good sense of what’s “cool” and neat. While I do like a couple of the other logos, nothing is as crisp and classy as Paul’s. It’s not busy, but it’s not bland. It looks modern and is easy to see from a distance, which is always important for advertising your campaign. But dear God… will you look at how awful Gary Johnson’s is? |

I have to confess that I wasn’t entirely sure which one was which before I saw this graphic. Be enlightened like I was!

This passage was originally on a picture I found on Reddit. I felt it was stupid to have it in picture format, so I’m typing it out here. Who knows if it’s actually true or not (it reeks of a forwarded email chain type of story), but I found it funny. It is supposedly talking about some basic English lessons given to the prime minister of Japan to prepare him for his visit with President Obama.

This tutorial will provide you with the HTML and CSS required to make a fixed-position, two-color border for your HTML pages. The strategy requires four div elements, none of which carry any content. Keep in mind that these div elements will cut into the available vertical and horizontal space. A note on browser compatibility: I’ve tested this technique in the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome. I’ve not tested (and for my sanity, I won’t test) this in any version of Internet Explorer. Mobile Safari doesn’t seem to recognize position:fixed, so if your site is mobile, don’t use this. |

These were just two of the words that people want banished from the English language according to this article. I would like to nominate “moist” because really… who wants to say or hear that word? |
