I’m re-discovering typography. That is, fonts. I had forgotten how much I love type faces.

Typographica is a blog all about fonts. It’s literally the reading equivalent of wine-tasting!

This is the best blog I’ve read in a long time. Phil Pringle takes a verse or two, and annotates the revelation that he gets from it.

This is a great way to read the Bible. My Bible is covered with notes in passages that have really spoken to me. I really recommend doing it if you find the Bible hard to understand. It breaks it open so that you can begin to digest it, and it’s better than underlining, because you can never remember why you underlined it in the first place!

Anyway, Phil’s blog is over at http://philpringle.wordpress.com/2009/05/20/grace-and-work/ (it’s a link to a recent post, well worth the read!).

Check this out! Really good idea. A thesaurus that shows you synonyms connected like a family tree: www.visualthesaurus.com.

Great little page with a list of billions (not really billions) of collective nouns. http://www.rinkworks.com/words/collective.shtml.

Useful if you ever want to look really clever and know what the right word is. Just don’t tell anyone where you found them, and they will think you are a genius.

Sounds like one of those awful cheesy motivational speaker things, but it makes a lot of sense.

Charles Guiteau was an interesting character. Born September 8, 1841, he assassinated President Garfield on July 2, 1881. He was hanged on June 30, 1882 after a lengthy and thoroughly entertaining trial.

This information comes, of course, from wikipedia, but it’s all about the Kate Beaton comic I read just this morning.

You should read the wikipedia article about Charles Guiteau, it’s quite interesting. Plus it contains the phrase, “he was blissfully oblivious to the American public’s outrage and hatred of him.”

I like the way wikipedia articles are written with a sense of humour. I really do.
