Beginning Tuesday, Monotype Imaging, a Massachusetts company that owns one of the largest collections of typefaces in the world, is making 2,000 of its fonts available to web designers. The move follows the San Francisco-based FontShop, which put several hundred of its fonts online in February. In just a few weeks, Font Bureau, a Boston designer of fonts, will make some of its typefaces available online as well.

Web designers, understandably, cannot overstate how big of a deal this is.

“It's like the 'Wizard of Oz' moment when they go from black and white to color,” said Tal Leming, a typeface designer. “It's going to be huge. It's going to be absolutely huge.” (via)

of course that giant oil condom didn't work! and you know what that means... time to head on down to your neighborhood duane reade and pick up some plan b!

In a radio interview with local radio station WWL, Admiral Thad Allen—recently appointed by President Obama as the National Incident Commander overseeing the recovery efforts in the Gulf—said the backup plan is to "clog it up like you would clog up a toilet" using things like "chopped up tires, pieces of rubber, golf balls" and other clogging agents.

newfangled co-cola machines.


ATLANTA—Coca-Cola Co. hopes a new high-tech soda fountain will add some life to listless soft-drink sales by letting restaurant-goers mix up 104 different drinks, creating inventions such as Caffeine-Free Diet Raspberry Coke.

Coke's new Freestyle machine is housed in a curved metal shell created by the designers of Ferrari race cars, and features a touch-screen menu. Inside, technology common in measuring tiny doses of chemotherapy drugs is used to release digitally-controlled amounts of concentrate flavor from dozens of plastic cartridges. (via)

thx for lookin' out for the ladies, barack.

WASHINGTON — President Obama will nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the nation’s 112th justice, choosing his own chief advocate before the Supreme Court to join it in ruling on cases critical to his view of the country’s future, Democrats close to the White House said Sunday.

After a monthlong search, Mr. Obama informed Ms. Kagan and his advisers on Sunday of his choice to succeed the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. He plans to announce the nomination at 10 a.m. Monday in the East Room of the White House with Ms. Kagan by his side, said the Democrats, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the decision before it was formally made public.

did you know that if kagan is confirmed, there won't be any protestants on the court? 3 j's and 6 c's. she'll be the youngest judge at 50 bears old, and will bring the lady count to 3. straight up taco party! she's only the 4th lady to be nominated. ever!

my favorite story about her is that when she was the dean of harvard law, she refused to let military recruiters operate on campus, in protest of the don't-ask-don't-tell policy. you go, girl.

well, that was a success.
