If you mess with fonts on a daily basis, you owe it to yourself to try out Font Explorer X. As already explored in a blog post over at Jason Santa Maria’s, this app looks like it might develop itself into THE must-have font application. I’ve had this installed at work for about a week […]

I couldn’t get far enough away. I took a few days of “vacation” last week, heading up north with my wife and my dog. One of the highlights of the trip was eating at Pearl’s, and ordering up a flight of bourbon, which I’ve never had before. As if heading north for a few days […]

“All that hard work paid off. With the help of a video, the album went like hotcakes! They sold a quarter million copies! Here is the […]

You need to get a Cadbury “Curly Wurly” bar. They are not generally sold in the U.S., but you can sometimes find them in specialty candy stores and you can get them many places online. They are identical to the old Marathon Bars in shape, size, and taste. Just a different label.
