Deckchairs on the TitanicA monologue on design, technology, history, etc.Flex.- April 25, 2008 I'm exceedingly boring these days. That's why I haven't posted very much on Deckchairs. And that's why the stuff that I have posted (e.g. videos, fonts, etc.) is of little relevance to almost anybody but me and three other people. My boringnesss stems, at this time, from three factors: I am completely swamped with (great) design work for (great) clients, Passover was here, and the weather has been mildly better (except for today when we got, yes, about 1 inch of snow). Just to keep this boring.http://deckchairs.net/2008/04/flex.html Soho.- April 21, 2008 Happy Passover. It looks like typographer Sebastian Lester came out with Soho Gothic, a beautiful complement to his incredible Soho. Oooh, I need some money to buy these. About $1,500.00 is all.http://deckchairs.net/2008/04/soho.html Yelkrab Slrang.- April 15, 2008 It turns out that Gnalrs Barkley is giving away its whole album free, backwards and in one continuous track. You can download it from their crazy mini-site. It's not bad.http://deckchairs.net/2008/04/yelkrab_slrang.html Gnarls Barkley.- April 13, 2008 Everything looks better with Gnarls Barkley's "Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)" - this was almost impossible to find as, seemingly, NBC has taken crazy steps to keep it off the Net. This song and everything about it is brilliant. Gnarls Barkley - Run Live SNLby Get-Me-Bodied I'd be surprised if this is video is still around tomorrow.http://deckchairs.net/2008/04/gnarls_barkley.html Inky.- April 11, 2008 My cat of sixteen years passed away about four hours ago. It's been nothing but difficult these past few hours. I'm filled with longing and hurt, and sadness, mostly. I loved Inky tremendously. He was with me through thick and thin, big and small - the birth of my daughter, the death of family members, the deliberations of relationships, and the demise of jobs. I feel like I was punched in the stomach right now, ready to throw up my memories and not willing to let them, or him, go. He was born.http://deckchairs.net/2008/04/inky.html Help wanted.- April 3, 2008 <self-promotional-post> So, I posted this position today for a CSS developer at Authentic Jobs.
