Certainly something I need to work on.

Change is a wave you can ride or drown under, but you can’t just sit on the beach, eating Dippin’ Dots and listening to Skynyrd. That’s not how it works. So, even if you’re mostly secure right now, and even if you’re mostly doing what you like, just think about what a big change would mean and how you’d ride it.

First and foremost, Inconsolata is a humanist sans design. I strove for the clarity and clean lines of Adrian Frutiger's Avenir (the lowercase "a", in particular, pays homage to this wonderful design), but also looked to Morris Fuller Benton's Franklin Gothic family for guidance on some of my favorite glyphs, such as lowercase "g" and "S", and, most especially, the numerals.

Clearly a lot of thought and care went into the design of this monospace font. If you are writing code or working in the terminal, try replacing your default with this one, which happens to be free. I am using it at 14 point with ant-aliasing on, and it's gorgeous.

This is an interesting article about combating form spam, using ten techniques other than CAPTCHAs, which are the extra fields a lot of sites use to verify that the user is an actual human and not a spam bot. They add an extra step for the user, and can be frustrating, especially if the words you are asked to type are hard to read. This article explains ways to avoid their use, and still cut down on spam significantly.

Pretty cool visualization of travel data pulled from Twitter and mapped with Processing. It seems like more and more of the data visualization work I see online is being done in Processing.

One my favorites from back in the day is back with a new reel for 2009. I haven't visited in a long time, but it looks like they have a new site (meh) and a lot of new work (whoa). I particularly like the title sequence for Kite Runner.
