Not now Futura

August 6th, 2008 by nick

Yeah, how ’bout not ever. Your were so over like 8 years ago. You’re like almost totally retro.

Michael sent me this little font conference flick and even if you’re even the slightest font nerd like me, then you definitely need to watch this. Mailbox, mailbox, MAILBOX!

But I still hate Comic Sans. That will never change.

My buddy Ryan sent this to the list of all the graphic designers from my class of 2001. Go State!

How true this is. And the blond looks familiar. I think She was a year ahead of me in ‘loo town from junior high the high school. Anyway, if you want to be a graphic designer when you grow up, I hope this video is making you think really really hard about your second choice.

Breathe through your nose

I have been in love with Jay Brannan ever since I heard him sing (and get sung into) in the movie Shortbus. I love love love that movie and if you haven’t seen it, do it now! Be warned though, it’s, uhm, well, adult. Like full view penetration.

But anyway, this little beauty popped into my subscriptions on YouTube the other day and it was such a treat. Take a listen and learn, especially if you’re not that adept at smokin’ pole ;)

Oh, and subscribe to his YouTube and def go see him if he’s coming to your city. And buy his CD on iTunes like I did. It comes with a bonus track, it’s iTunes Plus which means it has no DRM, and of course, it’s fantastic!

One last treat before closing off this post. This isn’t on his CD but I’ve loved this song for quite some time and with him singing it, I just love it even more.

Who the hell is Toshi and does he even speak English?

Ok, the Japanese are crazy. We all know that. They have some very interesting ways of learning English as in the fantastic exercise videos I posted a while ago. Now this is a different take and one that’ll most definitely prepare you for a certain career. And if not a career, than at least a reputation…

The part about her parents and grandmother are especially interesting… Thanks Michael for sending this little gem to me!

She’s back and somewhat more sedated than usual.  No big deal though because she’s still one big fount of wisdom.
