Welcome to Litsy!

Finished the ABC Title Challenge. I might have bent the rules a bit for the letter X, but can you blame me?

Oh my lord, this was FASCINATING, I didn't want to stop reading!
What begins as a story of Carolyn Porter designing a new font (I LOVE when a book includes information about the typeface, so this filled my geeky heart with joy), builds into a tale of deep-dive genealogical research, a forgotten part of French WWII history, and a beautiful story of familial love. Loved it.

A new design book, specifically a workshop book. I‘ve been feeling a little uninspired lately, hoping this might inspire a new project for my portfolio.

Just released our first episode of the new year! We revel in the books we received as Christmas gifts, talk about technology, and review The Shop Around the Corner and A Holiday Affair. We touch on other stuff too but you'll have to listen in order to hear those gems.

Also! Mugs like the one pictured are available to new Patrons. Shoot me a message for more details.

Real and true experiments have a purpose: they serve research, they are the means to find the truth and lead to evidence and proof. In themselves, experiments are not art.
“The Importance of Tradition”, page 31.

I quite enjoyed this book, especially because of the history it touched upon. We zoom from the Library of Alexandria to Bell Labs in the U.S., from medieval scriptoriums to 20th C newspaper offices, from the birthplace of the typewriter to the office where the first email jumped from one computer to another. It‘s a rewarding journey, well researched. He could delete the entire last chapter & improve the book, in my opinion; the rest is great fun.

I look forward to the chapter on the sarcasm mark.

Sending some letters out! I still have a stack to answer, but we‘re getting there!

“An ancient metaphor: thought is a thread, and the raconteur is a spinner of yarns — but the true storyteller, the poet, is a weaver.”
