Here’s a little treat for all of my chummers who spend their day swimming in code. Damien Guard has developed a nice looking type family specifically for coding, Eny. From the looks of it, Damien is in the 7th round of iterations with this font, so feel free to send any comments or bugs you experience while using the font.

Recently I have begun to feel “Too Old” for some of the things I have generally enjoyed in my life. More specifically, my appreciation for Mindless Self Indulgence has begun to wane. I will preface this whole thing by clarifying that Frankenstein Girls is a fricking awesome album and a top pick to jump-start your ride to work. You’ll Rebel To Anything was pretty good too, not mind blowing, but good. When I heard their latest album If, I felt like they had either given up or have made a conscious effort to sell out. I suppose fame can do that to you.

Most recently, what really drove this home was catching this Youtube clip of Jimmy Urine having a tizzy-fit because he saw mid 90’s teen heart throb and current 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jarred Leto at one of their concerts trying to be incognito and taking notes. Seriously Jimmy, who gives a crap. Your bands aren’t remotely similar, so I doubt that he was there trying to steal your Jimmy-ness. A shrug and a laugh would’ve come off a lot cooler than threatening to kick Leto’s ass. It’s like Jimmy has finally become one with his fan base—the insecure tweens that don’t know how to handle life other than to lash out.

So, I got my lovely wife Ivy a MacBook for Christmas, her old Blueberry iBook just wasn’t cutting the mustard. So far she loves the sweet machine, it works great for the things she does (read: surf the net). Personally, I didn’t think she was getting the most out of the investment, so I tried to figure out what else she would want to do with it. Ivy really loves the built in iSight camera, she’s always posing PT in front of it. What better way to encourage this interest than to get her up and running on the new Photoshop Express photo sharing site. That’s just what we did.

We spent the bulk of Saturday night figuring out PSE, getting her an account, uploading photos, and creating some galleries. I even showed her how to upload photos from our digital camera onto her computer. I suspect that I’ll be sneaking around the house with the digi-cam more and more these days. I know computers and such aren’t really her cup of tea so I just want to publicly tell her how proud I am that she figured this all out.

Check out the album she made for our favorite little pooch, PT.

Or at the very least become radioactive mutant freaks. Okay, that’s still a gross exaggeration, the point is that eventually the earths magnetic fields will need to switch and that could have a huge impact on the way future generations live. If you want a better idea of what I am talking about read the article on iO9.

Being an alarmist is the best.
