Mr. Paine’s spirit is apparently distributing handbills on the streets of Seattle.
As a designer who has gleefully cribbed from the type design of other eras, I applaud this somewhat unrefined effort to employ eighteenth-century modes of type design. The lovely marbling is nothing more than street mud, which I believe truly finshes the piece.

macosxhints – AvantGo is back on Mac OS X for USB Palm devices (via a third party project), plus a longish troubleshooting discussion. File under ‘next week, for sure.’
thingsmagazine.net is currently holding down the ‘best summary’ slot in my digital peregrinations, recently encoutered-ness not withstanding.
What better way to cement your audience’s love an appreciation than a straightforward namecheck? In the same graf as such august wonders as ask mefi and the mighty mighty b2, yet.
Thanks, things! What a nice way to turn in from the pub! (yes, pub – I revisited the site of the grey-haired barfly incident this night, an’ its’ gots a snug, an’ Watleys, an’ so forth. And the occasional tussle.)
Without going into detail, as I’m pressed for time, may I say I’ve finally investigated the local workgroup sharing features of OS X, and I couldn’t be happier. All the boxen now have printing. All the boxen now have access to the music library. Everything works smoothly over wireless. Very nice indeed.
I am truly the king of the late adopters.
argh – an external harddrive apparently slept last night, eventually snoozing the whole box. sorry for the apparent down time.
TidBITS#712/12-Jan-04 offers detailed analysis of the MacWorld announcements from last week. While Adam’s lead editorial struck me as less sharp than he’s capable of (it felt more like justification than analysis, something that may be borne out by his noting that he’s not a music-oriented Mac user), the detailed discussion of iLife 04, in particular, is worthwhile.
Non-Mac iPod users: what do you think of Adam’s thesis?
My portfolio occupied much of my time today, apologies for the dead air.
Go take a look! I still need to wrangle the assets for a number of old-skool multimedia CD-ROMs, but there’s a passel of material there that was not previously available.
Gallery, for all its’ not-immediately apparent limitations and frustrations, remains a deeply flexible tool, and I am ever-thankful for it. Adding the fifty-or-so graphic files I threw up today would have been a much more frustrating experience without it. Here’s to ya, Bharat and company!
thingsmagazine.net: daily links, photos and new writing about objects. Why, exactly, do I find this so dense?
via oldtimey’s referrer site. And may I say, hippo birdie two ewes, by the way.
Translators are welcome to clarify my cryptic musings.
My So-Called Blog examines the folkways of the blog, or, more precisely, of some teenagers who use LJ.
It’s long, appears accurate enough if highly focused, and, regrettably, will surely lead to some interesting questions for those of us not in adolescence. OMG! Now I can devote the rest my life to explaining that blogs AND comics are not really something exclusively for kids.

And then, out of nowhere, a creepy-looking bald-headed creature comes onto the scene.
Father-to-be Matthew Baldwin points out that the whole alllegorical meaning of LOTR has been wildly misinterpreted.
