The Redesign from Hell – Type Choices

Samuel — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 05:12:49 +0000

It is becoming quite apparent that my lack of time and energy is going to make turning this website into something useful somewhat of a problem. With the scant few minutes of the day that are not wholly consumed by baby, wife, work or sleep are not enough to get past the Font Selection Pha... More >

Do you see what I’m talking about?

Samuel — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 04:37:59 +0000

Post every day. Every day? Come on man there are just not enough hours in the day. And honestly even with the small amount of ‘free’ time I have I don’t feel like spending it boring you babbling about how little time I have. See? I’... More >

Post Every Day! (yeah, right)

Samuel — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 05:43:39 +0000

There’s just not enough content being posted here, is there? Forget the crappy layout, how are the robots to aggregate me into profitability if I can’t even post a couple articles a week! Sheesh! I fully intend to post 7 posts in 7 days starting now! You’re reading post #... More >

Web Font Battle: Typekit vs. @font-face

Samuel — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 06:10:33 +0000

I’m trying to beef up my coding skills to be able to offer fully magnificent web typography. I’ve been experimenting with Typekit with some success (if this is still in Garamond you are looking at Typekit in action!), but I have also been trying the @font-face method. ... More >

New Developments!

Samuel — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 06:08:33 +0000

Now that’s it’s been a few months since the munchkin was born I am finally finding the time, energy and will to post something once in a while. I suppose we all struggle with content or concepts once in a while. I think the format for this blog is okay, but I may change it next... More >

Subway – Geometry over Grade

Samuel — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:36:31 +0000

In what can only be called a nut-sackingly good idea, Subway “Restaurants” has decided to start arranging the “cheese” slices on their sandwiches in proper tessellated format. That means (for those of who you cannot right-click-dictionary that shit... More >

Rogers, Continued.

Samuel — Mon, 17 May 2010 02:06:42 +0000

The fallout from this whole Rogers fiasco continues. First they added insult to injury by replying to my complaints via a Twitter account, rather than, you know, the phone number of my current Rogers iPhone. Which they would have if they had read the copy of the post I sen... More >

Top 5: Reasons I hate driving in Montreal

Samuel — Tue, 11 May 2010 05:26:48 +0000

First I would like to qualify my post by saying that, in general, I love the city of Montreal. There is no other city like it, where hundreds of different cultures can coalesce into something as brilliant and unique, full of life, music and art (and counterculture too!). I almost ... More >

The Moderate Muslim View?

Samuel — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:35:29 +0000

There are plenty of things that the Judeo-Christian Bible expressly forbids, but no one but the most extreme followers actually observe them. A few examples would be Poly/Cotton Blends (Leviticus 19:19), eating shellfish (Leviticus 11:10), and a woman grabbing an attacker’s testicles... More >

Dear Rogers Customer Service

Samuel — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:09:03 +0000

[ I wrote this letter to Rogers after I couldn't change my address on their website. It was the final straw in a string of events stretching back over a year. As of yet I have received no formal response, which I consider quite inadequate given my good spelling and level of outrage. Pe... More >
