Ironic Sans: March 2013 Archives

Pre-pixelated clothes for Reality TV shows. Check out the post that started it all.

What is Ironic Sans?
Thinking about fonts one day, I decided that “Ironic Sans” would be a great name for a serif font. Maybe one day I’ll get around to actually designing it. In the meantime, I think it makes a good name for my blog.

More Than You Ever Wanted To Know About My Mac

Tech blogger Shawn Blanc asked me to contribute to his long-running series of Sweet Mac Setups by describing my hardware/software for his readers. I happily obliged in pornographic detail. So if you’ve ever wondered (as I’m sure you no doubt have) just what kind of computer I use, and what software I use, and why I still burn files on optical media, and how many plants are near my desk, and what my favorite iPhone calendar app is, and what’s on each of my hard drives, then here’s your chance to read all about My Sweet Mac Setup.

An Inventor For Math And Magic Fans

This week’s episode of INVENTORS is about Mark Setteducati, a magician, artist, and one of the founders of the Gathering For Gardner (the biennial festival honoring mathematician and writer Martin Gardner). His clever toys and puzzles incorporate principles of math and magic.

In the video, he talks about hexaflexagons. If you’re at all a curious person, be sure to check out Vi Hart’s fantastic three part series about hexaflexagons on her YouTube channel.

This blog is typeset in Georgia, Times New Roman, or Times, in that order of priority based on what fonts are installed on your computer, or whatever standard serif font is installed if none of the above. The exceptions are the main title, which is based roughly on Baskerville Old Face, and the handwritten parts which are, well, my handwriting.
