Lately, every time I go to bed at a "reasonable" time (i.e. 11 PM), I get little sleep. Like tonight. Woke up at 2 AM, stayed in "bed" for a half hour, got up, read stuff for an hour, went back to "bed" thinking I was tired, and tossed and turned for another half hour. So it's now 4 AM. Fuck it, I was going to get up at 6.

It's okay. I didn't need sleep anyway. Note sarcasm.

I will probably be primarily non-verbal today during daylight working hours, except in conversational facade. Joy.

Weird.

I just finished posting yonder previous entry and clicked over in the list at the top of the page to Aaron Swartz's blog. In one entry he mentions Edward Tufte, typography, and _The Elements of Typographic Style_. Ironically, I mentioned two of the three in said post, and I just picked up _The Elements of Typographic Style_ this past Friday at Stacey's Bookstore, along with some other books.

Also, I was just mentioning civil planning in the context of San Francisco and the Bay Area as compared to Toronto, along with Jane Jacobs (who lives in Toronto) and _The Death and Life of Great American Cities_ to a friend this evening on our way to see the new Harry Potter sequel.

I don't think I've read Aaron's blog in well over a month or more until just now.

Coincidences like this occasionally freak me out.

Working on some web stuff. You'll see.

There might even be a new look for the blog! And maybe even my home page!

But probably not.

Also, building interesting visualizations, which lead (naturally) to making interesting fonts. Or at least playing with fonts in the hopes of making something interesting. Typography is cool as hell. I blame Edward Tufte for reigniting this urge in me most recently. Don't ask why.

foolish.

I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I made the PNG above in Illustrator as a small artistic diversion from writer's block. Feel free to use it elsewhere. Drop me an email if your so inclined, but don't consider yourself obligated.

My flatmate sent this to me with the subject "you'd enjoy this". He's oh so right. And so is the article.
