Crisis Averted
In the time since I built the Obama banner for my site, his campaign has revamped his typographical identity, leaving my banner looking hopelessly outdated. I finally downloaded new logos from his site that use the slick new Gotham font and the all-uppercase serif font on his name and built a new one. It [...]

Bill Clinton came through Portland Saturday to speak on behalf of his wife’s campaign and, being an Obama supporter but Bill Clinton admirer, I weathered standing in line for something like three hours to go see him.

The fucking embarrassment to America that is Expelled is nearly upon us and PZ Myers over at Pharyngula is encouraging rational bloggers to link to the National Center for Science Education’s “rebuttal” site Expelled Exposed in order to increase its ranking and visibility on search engines. We really need this site to be in the [...]
