Please, someone help Noam's blog. His words are far too important to be set that way. It's difficult enough to follow his dry prose without the intrusive red frame.

Typophile’s 5th Anniversary Relaunch
At 05/05/05 5:55pm, the new Typophile went live. The site uses a Flash technique similar to sIFR to dynamically generate all headlines (this includes the subject line of every forum post) in H&FJ’s new Mercury. Gotham is also used for smaller heads.
The newest post is also displayed as a sort of textu(r)al backdrop in the site’s front page, so Typophile’s entryway is constantly changing. Wow. Suddenly, Typographica’s rotating banner seems ridiculously antiquated.

Burning Rubber
Moments ago, I heard a blood-curdling screech just outside my window. Looking out, I witnessed this BMW inscribe with great speed a zero into the asphalt. The burning tires produced a sizable cloud of charcoal smoke that rose over the rooftops across the street. After a couple breakneck spins, the driver then pulled gently to the curb, got out of the car, and walked casually into his home.
That’s just how we roll on Alcatraz Ave.

Coal Burning Hover Bike
President George W. Bush:
“We need to get on a path away from a fossil fuel economy.”
Nice! Moments later...
“I have asked congress for more than $2 billion over ten years for my coal research initiative.”

I’m an Uncle Again!
Memphis William Coles was born on March 2 and this face says it all. He’s a constant joy to watch. If it’s not comical yawns or peaceful resting, it’s this jolly open-mouthed grin. It will be lovely to have a nephew just a few blocks away.
If you want to watch Memphis through photos as he makes his way out of the NICU and into his home with Mama Jen and Papa James, please join our Flickr group. The grins are free.

White and Delightsome
Photos from the White Party in Vancouver are up. Beautiful decor and wonderful people. Don’t know what I’m going to do with these shoes and glasses now. I’ll let my faithful blog readers have the first whack at ’em before they go on eBay. Shall we start the bidding at $.05 for the entire ensemble?

Waking Up In Stockholm
Jen and Erin woke me at noon on a Saturday. Much of the Sweden experience is represented here: up late and cold with a misshapen beard, lacking adequate bedding — luckily I had my PowerBook and McCobbian side table.
