Technology is amazing.

Fonts matter, even if you think they don’t. Changing the entire infrasturcture to support online use of professional typography just isn’t going to happen. It’s like Mark says, “The rest of us will be over here, using the only fonts we’re allowed to use: Everything But Yours.”

You know what… I’m A.O.K. with consumption billing if it’s damn near free when I don’t use anything. At least that way the scale is fair.

Of course Time Warner is trying to make money not be fair. So it won’t work that way.

What they’ll do is leave rates basically the same as they are now, but put a limit on them. Go over the limit, and you pay a metered usage charge. But… if you…  go waaaay under, you still pay the same thing you were paying before.

It’s mobile-phone style billing, but everyone gets the most expensive plan and the only one that really wins is Time Warner. Fuck that.

This will surely be the end of the Internet as we know it.

 

The most adorable Funeral ever.

I’ve been banking with ING for 3 years now. The offer savings, checking, retirement accounts, and mortgages. What’s extra nice is they pay very decent interest on all account types.

Give them a shot. There’s no minimum balance or monthly fee, so you have nothing to lose. Let me know that you’d like to try them and I’ll send you a referal link that will give you an extra $25 if you deposit at least $250. Weee!

American’s wash their hair far too often according to some dermatologists. What ever happened to once a month?
