Black Ink

Not really much to say about this, other than that there are some very nice typefaces in here.

Ostensibly for Rails, but most of these apply to anyone using an MVC framework, and are worth a look.

This is a pet peeve of mine: people who use tinyUrl type services completely needlessly in blog posts and the like. I understand why, say, twitter does it, because of character limits, but it's still shit practice. URLs should clearly indicate the content they are the URL for. So I'll be plugging this in to my browser.

This is an interesting idea – a more environmentally sound font, but will it have any actual impact on ink use at small sizes? I couldn't find any actual maths on the site. Also, I am a slave to Helvetica, and particularly Helvetica Neue, so until someone produces an ecofont variant on them, I don't see myself picking this up.

Can we all please just move on from this now there's some accurate reportage about it?
