I love this typeface, and I think I know why:
“…Tobias told us that the tour was inspired by his research leading up to the design of Gotham—a gorgeous typeface, though fast approaching ubiquity—in which he crisscrossed all the blocks below 14th street [manhattan] taking photos of every bit of preserved type he could find…”
the hardest part about working from home is hearing my wife and daughter having the time of their lives downstairs, and i’m stuck up here in front of this screen.
a note via the internets for my wife:
beckey, feel free to thank me for our daughter’s new-found love of velveeta shells and cheese. i’m pretty sure she won’t eat anything else now. i guess we’ll have to go stock up. shoot.
We bought Disneyland passes for the first time ever yesterday. And we documented the occasion (of course). Beckey put a post up that you should go and check out. Good times.
Every weekday, when Berlyln wakes up from her afternoon nap, we go on a walk with Zoey. Side note — this week Berlyn decided that she’s going to walk Zoey from now on, so she convinced me to give her Zoey’s leash and she holds it while Zoey walks faithfully next to Berlyn’s pink car… Back to the story — we start off our walk with a saunter down to the mailbox and back. And without fail, my box is filled with oodles of junk mail. It’s the worst; I hate it. Not only is it a complete waste of my time, but I feel totally guilty that these companies are wasting trees (and their own money — dumb) on a fruitless endeavor. I’ve done my best to take our names off of all the lists I can, but there are still handfuls of credit card offers and dumb catalogs that make it through. So today I came across this site, which promises to rid you of junk mail for a measly $20/yr. Doesn’t sound too bad. A few testimonials on the site seem promising, although you can never really trust marketing-speak. Not sure if I’ll pull the trigger on this, but I’ll consider it.
Pulled out the old polaroid camera today and there were a few exposures left. I love this thing. I’m going to miss it once the film is no longer in production…
this week’s tasks to hours remaining pendulum is getting out of whack. i feel like all i’m doing is adding tasks, when am i going to find time to actually complete them?
