The Scourge of Arial is an interesting article explaining the lineage of the Arial font. Arial is basically a rip-off of Helvetica, once a very popular font, that became pervasive because of its bundling with Windows.

I present the Flash Game Of The Day, Egyptian Space Taxi. It’s a little tough at first (and the few instructions are in German), but it’s addictive.
W does his rendition of R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly.” Just kidding. W is making a speech on the U.S. demand for immunity in the new International Criminal Court. I’m a little on the fence with this, but I think this sets a bad precedent.

You remember 5.25" floppy disks, right? Well, here’s an archive of 5.25" disk sleeves. I remember back in, oh, 1985 that the Elephant sleeve was pretty cool. Yeah, I didn’t get out much back then.
Supermodels are lonelier than you think is a blog dealing with, you guessed it, supermodels. They live such a hard life… By the way, there is some nudity, so it’s probably NSFW.
