Some late lunchtime news chum, in praise of what has gone before:
- You Got Balls! Selectric balls, that is. The LA Daily Mirror, in honor of the new Selectric stamp, reminds us of those wonderful fonts of old: Orater, Script, and Courier. Seeing those fonts made me think of working in APL.
- Bodily Fluids. The NY Times has an interesting article on embalmers. Dispite the health risks, they still prefer formaldehyde to preserve bodies.
- What’s Old is New Again. Ah, the 1990s. They’re coming back. Nickolodeon is bringing back Kenan and Kel, All That, and other 1990s programs for a “The 90s are all that” block. Additionally, MTV is bringing back Bevis and Butthead.
P.S.: (h/t lyahdan on G+) Now that’s its over, lets take a moment to praise the hero of a recently ended seven-part series (eight, if you watch the movies): Hermione Granger
