While browsing through various tutorials on typography, I came across the “right” way to use bullets. I’m not too sure about using this style though. Indenting bullets is more commonly seen in print and on the web, and attempting to use the right style will definitely stick out (for the wrong reasons.)

Sans Serif

Jon Hicks has a quick introduction to various typography terms. Have you ever found yourself wondering what line-width, em and serif were? Or what font is appropriate for headings and content? Then, this presentation is for you. His presentation also has a list of related links.

I was surprised to find out that Lucida Grande is the default font on Max OSX. The default font in Keynote is Gill Sans, so I assumed it was same throughout. Gill Sans is one of my favorite fonts.

I can never forget Helen Keller’s quote:

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

I come across so many things in the world that are just beautiful. I’ll try to post some of my experiences in this newly created category. It’ll mostly be pointers to things other people have created.

[I'll avoid the philosophical question about good science being art.]
