I used to waste so much time on fonts,  back when I printed things on paper. These days, not so much. But still an interesting observation.

Remember that ground breaking shocking documentary from the 70s (or was it the 80s) where they took teenagers to prison and introduced them to the convicts? This blog post reminds me of that film. If you can ignore the language, the message is worth hearing.

I might be stretching the comparison a bit but just wanted you to know I don’t normally condone that much profanity by reblogging it.

I am appalled this is happening in my home state.  I want Time Warner to have to compete against anyone else in the broadband market in municipality.  It galls me to no end that Time Warner sits on its hind end and provides inferior service while enjoying a monopoly blessed by my own city government.
