I’m a little behind on my reading (and posting) but work has been busy and taking time off for SXSW didn’t help things. I found myself reading the February issue of How while I ate my lunch today. February was the issue on typography. I was surprised to find an article on web typography but even more surprised by what it wrote:

James is inside my head
I don’t know how he did it but somehow he managed to steal this list straight out of my brain. Sure he added a few things like move to New York and picking up music again, but it’s basically my list.
Fanboy Numero Uno
I’m normally a “play-it-cool” kinda guy. I don’t like to fawn over people or even go out of my way to meet them. They’re just people. And if they’re well-known people they probably already have enough of that going on and wouldn’t mind a little bit of personal space.
