New Rule: Americans Must Realize What Makes NFL... →
Now, me personally, I haven’t watched a Super Bowl since 2004, when Janet Jackson’s nipple popped out during half time, and that split-second glimpse of an unrestrained black titty burned my eyes and offended me as a Christian.

The 50 Most Loathsome Americans of 2010 →
#1: You. Your brain’s been cobbled together over millions of years of blind evolution and it shows. You’re clumsy, stupid, weak and motivated by the basest of urges. Your MO is both grotesquely selfish and unquestionably deferential to questionable authority. You’re not in control of your life. You wear your ignorance like a badge of honor and gleefully submit to oppression,...

Futura for AIGA members →
Join fellow AIGA members on a trip to the theater. Portland Center Stage has graciously offered AIGA Portland a group rate (30% off) to attend the March 10th show of its play, Futura. Futura is described as, “a font; a love story; but ultimately… one rogue professor’s quest to avenge her missing husband – and the lost art of ink on paper.” As Portland Center Stage designer (and AIGA regular)...

My NPR name, bitches.  The rules: Take the first letter of your middle name and insert it anywhere you’d like in your first name. And then your last name is the smallest foreign town you’ve ever visited. Presto: You too can compete with Korva Coleman, Lakshmi Singh and Mandalit del Barco.

Every modern typographer agrees on the one-space rule. It’s one of the canonical rules of the profession, in the same way that waiters know that the salad fork goes to the left of the dinner fork and fashion designers know to put men’s shirt buttons on the right and women’s on the left. Every major style guide—including the Modern Language Association Style Manual and the Chicago Manual of...
