Beautifully geometrical, Neo Tech is a superbly designed sans font. We have been using it for a client at work for a couple of months already, and it’s a joy to use. It’s available from fonts.com for about S$80.

Fans owning shares in their club is a fantastic idea. Being a Liverpool fan, I’d love to put my money where my mouth is. But the expected £5,000 contribution per person is a wee bit steep. What cash-strapped fans could possibly do is find a few other fan friends and pool their cash together to get the club away from the current American owners.

I’m hoping this initiative works out. If you want to stay in the loop, sign up at the Share Liverpool FC website.

So many bizarre articles, so little time.

Super lighting work by celebrity lighting artists, UVA for possibly one of the best songs on Battles‘ 2007 album, Mirrored.

Fuck This Book contains pictures of public signs that have been subverted with the mother of all four letter words. Completely addictive and hilarious, you can find out more by visiting the suitably titled website. If you cannot get enough of the book, you can also get Fuck These Postcards.

Although the phrase now is not quite the American cultural touchstone it was four months ago, it still makes for a bloody funny sound bite, even on your chest.

I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.

It is always an assumption on Wall Street that it is not the individuals that lose money; it’s the system. You can fail big time, but you can also succeed big time.

Sweet and beautiful illustrations by Mandy Sutcliffe, a Brit illustrator who has a great passion for her work. She has some very nice prints, cards, stickers, badges and other handmade stuff for sale at her store.

Sitting in the front row for a movie about a Godzilla-like monster wreaking havoc in New York with Blair Witch-style camera work was not really that different from sitting at the last row for a movie about a Godzilla-like monster wreaking havoc in New York with Blair Witch-style camera work.

They should have laced the popcorn with some Emetrol.

Nice write-up on one of the ‘coolest’ ad agency in the world: Mother.

The Sunlight to Petrol, or S2P, project has found a way of using sunlight to recycle carbon dioxide and produce fuels like methanol or petrol.

I’ve started re-working the site, though I may re-do everything at the last minute. I am migrating to the free and extensible Wordpress finally, after many aborted attempts.

The old stuff (2002-2006) will stay archived, warts and all. So, if your bookmarks are still pointing to the old random notes, please update them to point here. (The RSS feed will redirect automagically once I am done with the site.)

Please stay tuned, as we continue dressing up.
