I got a complaint about my blog from one of my friends when I was home in Arizona last. She told me that it was ‘boring’. I assumed that the reason was because that I don’t post enough personal information on this blog. I guess that I’m of the opinion that my Facebook page is more of my personal platform for my own private and political pabulum. Also, I’ve been accused for not feeding my blog enough. So this post is meant to remedy both of these problems.
Firstly, a bit of old news: I moved from the UK back to the US in December and landed in San Jose, California in January of this year to begin working for Adobe on their typeface development team. I wrote a brief life history to explain how I got to that point for those of you that might be interested.
And of more immediate vintage, I just completed an interview for FontShop’s FontFeed, detailing my involvement with FontStruct. This might prove interesting to you if you were able to read through my Adobe biography above without falling asleep.
Lastly, I wanted to take this opportunity to shamelessly mention that I have recently tried to monetize this blog by adding a link to my Amazon A-store, which includes some handpicked items on subject of type and typography. If you haven’t clicked on the link in this paragraph, you can always find the store through the widget showcasing books (many on sale!) on the top, right of this page. If you like any of my recommendations, then buy something!
More news soon, I promise!
