Stubs via Del.ico.usLibrary and type foundry of Jos Buivenga. Fantastic work, and generously licensed free of charge. I would encourage anyone to donate if they are able.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful scripts! To name but a few: Malbeck, Primavera, Pronto and Candy.
The incredible pictures from the book. Seminal work; emotive; extraordinary. (Skip the busted "=14" page in the URL sequence by editing the URL to go to 15. It's worth it.)
Written by Thomas Phinney. Very much worth a read.
A great essay by Monika Fludernik that is a also a perfect example of how great writing is devalued on the Web by bad design; no inline links, lack of proper headings and semantic context or markup, and animated ads.
Type specimens from Charles Jacobi's Some notes on Books and Printing (1903).
Beautiful content, much relevance and historical value. Exactly the kind of material I'd love to typeset for the Web.
Gutenberg to Plantin: An Outline of The Early History of Printing by Geroge Parker Winship, Librarian of the Harry Walkins Widener Collection, Harvard College Library.
Example of material for a proposed course in Manuscript Studies, Medieval and Early Modern by Stephen R. Reimer, Associate Professor of English, University of Alberta.

@theronin My sympathies, mate. Fireworks does the same these days in Adobe's hands. I'm losing what little faith I had in their monopoly.
@funkatron I had the same feeling browsing the O2 site and visiting the store in the UK. Itchy-scratchy feeling I was being stitched-up.
ClearType really needs to have the painfully bad anti-alias / hinting fixed at larger text sizes. I wonder who I should try and talk to?
IE doesn't support @import url("s.css") screen; with the screen instruction. Who knew? Scratch that, who expected otherwise.
Back from the house. Hyper-excited. Thinking about designs for the interior before meeting carpenters next week.
@tdhedengren thanks!
Just got the keys - standing in our new (very empty) house back in Monpelier!

This simple dish was created with a little xHTML, a dash of CSS and a pinch of PHP. It’s garnished with hAtom, hCalendar, XFN, hCard and rel-tag with a large slice of accessible intent. Hopefully it plays nicely, all the time.
