In August, 2001 I was blogging about…

Broken Links and Poor Information Architecture (and of course the link to that article had broken, and the site taken over by low-value clickbait… but the Internet Archive preserved the original article)
Helvetica Bold Oblique Sweeps Fontys (satire from the Onion, from an alternate timeline where typefaces get the respect they deserve)
Boys and handwriting (from “equal-but-different” feminist Christina Hoff Summers)
Velma from Scooby-Doo (a year or so before the Warner Brothers movie was released)
The collapse of the Industry Standard (lifestyle magazine that breathlessly tracked the dot-com gold rush)
A (then) new edition of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, restoring over 170 illustrations published in the first edition and making over 100 word-level corrections based on a new study of Twain’s full manuscript.

I can’t fix this broken world but I guess I did okay using #blender3d to model this wedge-shaped building for my #medievalyork #mysteryplay project.
