A comic strip with math and language jokes – new we’re talking! I of course have to pick the most sexually explicit one I’ve read. If you’d prefer some nice friendly generation gap humor, there’s always Join Myspace (which is not actually a promotion of that crap hole, but a joke about it).

Science Fair - The Mathematics of Cunnilingus
Set opening paragraphs flush left | The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web
I’m puzzled by the short technical discussion here, maybe he’s not done? The reason I’m puzzled is because he hasn’t mentioned how he addresses this very issue on webtypography.net. The code he’s using now is:
p + p {
margin-top: 0pt;
text-indent: 1.5em;

Travel Settlers Mod
Finally got around to building a Macro Photo Studio. Built out of a 16” box, which may be a little small for a full sized game, but should be just right for Cybil’s product shots. I’ve still got shadow and light source brightness issues to work out (cheated using curves in Photoshop, but the green […]
BoargGameGeek.com Thread: Podcasting
Ok, so I’m a little slow just finding The Spiel last night. From the discussion though it sounds like they require a little screening.
The Spiel: A Podcast About Games & the People Who Love Them
“Spiel” is german for “Game”, but this is a podcast by a couple of guys in Indiana. It’s going to take me a little while to catch up on this one, each episode is around an hour long, but it’s got so many great segments it needs to be that long in order to go […]

The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web has a new entry that is exceptionally good. It’s basically talking about the fundamentals of how to set up a baseline grid in CSS, without actually saying “baseline grid”.
