here’s something i didn’t know about bertram grosvenor goodhue, the architect of the los angeles central library: he also designed a couple of font faces, cheltenham and merrymount.

this article from wired news about the short life of game addictions is great. i like the comparison to other types of short-term addictions.

pretty much everyone in the small world of warcraft guild i was in appears to have decided to stop playing at just about the same time.

lately i’ve been playing katamari damacy which is delightfully strange. i also picked up the sequel, we love katamari, so i hope my interest in the game doesn’t burn out before i get to that. the sequel also has a two-player co-op mode that sounds like either a lot of fun or grounds for a screaming match.
