Summer Camp

My birthday is coming up, are you wondering what to get me? Please send me to summer camp.
I just found out about the nerdiest, best thing ever–Type Camp. Yes, that’s right, Type Camp. A bunch of font loving grown-ups gather together on a beautiful island in British Columbia to talk about, play with, create and explore the joys of type. 15 people, all meals catered, afternoons to explore the island- all at the low low price of $1280 (Canadian). Sigh.
I found out about this camp from my new favorite blog, I Love Typography, and yes, I do realize that this is turning into an obsession.

Even More Font Fun?

Yes, I’ve been on a font roll lately it’s true..
But yesterday Digital Inspiration posted on a new web-based program called FontStruct that lets you design your very own fonts-easily and then, if you like, share it via Creative Commons. So cool..and fun to play with!
