The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics

on February 1st, 2012

Produced by legendary Chuck Jones, this little film about the love between a freedom-loving (female) dot and a dependable (male) line is a treasure of sprightly language and delightful visuals.

It is enchanting, charming, witty – everything one could expect from a master of animation who was responsible for creating such cultural icons as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. And incidentally, The Dot and the Line won the 1965 Oscar for Best Animated Short movie. Read more

Bauer’s Family Tree of Printing Types

Here’s to the crazy ones

on October 6th, 2011

Steve Jobs died yesterday and the news pretty much paralised me for most of today. I hadn’t realised how much this one man did for me. How many of the things I love in my life I owe to him and his vision. So I have to say this, as publicly as I can:

Thank you Steve. For my tools of the trade, for my toys, for giving me the means to create things I can be proud of. For making it believable that it is not necessary to compromise on one’s dreams. For making it that bit easier for me not to compromise on mine. Thank you and I hope you’re having fun reinventing Paradise.
