The Comic Sans Project (Tumblr Blog of the Day)

Despite the flack that Comic Sans has been getting in the recent years, I think that it may be making a comeback! Exhibit A: The hilarious essay titled “I’m Comic Sans, Asshole.“ Exhibit B: The Comic Sans Project, which takes famous logos and replaces their proprietary fonts with — you guessed it — Comic Sans.

The First Kiss

I always have a television show on queue to watch whenever I get some downtime and need to zone out, or when I am having trouble falling asleep. And these days, that show has been The Wonder Years. (image source) (Never watched The Wonder Years? Go do it now. It’s on Netflix streaming!) I have […]

Letting Go of Control

Yesterday, I had noted that Aerin generally seems to be an easier baby than Claire. I now have another theory as to why may be so: it’s because as second-time parents, we are much more relaxed about EVERYTHING. For example, for the first few months of Claire’s life we religiously tracked her every breath with […]
