Four years ago,

Typographica:

Our Favorite Fonts of 2004. The comment about Auto: “The following confessions were found in an unnamed schoolgirl’s diary: -I think I want Auto 3 Italic to be my boyfriend. -Where in the rule books does it say that counters must be closed? Set them free, Auto 3! -I dreamt again of Auto, but this time its three brilliant and handsome creators were there. We all snuggled with a giant, furry swash ‘A’.”

I picked up my first

February 17, 2005 by Michael Boyle

I picked up my first

universal remote today – one of these: Logitech Harmony Universal Remote. The goal, of course, is to try to regain control over the proliferation of remotes on our coffee table, and I am pleased to report that it works very well and that programming the thing via the internet works and was a snap to complete. There are still some customizations that I want to implement, but you can cover the basics in a few minutes.

Jay Rosen

February 15, 2005 by Michael Boyle

Jay Rosen

has posted his PressThink: Closing Thoughts on the Resignation of Eason Jordan which touches on a lot of the issues. He also refers to the transcript of the segment on the affair from last night’s Lehrer News Hour. Though I think Rosen is right on, it still seems lost in this that blogs didn’t cause Jordan’s resignation. If the powers that be at CNN choose not to recnognize the distinctions that can be drawn between different blogs, it’s unreasonable to suggest that “the blogosphere” at large had anything to do with Jordan’s decision. The blame – if that word applies at all – has to lie solely at CNN’s own feet.
