Make Your Own Font

Author: ryanvis
This seems like a lot or detail work to do on the web, but maybe I’m just lazy. Make your own font (as in draw it), and then download it as a True Type font to use. Cool idea; little iffy on the execution. If you’re really into fonts, you can have your handwriting made […]

Spyware buys legitimacy (or, AdAware sells out its users)

Author: ryanvis
Broadband Report users are fuming (rightfully so) over Lavasoft’s new comfort level with the WhenU program, an adware app that suddenly wasn’t being detected by AdAware. No notice was given, no patch was availble. Oddly, WhenU also cut deals with other spyware removal apps at the same time Lavasoft’s product changed, but Lavasoft has yet […]

Why do people find the need to associate their businesses with their politics? Aside from a few, lucky people, mixing your personnel politics with your business is just plain stupid. Business is about conversations and by asserting your political views to a potential customer, before you’ve even started a conversation, is akin to leading off […]

The Freep says it best: He painted Eve as God created her: nude. And when he finished including the bare-bosomed Biblical first woman, he inscribed the word “love” on the mural that covers the outside wall of his Roseville art studio. In Ed (Gonzo) Stross’ eyes, his variation on Michelangelo’s “Creation of Man” mural is […]

Election Reform – Part 1

Author: ryanvis
The cynic in me says that this legislation will never pass. This time. But it’s a great start and some really good ideas. Keep in mind that I said that as I tell you the proposal and who proposed it. Some good news on electoral reform: Today Senators Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, […]

My heritage in four panels
Post date:
Author: ryanvis
Damn it, Achter, you hit me again. Who knew there were four panels that could sum up my childhood. West Michigan isn’t as “thrifty” as it used to be (anyone remember the Woolworth’s on River? Big Ten on US 31?). But the area does have that nostalgicflair for the, uhm, cheaper pleasures in life. Something […]

Flamewar!

Mention grad students; check. Point out ridiculous union stance; check. Post to highly-trafficked, local blog; check. Get your flamewar over at AAiOR! Man, I don’t check AAiOR for a couple days and I totally miss out on being called “dense”. Damn. Link

"Tax" the internet? How's that supposed to work?

Yahoo! has this feature that let’s you put news-type blocks on the front page of your My Yahoo! page. Until today, ZDnet was occupied a five-line block on my page. Then I read this article by Lance Ulanoff. PC Magazine, ZDNet, can we talk? I know I’m nobody; I don’t rank in the Top Anything […]
