On another note, William Berkson burned all of his refernce material so that he can prove he has committed every quote on Earth to memory [except the ones not printed in Caslon].

Further news just in: Vincent Connaire in a surprising announcement, swore off photographing beautiful women forever. He said it was just too boring and was going to focus his new-found energies on taking pictures of socks being darned.

This just in from CNN! Tiffany Wardle was recorded as swearing a blue streak even sailors would be too embarassed to utter. The outburst was in response to the U.S. Supreme Courts recent banning of the EULA as a legal document. Tiffany was quotes as saying to the Chief Justice:
"@#$%%#@&&**###@@%!!!"

Thomas Phinney's response was, "It'll be on my blog in a few weeks."

Yves Peters could not be reached for comment because Sabine had locked up his laptop until May.

Maxim Zhukov was seen picketing NASA claiming he had proof that the recent demotion of Pluto from planet status was not a change in position, but a screwup! The UN would not comment saying it was their policy to not interfere with other worldly issues.

And as Patty was awarded the prize, she made a shocking confession: She and 'missgiggles' are actually one and tha same person! "Being a serious professional is so taxing," she said. "I need to keep in touch with my inner student."

Satya won the Most Bigga Avatar price.

PS: Finland strongly objected to the royal honor bestowed on Spiekermann saying that his FF-Mt was unusable in Finland. The Czechs reported no problem whatsover with the type.

Well done, Chris!

Filip Blažek sent a press release earlier this week announcing the the Czech portions of the April issue of Typo Magazine will be typeset in FF-Mt. The translations into Hawaiian and Finn will revert to Helvetica due to a technical issue which Blažek refused to elaborate on.

Adam Twardoch announced at a Sunday brunch for the printing press that the soon to be released new manual for FontLab Studio will be set in FF-Mt in a space saving move. Customers were complaining about the huge volume of pages that were almost indecipherable for the current manual. Twardoch was quoted as saying, "The new manual will now be so compact that it will fit on the head of a pin!" Twardoch later added: "Customers will be happy not only for the size reduction of the FL5 manual but that it will still remain unintelligible as ever."

good spelling Chris on the connaire... it's the original Irish version...

Bullseye, Mr. Dezcom!

Spelling was such a strong suit for me:-)
