What a silly place to post an oath...

Nevertheless, I’ve been smoking tobacco since age 14. In 24 years of smoking, on average, a conservative guess of 3 cigarettes per day (handrolled for the past 10 years), I have smoked roughly 25,000 cigarettes. That’s a lot of carcinogens. So here it goes, the grand daddy of New Year’s Resolutions: I am going to quit tobacco.

In 2008, I will actually finish a font.

1. Work on learning a second language
2. Best my wife at Wii boxing at least once

Happy new year!
I will ski and climb more.

yeah - happy new years.

you’re right Koppa... but when has that stopped me before.

Hmm, Gonna get my portfolio(s) in order,
resume freelancing,
Like jongseong, finish a font,
& actually refer back to to-do lists after making them.

Happy New Year!! everyone.

In 2008, I shall save the World from itself - one graphic at a time.

Goals for 2008: get more stuff published, do more sailboat racing and move to Europe.

My pretend new years resolutions include prefect time travel, join the women’s PGA tour, and meet the chairman from Iron Chef.

2008 is one of those typographically awkward years, at least in terms of oldstyle numerals. Those three short numerals and one tall one will be bothering me all year.

Consider that the proportions of oldstyle numerals developed during the long period after the 13th century and before the 21st in which almost all years looked nicely weighted with either an ascending or descending second numeral. For the next 292 years we’re stuck with occasional ugly number sequences.

Wish you all a grea8 year ahead.
Ok, I will be writing all my lc g’s like ’8’ this year :)

typographically awkward

Pretty much every 10 years.

Pretty much every 10 years.

Once one starts getting ascending or descending numerals in the third position things look better. So 2018 and 2028 are kind of unattractive, but 2038, 2048, and so on are much improved.

maybe this millennium needs to be set in ’title case’. :¬)

Now that’s cute, Chris. :-)

2008 is one of those typographically awkward years, at least in terms of oldstyle numerals.
