David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

The NY Times is currently running an article on the typeface used on the cornerstone of the building being erected at ground zero. I find it hard to believe that the font choice for this cornerstone is really of much interest to the majority or even a sizable minority of the Times' readers. However, I suspect it is of considerable interest to those who work in print publications like, for example, the NY Times. So what do you think, is this a useful article that fits well into the NY Region section of the Times or a bit of harmless reportorial bias slipping into the world of story selection?

Just as there are computer geeks, there are also typography geeks:

Typography geeks are everywhere, too. You may even be living with one without knowing it.
