Intro to Webfonts Presentation

January 12, 2012 – 9:54 am

I talked about web­fonts at the Jan­u­ary edi­tion of the Win­nipeg Word­Press meetup. The slides are not that inter­est­ing, par­tic­u­larly out of the con­text of the pre­sen­ta­tion, but here you go: And, here’s the links from the last slide in click­able form: http://blog.typekit.com/2010/10/15/type-rendering-operating-systems/ http://www.typotheque.com/articles/hinting http://www.fontslive.com/info/typography/web-font-quality.aspx http://www.lucasfonts.com/fonts/thesans/thesans-office/features/ http://cl.ly/9PBw http://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/ https://github.com/typekit/webfontloader/ http://somadesign.ca/projects/fontfriend/

June 6, 2011 – 10:26 am

It looks like I may carve out a niche for cranky Word­Press plu­g­ins. This could either be seen as a per­son­al­ity flaw or as a per­fect fit within open-source cul­ture. In either case, Word­Press makes it easy for irri­ta­ble peo­ple to release plu­g­ins to change what they don’t like about it. I’ve done so twice […]

This past Fri­day marked the sec­ond Win­nipeg Word­Press meetup, and it was fan­tas­tic. It also marked my first time pre­sent­ing on a tech topic, and I thank every­one for let­ting me ram­ble for a while!
