Helvettaca or something like that?

Disclaimer: This is an excerpt from an actual email from Cooper’s teacher that came to my inbox yesterday. I almost fell over when I read it. As designers, we’re trying to raise design-minded kids and Cooper has always shown an affinity for typography from a very young age… but no one will believe us when we say we aren’t forcing this on him. He IS right about Comic Sans, though. Maybe he’ll start a movement to improve typography in preschool classrooms across America!

Ya can’t make this stuff up, folks.

Watch Cooper (at age 3!) try to convince the internet that his dad loves Zapfino.

Agreed, you can’t make this stuff up.

Wow, Ben Brooks is pretty riled-up on this one:

As I said above I was pretty excited about The Verge and what the crew behind it was trying to do. I think they created a great independent site that gets excellent access to companies they cover. I think that they created a great brand and image.

But I think the site’s content is pretty lackluster.

Push aside the press release re-writes that contain little to no commentary — this is par for the course (unfortunately) — and you are left with tech specs.

On some degree I agree with Ben, yet The Verge also have their value on how to cover news in tech, and I too agree with them. It’s a matter of taste, perhaps?
