Via WebMink, a fairly interesting demo of a 3D desktop by Sun, written in Java, called LookingGlass. It looks pretty, but I’m not sure how much it would really help out. How would you use it with the keyboard, for instance? Anyway, it’s cool to see it working.
The fine folks over at mediumbold have a short, interesting series up on The Evolution of Type from pictograms up to modern pixel fonts. Definitely a good read if you want to know more about these little characters that we use to communicate.
