The Evolution of the Ampersand

I might be bla­tantly steal­ing from this post, so please readt i bforet, and give it all the credit. A most amaz­ing site about the his­tory of all the cool typo­graphic char­ac­ters — which are often left unno­ticed and not played much around with in type­faces (like the octothorpe = #), and very pretty char­ac­ters

Windows 8

I’m the last guy (at least I believe for nowa­days) you’d find blog­ging about tech­nol­ogy. It’s almost like talk­ing pub­licly about the envi­ron­ment. Every­body has a screwed-up opin­ion, and a major­ity of the peo­ple stand­ing around, pre­tend to know what will work, and just absolutely know every­thing that mat­ters. That is kind of why I

The Mathematical Crusade

It hap­pened. Like, two weeks ago. See — that’s how awe­somely fast my life is. Hence, I for­got to tell you about it. Now, I’m pretty offi­cially also called tech.head, while Anurag is called Ac.  Head. And I’ve actu­ally aban­doned most of my anger at that. Here go my “tech­ni­cal” con­tri­bu­tions to this year’s cru­sade.

42

      What is 7 times 6? What is 9 times 5 to the base 13? What is the ulti­mate answer to life, uni­verse and every­thing? What is the num­ber of this post on this blog?   Here goes my 42nd post. It ain’t exactly no land­mark, but still. Have fun. Can you imag­ine you actu­ally bore

Happy Towel Day!

I missed the Towel Day, which was to be cel­e­brated on the 25th of May. Which is in fact. a very sad thing to hap­pen, but yeah… I’ll take care not to miss it the next time around! 364 days left for it, after all! :-O You can also know if it is Towel Day, just

My font fetish

I’d been look­ing for this font every­where. It was every­where in print, in all the cool new books my brother had got­ten (like Real­ity Check). That was rather notice­able — all the for­eign pub­lished and printed books have such sophis­ti­cated typog­ra­phy, it actu­ally makes you hate the other Indian print books, due to their super

I’m at a dead end! Help me ahead…

Do you like this? [rat­ings] I really didn’t like how it turned out… Now I know what’s meant by the-need-for-inspiration among design­ers. I really need some. Any­one want­ing to help me out?? =) I found this rather cool.… The only prob­lem com­ing up is the lack a pos­si­bly equally cool, or cooler back­side.. Any tips on

My _Business_ Cards, entered for a contest!

I had made two pairs of cards for myself (you see, I had started think­ing of myself as highly impor­tant, and the sort… ). They were the first entrants into my DA page. Then came along this cool con­test I got to know of, in which all we had to do was sub­mit a card

Happy Holi!

What more to say? It’s not like I’m really get­ting to play Holi (despite the fact that it’s just the Math exam on Sat­ur­day… ) [ratings]

Some more Spectrums, and random stuff

Like it? This might be some of the last abstract stuff I put up on my blog. This is def­i­nitely the LAST post I’m mak­ing on this sticky piece of shit, which tem­porar­ily I had jus­ti­fied stick­ing to, called Blog­ger. Till the time, I get my own domain, my brother offered a nice alter­na­tive of
