STAR WARS The magazine's interview with the film-maker and a great photo portfolio, including the original stars (my gosh, they've gotten old. Oh yeah, that's right; I was a kid then).

Like 99.9% of technical writers out there, I use Arial as my primary font. Today I received a document in Helvetica, which I haven't seen for years. Just for fun I googled it and found out there is a fierce anger in the typographic world over the fact that Arial is a knock-off (and a bad one at that). This is also thanks to MSFT, since Windows chose to adopt Arial and Apple chose Helvetica, and Windows won. Of course only professionals can tell the difference. But that's the whole point, isn't it?
