Random Notes: Typography, Life and Whatnot

dewlineI've Made a little more progress with one of my amateur font design projects this afternoon. I'm not entirely sure how close I am to being done, beyond characterizing it as being "close to halfway". The font in question is a fictional, "constructed" alphabet, with 90+ letter-glyphs, a base-ten number set-up, and a rudimentary punctuation scheme of about a dozen glyphs. It's on my "To Do in 2006" list from New Year's.
On the health front, I got some proper exercise. Two miles, I believe, in the space of about ¾ of an hour. Not bad, but there's room for improvement, whether we speak of time elapsed or distance covered. Good to see the weather getting somewhat closer to spring-like as the days go by as well.
A possibly odd -- perhaps "absurd" is a better descriptive -- sidebar question: Does anyone else ever fixate on the amount of daylight gained as the seasons progress from winter to spring to summer? Checking the weather forecasts daily to see how much more daylight one's neighbourhood gets per diem?
Cultural note: This is Wonderland got some attention from one of the Globe and Mail's columnists today. (Not sure how long the link will remain publicly accessible to non-subscribers, and as a satisfied reader of the paperware edition of that paper, I'd recommend you pick it up!) Interesting points raised, Kate Taylor!
