  • Tried to tell Husband that I have successfully shortened the legs of my jeans, but actually said "I have made bigger space at the bottom of the leg sleeves." I think it's bedtime.

  • 3 pieces of calligraphic lettering, commissioned by the kind Alistair at Monolith Type Co.

  • @DunwichType Cheers mate!

  • First glance at an upcoming typeface named “Roots”. I will go deeper into the concept some other day. The display styles (shown here) are sometimes inspired by, sometimes directly taken from, book cover lettering by Helmut Salden. Salden was named “The Face of the Dutch Book”, and drew some of the most perfect letterforms that I’ve ever seen.

  • New release: Arny and Arny Sans, my take on the quintessential Art Nouveau typeface, Arnold Böcklin. Take a closer look on my all-new website, herzbergdesign.com Free, full feature trials and student discounts available. #advertisement

  • ANOTHER release: ✨Alas✨ Alas is a new take on blackletter, a thousand-year old genre that can still prove refreshing. It mixes refined calligraphic elegance with psychedelic twists, like bottom-heavy letterforms and seemingly liquid swashes. Alas pushes boundaries: of the established type corpus, and of my own skill, in an attempt to make something that feels sincerely new. There’s a select group of designers out there who can wield a font like Alas, and hoist it to a higher plain of being. Ar...

  • At 12:53am on Monday I googled for "36 hours from now" because I'm tired and wanted a quick answer. That's not how it went. Gemini said: "36 hours from now will be Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 12:53 AM." What? No it's not. I asked for clarification and got: "Ah, you are completely right—my apologies! I made a mistake in my arithmetic. 36 hours from now will actually be Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 12:54 PM (midday).&amp...

  • "Here is the correct breakdown: Adding 24 hours takes us to Monday afternoon at 12:54 PM. Adding the remaining 12 hours takes us to Tuesday at 12:54 AM." ...wait WHAT? "You are completely correct, and I completely fumbled the explanation. Thank you for patience with me! 36 hours from now is indeed Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 12:56 PM, and your breakdown is exactly how it works. I appreciate you laying it out clearly for me." Gee, I'm so glad I...

  • Happy retirement, Lonnie! It was a joy to meet him at ICOM 2019 in Kyoto, and his book "A Fool's Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush, Obama, and Trump" was a huge help to me as the director of the National Deaf Life Museum. I have long dreamed of growing up to be as cool as Lonnie Bunch, and I hope when I retire I leave behind as stellar a legacy as he did.

  • I would ask if Terminal 2F at CDG is always such a hot mess, but I feel like I already know the answer is yes

  • I finally set up a now page. https://www.meredithperuzzi.com/now/ It's based on an idea from @d and lots of other people do it too: https://nownownow.com

  • I was in Berlin over the weekend - got home last night - and visited Sachsenhausen. This morning my partner asked "what was something historic that you saw?" It took just a beat for me to say "the ovens." The first one, you can only see through a slit in a wall. The later ones, at Station Z, are almost intact. Sachsenhausen lets you cut flowers from a small garden for a small donation, to leave in remembrance. Not me though. I just left a visitation stone.

  • In 2022, I presented at a conference. Somehow, a Happy Science practitioner also got a slot, although she didn't present on what she said she would present. She presented on Happy Science. I just got ANOTHER email from her. I thought she gave it up in 2023, but no, she's still at it. Cultists really don't stop.

  • Nerd win: I got my new X4 Pro (running CrossInk) talking to my self hosted Calibre-Web NextGen so it can access all my books via OPDS and updates progress with via KOsync with my phone (using Readest).

  • "The Man of Tomorrow, himself an immigrant, fights a robed white supremacist who has been terrorizing the Lees, a Chinese American family. When the Grand Scorpion sneers at him 'The Lees aren't "your own!" You share no blood with them! No history!' Superman responds, 'We are bound together by the future. We all share the same tomorrow.'" From "Superman Smashes the Klan," quoted in "Speculative...

  • There's an ad in this coffee shop - "Are you lesbian, nonbinary, or bi? Come dance with us! Sapphic dance party for WLW." I'm not sure who's more confused, me or them.

  • The fact that the world's second-largest economy is actually a Global South country is fascinating.

  • Well I got ALMOST three hours of work done on my PhD before some powerful chemical smell arrived and I had to call emergency services. Definitely not getting any work done now...
