You can actually see some subtle kerning in action in the PALGN logo. Have a look at the P and the A. On the other hand, the long base on the L pushes the G too far away, and creates a slight visual disconnect that could be fixed by tracking them tighter.

Re: Coffee (1 year ago)
I only just noticed this thread!
I recently did a coffee appreciation course and was pleased to find that almost everything I knew about making coffee was wrong. After six hours I can now tame my espresso machine and make a mean brew.
Generally you want an extraction of 30 mls over 30 seconds and milk around 70 degrees. If you can nail this magic combination you'll get the crema from the coffee to bond with the fat molecules in the milk for a beautifully sweet sugar-free coffee. Whenever I'm asked if I want sugar I respond:
"Not if you do it right"
The most delightful hipster afternoon coffee to ask for is a macchiotoni. Cousin of the piccolo latte - its a flat white in a short glass.
Want one in Adelaide: hit The Coffee Branch on Leigh St.
The instant coffee culture is imbued by the entire generation of tasteless baby boomers. For this reason I don't drink coffee or discuss art or my dreams with my parents. Loathing wells forth when anyone asks for a hot coffee with 2 sugars. Usually it's overheard, but once a girl I was courting asked for one. The coffee was hot but I was lukewarm and bitter. The prevalence of such a culture instills me with fear whenever I order coffee in the suburbs.

Heard about this offer this morning. Love it. Amusing that people still think that driving high is dangerous. It's actually the safest way to drive*.

Politicians should get paid more - It will attract smart people to the job. Why run the country when you can run BHP and get paid bazillions.

While I realise it probably was a pretty weird thing to say, it just goes to show how you can perceive the same situation in a completely different way. Here I was thinking that we were special crosswalk friends have a shared experience. Instead i proved myself to be the strange one!

Re: What really ticks you off? (1 year ago)
I'm riding home and there he is. The buck toothed bike rider with the bowl helmet. He's a strange creature for sure, and I see him most days. Its always at the same set of lights, we always arrive at the same moment. This is the first time I've seen him after work, today we will pass in the other direction. I wish to acknowledge this shared experience, and so when the lights go green and we transgress I say:
"You are my ship in the night"
He looks at me like I'm on fire, a fire he has never seen before in his life, his brow curls perplexed.
I saw him again this morning, embarrassed I looked down, he didn't look at me, he didn't recognise me, we just passed.
Like ships in the night.

Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. (1 year ago)
A thief runs up to me... well straight past me up to the top of a hill. He then turns to face a me thats not there.
A dialogue box appears.
"Hand over your valuables"
Because he's up there and I'm down here i politely tell him to f*ck off.
That moment wolves jump out of the bushes and attack him.
lol, I'll just be on my merry way!

Re: Mario Kart 7 Preview (1 year ago)
If there's an associated player perk that would be so cool - e.g. lakitu gets double speed increase from coins.
There has to be a better way to even the field than 3 flying blue shells in a row.

Re: Mario Kart 7 Preview (1 year ago)
I hope the new kart construction glider/submarine sections balance the field rather that polarise it. With mario Kart Wii the only stat that mattered was top speed, with native riders on a clutch of bikes being able to blitz the field universally. Any racer should be able to win by racing to their strengths.
Re: What made you smile today? (1 year ago)
When I was in grade 3 I had a certain book on permanent loan from the school library.
It told a story of a boy who's ant farm was eaten by a frog. It detailed how to make an ant farm and how to catch ants. It made it sound easy. I made my ant farm and in the two decades since I have come perilously close to populating it. Once letting a queen slip between my fingers because I was too busy thanking God for his provision. Its become a symbol that haunts my dreams, the formicary - the hive mind is my spirit animal. Most recently I dreamed about honey ants - handing one to my friend and watching them savour the sweet nectar then going to bite mine only for it to explode in my face. For those that can't read the language of the archetype - this was a message about me not living my destiny.
Six months ago I found inspiration and built an ant farm shaped like a skull - re-using the pieces of glass I had first paid for with my meagre allowance.
Döpp! What the fuck is this about? Get on with it!
Thursday last week I plopped myself down on the couch and burst into tears. It was the beginning of a carthesis that lasted all weekend. About a month ago I split with the girl I'd been seeing. I was mourning that, but also had been in mourning for myself, trying to grow from the experience to reasserting my being in the world. It was time to be reborn.
Against the tableaux of the Vernal Equinox much merrymaking was had. A sweet rabbit glazed with kumquat and served as our feast. I transplanted the symbol from Easter in protest of our topsy-turvey seasonal traditions.
After dinner I drew a circle in the dirt. Manning the stations of the cardinal points my brethren became elemental priests brandishing Salt of the Earth, Incense of Air, Water and Fire. I read from Jung's Seven sermons of the dead:
God lives behind the sun; the devil lives behind the night.
What god brings into birth from the light, that devil pulls into the night.
Abraxas, however, is the cosmos; its genesis and its dissolution.
To every gift of God-the-Sun, the devil adds his curse.
As the earth welcomes new life and new beginnings,
so can we be reborn.
The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world.
Who would be born must destroy a world. The bird flies to God.
That God's name is Abraxas.
That last bit is from Demian by Hermann Hesse, anime freaks may recognise it as paraphrased in Utena.
We each were reborn, throwing off robes of darkness to emerge into the light of a crackling fire. My husk of yesteryear forsaken, it's job rot and broken heart abandoned.
Saturday I faced the world anew - preparing to mow the winter's last lawn I overturned a broken shovel blade. Against the hot steel was a nest of green ants replete with larvae and eggs. It was an omen.
It made me smile.

Re: What made you smile today? (1 year ago)
My anti-videogame girlfriend actually requested I bring Guitar Hero (sic: Rock Band) over her place to play. We had a session on the weekend during which I blistered my thumb! My delight is obviously immense but I swore - about ten years ago - I'd never take another game system anywhere for anyone ever again. I've spent enough time behind the TV for one lifetime, and do not fancy dying of starvation ensnared in the tangle, a sentiment I hope you all can appreciate.
Still, there's hope!

Okay. So I tried to watch this. Amazing spectacle... but the dialogue... Not even the promise of tits could get me through the first episode...
Does the script get any less drab as it progresses?
