As @afocs was recording her voicemail name I shouted MONGATRON. We thought it was funny as it’s only heard by her when she calls her voicemail, not played to anyone else. Never considered that her voicemail might break. And the tech might have to leave test messages and check them.
Last 20 minutes has been spent giggling like school girls every-time the tech called Becky’s (MONGATRON) voicemail on speaker phone.

Pick me a font (or 4)
I need a large headline font, a secondary headline, a main body copy and an aside.
I would quite like a serif font for the headline(s) which looks good in huge sizes. Maybe something like Georgia? Really like thin fonts, but not going to rule any out or even a chunky font which looks good in letterpress? Secondary headline can be same typeface as large in smaller size, without bold, or can be completely different, but should work well together. Again am thinking serif?
Body copy I would like sans-serif but am open to ideas as long as compliments the headline font(s). Aside should be very different, perhaps even Mono? Will be for stats or technical information, not adverse to a sans rather than Monospace, as long as it looks slightly technical and contrasts well with the others :)
What would be your suggestions? If you can pick typefaces which are available via Google fonts, Typekit or Squirrel fonts I will love you forever.
This is fluffy.
I suck at picking fonts. I wish there was a site which could recommend fonts based upon some input. I don’t mean the usual serif/sans/slab type choices, more like:
headline, straight serifs, thin, classy, professional, timeless
and it would spit out the perfect headline font which matches all my requirements, as well as recommending complimentary fonts for other common text (body copy, block-quotes, secondary headlines, etc). Ideally it would create your complete CSS stack with sane substitutes for non-websafe fonts and integrate with Typekit or similar.
At present I am having to make do with:

Game of Thrones Violin Cover (by JasonYangViolin)
Rugby, scuffles & general rambunctiousness growing up means I’ve broken, fractured, staved or sprained every finger, some fingers all four. Most were fixed by taping it to its nearest neighbour for a couple of days.
The last few days the joints in my right hand have been aching and I’ve been finding it hard to grip things tightly. I wonder if there is a connection…
Republican media strategist Roger Ailes launched Fox News Channel in 1996, ostensibly as a “fair and balanced” counterpoint to what he regarded as the liberal establishment media. But according to a remarkable document buried deep within the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, the intellectual forerunner for Fox News was a nakedly partisan 1970 plot by Ailes and other Nixon aides to circumvent the “prejudices of network news” and deliver “pro-administration” stories to heartland television viewers.
Oh, manipulated FOX News viewers … you’re so stupid, you don’t even realize how stupid you are.
EXTERMI-BAKE!
Carving the Mountains
This….is….amazeballs. Check out this group of girls as they longboard through the mountains of Madrid. A perfectly shot video combined with lovely music and subjects. Makes me want to get a new longboard asap! (Which probably means I need to find a road like that too.)
