In his report from last week’s MacHack convention, Andy Ihnatko teases me with the uncovering of a hacked together two button Mac mouse. I need scematics. I need pinouts. Yes, I know I can buy one from a third party, but that’s not the point. I need to do this.

Oh sure, right after I give creativepro.com a whack up the side of the head with the backhanded complement stick, I find this article on their site. The Man Who Launched 1,000 Fonts is an interesting backgrounder on Colin Brignall, the driving force behind typeface development at Letraset and International Typeface Corporation for the past … More
