This is a greeting card I created for RSVP cards last year. It's in a tighter, more rendered style than I've been working in lately, but I like working both ways. The image is digital, done in Painter.
Race numbers from various UK based races
I love thick fat slabs of juicy numberage and Maraid is serving it up big time. Come get some of these vintage fatties here.

I was at a gathering recently, and a little girl (eight or nine years old) was telling my teacher friend Jellyfish about her Steiner primary school.

I've been doing a bit of reading about measurement, and it's surprisingly interesting.The metric system, for instance. Did you know there are only three countries in the world who haven't adopted the metric system? Liberia, Burma and the United States of America. What excellent company the US keeps.Let's take a look at the battle of the measurments, Imperial vs Metric.1 litre of liquid weighs 1 kilo. 78.9382 litres is 78.9382 kilos. This seems sensible.But in America...1 pint of liquid weights 1.0431758 pounds. You want to tell me how much 78.9382 pints weighs without using a calculator?Obviously not the best example of the many benefits of the Imperial measurement system. Let's try distance.There are 1000 millimetres in a metre. 1000 metres in a kilometre.And 12 inches in a foot. And 33/50 feet in a link. And 25 links in a rod. And 4 rods in a chain. And 80 chains in a mile. Totally makes sense.Senator Obama, if you're reading this (which I know you are), you might want to consider a bit of a rethink on the whole measuring-stuff front.

In the post below David D. Perlmutter, a professor in the KU School of Journalism & Mass Communications, and author of Blogwars, refutes the idea that political blog readership is low as reported in the mainstream news. What do you think? Are political blogs affecting this election?
Newspaper headlines, especially describing social surveys, often are matters of “glass half empty or half full” opinion. Here’s a major example of the last couple of weeks: a Harris Interactive survey conducted between January 15 to January 22 of 2,302 adults found that “Just under one-quarter (23%) say that they read them several times a year and just 22 percent of Americans read blogs regularly (several times a month or more).” Almost always when the story was picked up the headline was some version of the way it appeared on the Reuters wire: “Poll: Most Americans don’t read political blogs.” Harris themselves headlined their survey as “More Than Half of Americans Never Read Political Blogs.” (more…)

Some further thoughts about playwriting and "the craft."
There is a lot written by playwrights, playwriting authors and the like regarding form when submitting plays. This is something that has been on my mind since encountering problems numbering the pages of a play. Try as I might/may the computer and/or my latest Explorer version refuses to number the play in Roman and Arabic numerals. Like...life is complicated enough writing a play, period! I wonder if William Shakespere had the same concerns. Doubtful since he used a quill and ink. Wonder what would happen if a/theatres received a play submission written in pen and ink.
Well, one assumes little Steiner girl cubits are somewhat smaller than all those cubits. Thoguh I'm no mathematician.
I have to say I kinda like the way Steiner teaches through the history of human thought. Like the way they learn to write is through pictographs. I guess she'll meet a cm one day.
p.s. I love your measurement series.
