September 09: Random whatnots + Arnold lookalike #5
From Signs that you are becoming a geek:
[snip] #1. If you someday have kids, you want to name them after your favorite fonts.
Hmmm ...Arial, Desdemona, Chancery, or Verdana can be carried off stylishly, I think. Can't say the same for Helvetica, Courier, or *shudder* Dingbat, though.
What font name/s would you consider, if ever?

These yummy-looking thingamajigs are actually blank CDR sets that can be ordered via 5inch.com. Nice, huh? I wouldn't have known about them if Zoorex didn't give Arn and me samples (hi Zoo!). They're affordable at $7.50 a set though of course that amount doesn't cover shipping to 3rd World destinations, heh.
*Speaking of 3rd World, Mona has a funny entry about how we Pinoys are made of "sterner stuff", considering that we have to live through conditions people in the 1st world will probably never even experience. (Claire Danes was a rare case.)
*** Funny. Halina told me that J said that Arnold looks like the lead guy in Bootmen. I didn't see that movie so naturally, I googled and came up with this:
My brother and I always tease Arn that he looks like John Travolta, and yeah, this guy does kinda look like him too, haha.

Hi Cyn! I saw the same nifty CD-Rs (and more) in CD-R King at Glorietta 4. (well between G4 and G3). They were being sold for 10 pesos each I think.

Gig: Kamukha ano? I think it's the eys and the lower half of the face.
Jo: Yeps those cdrs are super nice looking! Zoo gave us 2 designs -- a mirrorball and a spinning DJ (:
Luis: Hahaha! I knew you'd react to the font entry, Mr. Mac Doctor!

Font names for kid names? Cyn, you are a certfied geek. Hmmm... Geneva ha? (hehe), Georgia, Shelley, Paris, Jacoby, Farrier, and even Rubino. Who needs those baby name books when you can just rifle through your font suitcase list no? But you're right, Dingbat should be avoided like the plague, as well as Hobo, Serpentine, Burweed and Urkle. ;-)
