It's approaching this blog's third birthday and, as is usual when anniversaries roll around, I like to give a bit of thought to how I can add new topics or themes, or otherwise rearrange the furniture. As it happens, the actual date of this next birthday (22nd November) coincides with the trip that Mike has planned as a result of his winning the competition.
Yes, on 22 November Mike and his Missus will be hopping aboard the Eurostar for their own little break. Rather rashly, I fear (and perhaps without Mrs Reed's knowledge), Mike has offered to report back here (that's right: right on this blog) about the experience. And he's going to be seeking your help in tracking down some of the lesser-known delights that Paris has to offer. So, more about this closer to the time. But certainly something to look forward to, don't you think?
Before then I'm planning to launch a little shop, right here in the top right-hand corner (it's why I swapped left to right and right to left). So you can buy some lovely things, carefully selected by yours truly, and all handmade - and all at the touch of a button. I'm busy writing out the sales tickets even as I type. And once I'm happy that the kerning's right and the H&Js are behaving themselves I'll be ready to go. I'm hoping that will be next week (well, last week I was hoping it would be this week - but, hey, it has to be right, doesn't it?).
Next up is that it really is time that I got my '52 fonts you could use instead of Helvetica' series in order. That was something that I intended to do last December: sort them in a way that the 52 fonts could be read from A-Z in one go. So that's something I really have to get done by the 22 November deadline. Perhaps you should nag me about it.
And finally, what about you? Is there anything that you'd really like to see here? Drop me a line - david(at)studiohyde.com - if you think there's something missing.
