Colophon

Joshua — Tue, 06 Jul 2004 04:55:55 +0000

Every decent site needs a colophon. This is the part where, like my yearbook, I get to talk about all the fancy fonts and production techniques I used, that will probably receive little understanding to those who do not know what a colophon is in the first place. But hey, I likeâ€™em!

This site is entirely run and operated by [2]Josh Lyman, an aspiring graphic designer who will be enjoying his senior year this year, and hopefully continuing on to Brigham Young University – Provo.
Iâ€™m #15 and #20 on Google for searching “Josh Lyman”… stinking West Wing. Actually, I like the West Wing, Josh is cool, but heâ€™s got a doofy haircut. I own 3 full DVD sets of the seasons. When my name is number 1, I will have a big party, and give something away free on my site.
Font designated for display: Perpetua | Download Perpetua
- Most users do not have this font installed, so you can download Perpetua here and install it. Isnâ€™t this illegal? Well, the license says that the font is allowed to be temporarily embedded on a system, so as long as you uninstall it when you decided never to come back to my site again, you may use it.
podq live is hosted by the highly reliable Equivity Hosting, and I in turn host people upon occasion.
podq live is powered by the incredible open-source project WordPress, currently running version 1.3-alpha5 with several interesting and helpful plugins. The index page is heavily hacked out, but the rest is rather intact. Before WordPress 0.72, there were only SSIâ€™s used to run this site, so the clouds have broken.
On good days, the site validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional, Section 508, CSS, and all that schwah.

This is a copy of the entry I submitted to the [1]Binary Bonsai Gmail competition. I wasnâ€™t allowed to post it before the competition, cuz that wouldnâ€™t be fresh content for Binary Bonsai! But now itâ€™s all over, and I figured Iâ€™d bring it here too.

Graphic Design Brilliance

Joshua — Fri, 26 Mar 2004 16:04:51 +0000

We all need idols to look up to, especially when we only can claim graphic design as a hobby and are still only in high school. And yes, I believe I have found one! Shaun Inman takes a beautiful site design, applies standards-compliancy, and mixes in a pinch of special effects and backwards compatibility.

You have got to check out his site as well as his CSS Zen Garden creation (make sure you have a current good browser, again, like Opera or Firefox). I have to openly admit to almost directly applying some of the concepts from the CSS code to my new experimental style, organic full. And yes, it still is slightly broken as of this post… woops.

Anyways, just thought Iâ€™d let you know of this designer, if anyone else out there is looking for someone to follow, go for this guy! Thanks Shaun!

cleartype

Joshua — Sun, 01 Feb 2004 08:29:41 +0000

so i just enabled microsoft cleartype on my monitor, after having run the microsoft cleartype tuner. it is very interesting. all my text in the os appears much smoother, yet much bolder. iâ€™m trying to decide whether i like it or not.
it looks almost more like a mac os x box, which has a cleartype-related technology of itâ€™s own. cleartype was made specifically for lcd monitors, but says it is also for use on crtâ€™s, which is what i am running. because it was developed in conjuction with adobe, i feel okay about it, but the fact that everything is bolder just has me a little worried. if you do turn on cleartype, i highly suggest you run the tuner at the link above, otherwise, your text may appear very, um, â€?colorfulâ€?.
anybody else have any opinions on cleartype? benefits, doubts, etc.? let me know, comment on.
