Back in 2000

Rather randomly today, I remembered that I designed some fonts and put them on the web (on a free host, of course). That was 12 years ago.

This is how the site looked back then, via the Wayback machine.

How ‘Mad Men’ Landed The Beatles

This week’s Mad Men scene where Don sat down to listen to the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows” was brilliant. The New York Times has some background information.

How ‘Mad Men’ Landed The Beatles: All You Need Is Love (and $250,000) – NYTimes.com

To watch the opening race of the 2012 F1 season, I had to set up a VPN connection to a server in Italy (for Rai’s live TV feed), and a virtual machine running another VPN connection to the UK (for BBC Radio’s audio commentary). The VPN service only costs $10 a month, but I’ll pay 4 times that to get a proper legal direct feed, if anyone will sell it to me.

Reblogged from Michel Kichka:

C'est en 1966 au collège, que je découvre Pilote. Jusque là j'étais un fervent de Spirou qui m'offrait des rendez-vous hebdomadaires avec Gaston, Spirou et Fantasio, Lucky Luke, Johan et Pirlouit, Jerry Spring, Gil Jourdan, Boule et Bill et compagnie. Pilote m'offrit Blueberry, Astérix, les Dingodossiers, le grand Duduche, puis Reiser, Brétécher, Mandryka et compagnie. Autant dire que je baignais dans l'âge d'or de la BD franco-belge.
