Thanks, Tom - our shirt-shaped tapestries came out fully functional, so Sarah & I went as dalek & hugbot on the trip down to Kaua'i, simultaneously confusing & cheesing-out fellow travelers. |

Tom - thanks for being the awesomest groomsman ever. The bachelor party was way better than I imagined bachelor parties could be, having never been to one except ficticiously. Now I have a night I can look back on with fond memories, forever. Thanks!
> (and I made Sarah cry, but that is easy)
You don't know the half of it. Sarah told me a couple times that evening that she was "holding it in" - trying not to get too teary. Later that night, while comparing notes & reminiscing over all the details of the day, it was when we got to your speech that the dam finally broke. Seriously, though - touching! And well done! And, we should really do another one of those road trips.
And what am I doing with my hands in that photo? |

Since it's been over a year, I am suspecting this logo drive has been unofficially terminated. I think that's kinda sad. I did spend many hours making these! |

Andrew: You are not the only one to suggest this! I don't think I really look like him, though, so I'd need to put on a star trek uniform. I'm not comfortable with that. |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I have to again reiterate what everyone else has said. Thank God I'm not alone! A few months ago we had a little bright yellow mushroom growing out of the ledge under the window in the shower. Our apt. is very old and the bathroom does not have good ventilation so we were not surprised, but this morning I noticed a HUGE one growing out of the crack where the ledge meets the window. It is disgusting and I can't tell you how much this freaked me out, especially since we live in Southern California where things are relatively dry. We used a pile of salt on these nasty little guys and it works. I would suggest pouring salt where ever there is a problem to help them from coming up again. EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!! |

This is not a bad score. Go to college and have fun, I guess. Wait, did they change it so that the maximum is 2000 or something? I don't know what I'm talking about, in that case. |

I think you should pronounce it PlaidCadollarh.
The dollar sign is much abused; my favorites are things like "$10 bucks" (ten dollars bucks) and "Make some $$$" (make some dollar dollar dollar). |

Sebastian, I don't think you understand the DMCA or my argument that embed does not violate it. I suggest reading the law (http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/17usc1201.htm) and making your argument in terms of that. For example, you say that manually changing these flags would be legal, but the very act of circumvention is in fact illegal, just as trafficking in circumvention devices is. The DMCA is a dumb law, but spreading misinformation about it makes the situation even worse.
My best argument that embed is not a circumvention device (other than the ones about embedding bits not being real "technological measures", which I think are pretty strong) is that circumvention only occurs when it is done without the authority of the copyright holder. Since embed was primarily designed for the purpose of changing MY OWN fonts, that is clearly done with the authority of the copyright owner, and since this problem is more widespread than merely my own fonts (due in part to a bug in some versions of Fontographer), there exists a substantial non-infringing use. Such devices are not circumvention devices under the DMCA.

On the contrary, I'm looking forward to more levels from you, K! |

Anon: Yes, but I think you mean "trademark."
Andrew: I'd recommend flash, since you don't need to do hardly any graphics programming, but then again, you have to program in actionscript. |

"Tower of Goo" is pretty sweet. |

i have an suggestion:
Do an block in the embed tool that dont allow embed changing on fonts you dont have created.
Then have some sort of an "authorization list", where people submits screenshots of their fonts when they are open in the font list, and if you admit that fonts with that tag is created by the person submitting, he is added to the authorization list. This authorization list is updated every month via internet.
This will make embed an legal tool, since it CANNOT then be used to violate copyrights. |

Embed violates DMCA.
case:
Even renaming a copyrighted picture from .jpg to .gif, that is an copy protection. Making a tool that renames these files from .gif to .jpg it is an violation of DMCA.
No matter how simply the copy protection is to break. The copy protection has a legally power since it is an authorization flag.
And no matter how small a program is. It can be one character, and if it is able to circumvent the EASIEST copy protection, its illegal against DMCA.
But descrambling/decrypting/changing flags is not illegal if you do it manually. Because of that, Windows is not that type of tool, like the FontGrapher is not a violation of DMCA.
But embed is able to do it on hundreds of files in no time. Its serves an automatic tool to circumvent a copy protection, even if the copy protection is a "silly flag".
(Its like you are walking in to the door saying "staff only", even if the door is unlocked, you do something illegal when entering the staff room without authorization)
Its enough with an SIGN to have legal power in the real world.
But not in computer world. Its too many newbies out there that can break the law by a mistake. So the DMCA has stated that it must be some sort of protection. An "embed flag" is an protection, since the windows and MS-word is reading that flag like it was an sign, and prohibits automatic copying preformed when saving a .doc file.
(the copy flag is like an sign: "COPYING FORBIDDEN?" YES/NO)
If the sign says "YES" (an one) its illegal to make a tool that is able to change the sign's text to "NO".) |

I saw some kind of "24-hour game contest", too. I'd be vaguely interested in kicking out a small game like this (not in a competition, just on my own), but I have 0 graphics knowledge. So oh well. |
