Nanette is Font of the Day This is swell. It's nice to see my font on the front page of MyFonts.com. 'James Paul' was featured several months ago. I'm happy my creations are getting attention. I really worked hard on Nanette. It includes Cyrillic (Russian and Slavic languages), modern Greek and dozens of alternates for the Latin set. Labels: type

Job hunting, etc. Next week Wednesday I have a interview at a treatment center. I really want this. I've been telling some friends about this interview and this morning I forwarded the want ad to a couple of them. I don't know if that's a good idea. I mean, they have more work experience than I do and I don't want to lose this opportunity to them. It's a 'psych nursing' (mental health patients) position too and it's just the kind of nursing I want to practice in. I don't want to bring up the results of my job hunts without sharing them with my colleagues but at the same time I don't want more competition than I already have. I'd just keep silent about these things. It's not mean. It's just what I need to do to get what I want. Right? Chinese violin. (You might want to skip this. You won't understand it if you don't play violin.) I was getting frustrated with the erhu because the notes seemed to be moving around on me. I did ask around the message boards so I could trouble shoot it but I got too impatient so I decided to change the bridge, strings, qianjin and rosined the bow. I don't know how I could have isolated the culprit anyway. If I changed the strings only they would have to be broken in and if the problem persisted with the new strings, would I then have to reinstall the old strings and restart the troubleshooting with another component? It's just too much work. Had I started the troubleshooting with the qianjin and the problem remained, how would I retie the qianjin to restart the troubleshooting? Maybe I'm missing something here but since I've changed these parts all at once the violin plays fine and the notes are in the same places even after retuning the strings. Fingers crossed. Years 1 and 2 of yakap.org. Here are the links to the web album containing files from years 1 and 2 of my blog in case you want to see them for whatever reason. My fonts are actually selling really well. I can't believe it. Every time I get a check in the mail I am so surprised. Did you know that I bought my Chinese violin from 2 months of sales? That's just so unbelievable to me. I'm just sitting here and I get allowance, hehe. The morning show on the Philippine TV Umagang Kay Ganda changed their logo recently and one of the words is set in my font. There is a PC game that uses my font in the logo and in-game graphics. It's a puzzle adventure called AnaCapri The Dream. Click here to view the trailer. Also, the freeware AlanisHand, which I made from Alanis Morissette's handwriting is in use on her official site vlogs. Even though I didn't design the letterforms, (I only handpicked them from half a dozen scanned samples) that's still cool! I cooked bulgogi for dinner. Ate it with rice and kimchi. I might attend Korean mass on Sunday with Kim Ju. We'll see. Yes, I still study Korean, very, very slowly. Tomorrow I have CPR class. G'night kids!
I saw this fake cake at an indoor swap meet this past weekend. That's my font on the label. Sweet!
I attended career fairs on Tuesday and Wednesday. I wore long sleeved 'grandpa' shirt on Tuesday and borrowed Kokuyali's striped blue dress shirt. I didn't get interviewed. They said there weren't openings for new graduate nurses. Nice.
