A l'école, on apprend à lire, à écrire, on apprend une ou plusieurs langues étrangères. Pourtant, à l'heure du numérique, il pourrait être utile de connaître les polices d'écriture. Si c'était une discipline reconnue, cette petite fille de seulement deux ans serait une experte en la matière. Suivez Gizmodo sur les réseaux sociaux ! Elle s’appelle Scarlett, elle n’a que deux ans, donc, et elle est capable, en un coup d’œil, d’identifier la police avec laquelle est écrit un texte, que dis-je, seulement deux mots ! Inutile, idiot, abrutissant, honteux, étonnant, impressionnant, etc. Impressionnant, vraiment !
The Egg The Egg By: Andy Weir You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. And that’s when you met me. “What… what happened?” “You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. “There was a… a truck and it was skidding…” “Yup,” I said. “I… I died?” “Yup. You looked around. “More or less,” I said. “Are you god?” “Yup,” I replied. “My kids… my wife,” you said. “What about them?” “Will they be all right?” “That’s what I like to see,” I said. You looked at me with fascination. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Oh,” you said. “Neither,” I said. “Ah,” you said. “All religions are right in their own way,” I said. You followed along as we strode through the void. “Nowhere in particular,” I said. “So what’s the point, then?” “Not so!” I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. “How many times have I been reincarnated, then?” “Oh lots. “Wait, what?” “Well, I guess technically. “Sure.
How Bill Nye Became The Science Guy. And A Ballet Shoe Inventor. And a Political Voice When Bill Nye tells a story about getting hit in the head, he stops to remind you about inertia, “a property of matter.” He’ll ask you how many electric switches are in your iPhone and casually chat about SpaceShipOne. It seems as though Nye were born to play the role for which he is best known: “the science guy,” an amusing, bow-tie-wearing teacher with an entertaining experiment to go with every scientific phenomena. But his career trajectory reads much more like a delicate string of happenstance than a born destiny. But listen for a fair length of time to Nye talk about his string of happy accidents, and you'll realize he's wired for disruption--personal and otherwise. Nye has a knack for embracing chance opportunities. A video clip of an interview Nye gave in February went viral this month, attracting more than 4.6 million views (at the time of this post) and national media attention. His reaction: “Bring it on, as we say." You did work on airplanes for a while. Was it that bad? It was.

Solar Toothbrush, No Water Or Toothpaste Required This toothbrush works through an ingenious, water and energy-saving, eco-friendly photochemical reaction. Canadian scientists have come up with something that uses solar energy to clean your teeth. The Soladey-J3X solar toothbrush works through an ingenious, water and energy-saving, eco-friendly photochemical reaction. And you don’t need toothpaste to use it! Dr Kunio Komiyama , a University of Saskatchewan dentistry professor designed the first solar toothbrush about 15 years ago. The toothbrush has a solar panel at its base that transmits electrons through a lead wire in the top of the mechanism. No doubt this device will be popular with oversleeping students everywhere. Poor dental hygiene has been linked to a decline in overall health of individuals, as well as many systemic diseases. I don’t know yet who would pay for such a scheme, but it’s something to think about. digg
Review of Popular Web Font Embedding Services Advertisement In the mid-80s the desktop publishing revolution began with the introduction of the Mac Plus, Aldus PageMaker and the Apple LaserWriter printer. It took quite a few years for these tools to make an impact on the design and publishing world, but once they did, there was no looking back. In 2010 we see a similar revolution starting to take shape with web fonts. Even though @font-face was introduced in the CSS2 spec in 1998, it wasn’t until this past year that all in-use web browsers added support for it.

Web font services, like Typekit and now the Google Font API, have captured a lot of attention. While all of these services are unique, they each provide a tool for web designers and developers to legally display professional fonts on their website. Typekit Typekit, Inc. is a popular web font service from Small Batch Inc and founder Jeffrey Veen. Webtype
