East to West, West to East
The Central and Eastern European strand has provided a rich element of this year’s conference. I even enjoyed snippets of talks that I arrived at just as they overran, but in no case was that extra time wasted.

What the Wiki?
Dateline - July, Niko Hotel, San Francisco, CA, USA. A crowd, maybe thirty of forty strong, of movers and shakers from the world of fonts gathered in a small room during TypeCon 2004. The subject, standardizing the EULA and making it ‘machine readable’ – an impossible goal?

Additionally, John Hudson tells us that in a former life he was ‘sheet metal percussionist for Puke Theater’. A fine chat-up line.

Spirited design(ers)
There was pretty much a full-house for Rick Poynor’s opening speech last night. Tired though we all were, he managed to stir us up with his somewhat controversial take on the role of the designer and the need to infuse a new spirit in Central European design.

The optimism of early morning
8.45am after the art shool party is not a great time to deal with the optimism of modernity, but a surprising number of delegates came to listen to Paul Stiff outline the influence of emigré designers on post-war UK design.

Preaching to the unencoded.
For me three Track 2 talks on Saturday held a common thread. Johannes Bergerhausen’s talk in decoding Unicode, Mark Barratt’s chat on repurposing content, and Victor Gaultney and Adam Twardoch’s double act covering the design of Central European diacritics.

Cyrus even better the second time
Having been extremely impressed with CH’s talk at TypeCon San Francisco I hauled my sorry hung-over arse out of bed at the crack of dawn, dodging pick-pockets on the tram, in order to get a front row seat for the talk.
