Handwriting Tips Penmanship (forget cursive) - http://www.nytimes.com/interac...
Marco Fabbri, Tyson Key, Jérôme Flipo and 39 other people liked this
"The Palmer method and subsequent 20th-century methods were based on an ornate style that was difficult to learn and broke down under pressure. The loops and curlicues of Palmer and other similar methods obscure legibility. For good reason, one rarely finds looped cursive in print media or computer fonts. ... But there is hope. We can stop mumbling on the page and become legible writers by turning to a style that existed long before Palmer rendered our world illegible. We can embrace letterforms born in the Italian Renaissance. We can go italic."
- Paul Buchheit
That's how I write already! I had to change from Palmer to Italic in high school because I didn't have a typewriter (pre-computer era); our papers had to be typed or handwritten in italic.
- Anne Bouey
Nice article. It actually makes me want to grab a piece of that ruled paper to slowly trace out the letters. I find that my handwriting is best when it's all caps. I wonder if I can change that?

I think I might play with this some this weekend. Printable PDF here: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images...

My mother has beautiful penmanship. I even found a book about it last year and gave it to her. Mine was always ok (Can you tell I went to Catholic school yet?) but it started to go awry when I started having to write in Palm PIlot.
- Cathleen Rittereiser
Oddly enough, I've been writing like this for ages. I like joining some letters, but doing so constantly and with loops always seemed strange and ornate.
- Joel Webber
The amazing thing to note in this article is how easy it is to read letters when only the top half of the line is visible (and how impossible it is to read when only the bottom half is visible).

Dear Mrs. Kapomapo. I write you after proper consideration that a telephone conversation may not be an ideal medium to contact you.

It's a link.

Thanks MG, I missed that TC article!
- Veronica
Really, the only part that looks like a pipe bomb is the battery, but it is a strange drawing of a battery.
- Logan Hall
The clock(compass) doesn't help for people who are unfamiliar with the workings of a pipe bomb.

Yes it is Veronica "National Pipe Bomb Day" Now slowly step away from your computer...

it's okay Veronica, you're only required to read mine.

That's not a pipe bomb, its an electromagnet and a compass. Maybe some commentary on 3rd world technology?
- David C. Cooper
Hehehe. It is quite obscure - they really should at least have some sort of explanation for this kinda stuff - if only to stop the images getting them into trouble.
- Amy
Isn't this in the new 3GS?

It looks like your standard electro magnet to me. Perhaps it is michael faraday birthday?

a battery, wire, a nail, powering a clock lol how is that a pipe bomb. Where is the explosive
- MarkRushow
Mark, don't be a smartass. To average people who aren't familiar with electromagnetism and have been fed a steady diet of fear for years, their first impression could easily be "that thing with wires and a stick of dynamite and a clock is a bomb." Not everyone, but some people.

Anyhow, this post was meant to be funny, not social commentary. Strange how these things happen! ;)

This is actually pretty cool, conservation-wise. And Marco, I hear you. It like a negative feedback loop with these licensing agreement outside the U.S. Nobody wants to put the full content of the iTunes U.S. store on the other stores around the world, and you are constantly getting "you can't access this cause you don't live in the U.S. you loser" from online video streams, and it's...
