I love the fact that the new president of the United States is, like many of us here, something of a geek. | ||

Superb. I love The Onion. It's their loving attention to detail that really gets me. I still treasure the memory of their report on the 46th Annual Font Awards (or 'Fontys') in Pittsburgh, where typesetters and graphic designers from all over the world gathered to celebrate outstanding achievement and innovation in font use. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the much-coveted Font of the Year Award, which was won by Times New Roman for the 46th successive year.  | ||
