What sort of work do you do? I was lucky to be able to travel with my job. Lots of overseas conferences and invitations to talk here and there. I too enjoyed Europe a lot. I've been to 49 of the states: can you guess which one I haven't? cheers

I really liked Slovenia. It was part of a 3 month 12 country tour my wife and I did during my sabbatical year. I've been living in a rather plain and boring town in Western PA now. A good reason to travel!

His thing on the history of fonts (www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVfR...) is informative and entertaining. I was just introduced to his work this morning. I've even done some academic work sorta related to the topic, and found nothing to quibble with (a rarity for us academics!). bsky.app/profile/ddai...

𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔! But pasting italicized text from a word-processor doesn't work. Are they using some Unicode symbols for italicized letters? Thanks for the tip.
