Fonts as puzzles: Can you solve them?
A font created by Erik and Martin Demaine. The Demaines, a father-and-son team of “algorithmic typographers,” have confected an entire suite of mathematically inspired typefaces. Erik Demaine, Martin Demaine and Katie Steckles via The New York Times.

.- The verb “puzzle” — to perplex or confuse, bewilder or bemuse — is of unknown origin. “That kind of fits,” said Martin Demaine, an artist-in-residence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “It’s a puzzle where the word ‘puzzle’ comes from.”

.- It’s hard to imagine Florence, cradle of the High Renaissance of early modern Europe, without its avaricious, venal, culture-conscious first family, the Medicis. Crowned and uncrowned, during periods of supposedly republican government and not, they largely ruled the city-state, or connived to, from the mid-14th to the mid-18th centuries, using art to cement their power.

My son Daniel had his fourth birthday a couple weeks ago. For a present, he got an electric train set. (For completeness and since the details of the train set will be rather important to the post it’s called “WESPREX Create a Dinosaur Track”, but this is not an ad and I’m not getting a kickback for it.)
