I like the way Joe did that better than Happy Cog’s. His makes more sense since he’s got so many links on diverse topics to show. Happy Cog’s seems sort of self-indulgent to me but that more because of they way they wrote it (about them not what they can do for the client). And it doesn’t work when you don’t read every word. Joe’s does.

Edit: this was posted before Jason’s comment was released from the moderation queue. So it was a reply to Adam’s post, not Jason’s I would not have responded this way to someone actually involved with the design!

It is impossible these days for a team to fully disclose all the sites that went into the thought process for designing a new site. We all look at thousands of sites a week that each in their own way make a slight impression on us. And the Internet has made us all lazy so it is easier to cite the most prevalent as the origin instead of doing actual research on the history of something. Unfortunately I’m too lazy to look up an example of this.

I am going to have to go looking for some sort of reference on which fonts are availble on different operating systems. A lot of people have been waiting for the ability to specify any font but if you do your research you can get good results just by specifying a lot of possible options.

BTW, the Windows Vista fonts have been in my CSS for a year and a half. Yes, really.
