Arlt Named after Argentinean writer Roberto Arlt, Arlt is the latest literary face from PampaType. An expressive family, Arlt takes full advantage of the OpenType format with its many alternates and sub families. Deco’s wonderful details and Titulo’s organic forms are uniquely diverse. True to namesake, Arlt is evocative and unexpected — and perfect for setting texts that evoke those qualities.

Huckleberries and Bears: 1939 Marital Rating Scale | Wife and Husband Charts External link
I came across this hilarious (or totally wrong.. depending on how you view it) Marital Rating Scale on boingboing. I painstakingly typed out the Wife’s chart for anyone interested in seeing where they or their wife ranks according to George W. Crane, MD. I copied from the scanned booklet that Tiabla posted on flickr. I also copied the Husband version, if you’re interested. I haven’t rated myself yet… but I’m sure my score will not be high. I’ll let you know my answers when they’re done.

Nikko R2-D2 projector to go on sale: Beep boop woooo - Crave at CNET.co.uk External link
The ‘eye’ bit at the top is the lens for a projector which, we’re told, can put out an image measuring 260 inches diagonally at 2,000 lumens. There’s a DVD player inside for watching movies along with memory card slots for displaying pics. There’s even an iPod dock, because no self-respecting do-it-all robot would be complete without one in the 21st century. There’s also an FM broadcast function, so you can send the music from your iPod dock to your hi-fi. You can move it forwards and make him do a 360 degree turn, so expect to see plenty of dancing Artoos on YouTube.

Color + Design Blog / Hearing Color: Neil Harbisson, Cyborg by COLOURlovers Neil Harbisson suffers from achromatopsia – or complete congenital color blindness, and until meeting Adam Montandon, a cybernetics expert who was giving a speech at the art school which he was attending at the time, he only painted in black and white. Montandon had the idea of creating a way to harness the frequencies at which different colors reflects light; violet vibrating at fastest rate, red the slowest.
