  And every year, I think of the novels he could’ve written, the brilliant speeches he would’ve given , and I miss him a little more each time.

  Lovely and adequate use of American Typewriter.
  Some time ago you said you were considering to change from sIFR to Cúfon. Are you keeping sIFR after all?

  @ Paulo Pereira :

  Some time ago you said you were considering to change from sIFR to Cúfon. Are you keeping sIFR after all?

  I’d still love to do it, I just haven’t had time. I have sIFR working well enough, so whenever I have spare time I usually like to write or post something. I’ll probably get to it at some point :)

  Happy and sad memories about one of my most favourite authors of all time.

  One of my favorite quotes. I had actually forgot whose it was. Glad to be reminded.

  Favourite. Person. Ever.

  Great quote. I’ve always said I love deadlines because of the enormous pressure it generates, and the relief one gets when it’s gone. It just makes you feel good.

  When Douglas Adams passed away, it was the first time a celebrity death impacted me. In fact, outside my immediate family it was the first time I think I’d ever really imagined that without this person, life would be a little less full.

  Thanks for the randomness of the quote Jason, it puts a whole lot into perspective.

  I have a mug with this quote on which was bought as a secret santa present last year. I’ve always wondered who the quote came from. And now I do… A great quote.

  Whooshing sound, that must be all the wind noises I have been hearing the last week… ;oD

  Great quote!

  My favorite author and one of my favorite all-time quotes.

  My other favorite DNA quote:
  “If there’s anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.”

  Nothin’ more to say than: “42.”

  Such an amazing person to love deadlines..

  I’m usually crazy when there are deadlines…

  I think this is the first time I actually noticed sIFR being used.
  I think it’s probably still better than Cufón, at this moment — Dave Shea had used it, recently, and a bunch of people were annoyed at him because they couldn’t see the highlights when they selected text.

  Over here: http://github.com/sorccu/cufon/commits/
  They have a big list of changes. It looks like they’re getting a whole lot done, so I’d expect them to overtake sIFR soon.

  One of the most annoying things for sIFR is that you cannot use the mouse wheel to scroll up or down natively in Firefox.

  I have to agree with Michael, Cúfon is without a doubt gaining terrain and looking promising.

  Can Cúfon be used with any font? Or you need to get a special license?

  He was supposed to be the commencement speaker at my college’s graduation, but he passed away the day before. Still heartbroken.

  Great quote, I really love the color scheme, the overall look. Thanks for pointing him out. Keep this going, Jason!

  Michael Kozakewich, Maxime Perron Caissy: I think that sIFR will be here yet long enough guys. It’s still the older brother.

  “He hoped and prayed that there wasn’t an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn’t an afterlife.” is another of my favorite Adams quotes.

  Yes, nothing more to say!

  Surely you already noticed it, but this website seems to be very “inspired” by you ;) The logo, and the graphics here, for example (author, date, etc…).

  Anyway bye bye from Italy!
