Great post.
13 out of 20 on the quiz. And it really is true about Trajan, I’m def. gonna look out for that next time I’m at Blockbuster.

I find it funny though how the guy in the Trajan video told movie poster designers to try out Comic Sans, and thereafter we learned about the horrible horrible tales of Comic Sans.

Great article! However, one correction: Microsoft Bob was not a children’s game, it was a Windows user interface that was designed to be intuitive and simple, and thereby ostensibly attractive to those who were new to personal computing. I worked in retail software sales at the time and we nicknamed it “Windows for Old People.”
Comic Sans wasn’t the only thing wrong with Bob, but it was one of the (sadly) most enduring.

This was an awesome post. It is really refreshing to have the dust of obscurity brushed off a topic like that. I like how instead of going too far into any one topic you kind of touched on a nice set with interesting videos and odd facts.

This would be nice followed by an article about web typography. I am really unsure of what the optimal spacing and font choice is for the internet, and there is so much you can mess with with CSS.
