Font conference

So a number of us went to one of our church's Bahasa Indonesia service in Pengkalan yesterday. Since I haven't actually had an actual conversation in BM since high school, I'm pretty rusty when it comes to conversing and understanding what people are saying when they speak BM. It's like there's this need for me to translate what they are saying into English before anything registers in my beautiful head.

Still, it was really really refreshing just to be there. Praising and worshipping God in a different language brought a whole new meaning to the words being sung. Everything was just new and refreshing. Suffice to say, it was something that I really needed.

Then... there was this really funny article on the comic sans font. Apparently, there's this campaign to kill the Comic Sans Font. Hahahahahaha. Go here http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123992364819927171.html for more. The font's been used on pretty much on everything, from Disney ads, gravestones and bowel cancer posters.

Anyway, the article reminded me of this clip i watched eons ago. If the computer fonts we used had real personalities, this would be pretty much what would happen....
