Arc Tangent

@klepas and I put together a pod­cast. It’s going to be a bi-​weekly sort of affair (or when­ever we feel like it). I should note, first up, that the audio qual­ity is pretty ter­ri­ble. It was a first shot and not one of the three record­ing devices we used were really up to scratch — we’ll def­i­nitely have that fixed before next time!

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Recent events in the world of web fonts (pro­pos­als to bring more fonts to the web, and the advent of TypeKit)
2. The pro­nun­ci­a­tion of Opera (Oh-​pear-​uh? Op-​er-​rah?)
3. Sta­tic vs. Dynamic Web­site Con­tent Generators
4. Ope­nA­trium, a new intranet pack­age based on Dru­pal (which we’ll review next time around!)

Turns out ID3 meta­data in MP3s is pretty lim­ited — our show notes in the MP3 cut out about a third of the way through. So, here’s some use­ful links:

1. ‘Beau­ti­ful Web Typog­ra­phy’ talk slides
2. Type­kit
3. Kernest
4. Jekyll
5. Devel­op­ment Seed
6. Dru­pal
7. Open Atrium
8. http://​klepas​.org/
9. http://​klepas​.org/​b​eta

The intro music we used is the open­ing riff of ‘Fake It’ by Brad Sucks (http://​www​.bradsucks​.net/​a​l​b​u​m​s​/​o​u​t​_​o​f​_​it/), licensed CC-​BY-​SA 3.0 Unported (http://​cre​ativecom​mons​.org/​l​i​c​e​n​s​e​s​/​b​y​-​s​a​/​3​.0/).

Since we’re just get­ting this off the ground we’d love feed­back. Feel free to email us — arcwhite@arcwhite.org and klepas@klepas.org.
