Light blogging week, first look at Longhorn fonts:

"...Today we're gonna take a hike around campus with Bill Hill. He was our first interview on Channel 9 (and still one of our most popular). His bit about why you should put only a single space after a period is still one of my favorites."

...

(Via Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger.)

I was struck by Bill Hill's strong Scottish accent. Later on in the interview Bill mentions that he worked for the Scotsman newspaper as an editor and reporter. Funnily enough the Scotsman is basically my local national paper and the one I read every day. It's a small world.

BTW, I am convinced that I should put only a single space after a full-stop but it's going to be difficult to wean myself off the double-space habit!
