There is a lot of interesting stuff here, but my recently operated-on eyes have a difficult time with type without serifs. A less difficult time than before the operation, but the eye surgeon told me after the operation that I now had the "eyes of a five-year old." I have that in common with children first learning to cipher the alphabet. My theory is that sans serif type is why the fabled Johnny can read but doesn't much want to. Web designers have--almost totally--adopted sans serif. They must be in league with optometrists to spur business. Does anyone know of a blog with a serif typeface?

It's very clear to me when I see colleagues who are walled up in their industry silos. Even when they have "new" ideas they appear to be very limited.
