If you feel weird interviewing yourself, I can come up with some questions for you :)

About “calligraphy not being typography”, chapter three of Fred Smeijers’ Counterpunch does a wonderful job of explaining the differences (there are similarities and overlaps, of course) between handwriting (calligraphy), lettering, and typography.

Written letters can be used only during the process of writing itself: the moment of production and of use is one and the same.

Thanks. The main reason for the new favicon is that it scales well, and I can use it at larger sizes elsewhere: twitter and as a Gravatar.

That is absolutely beautiful! Please do tell how (or give a link)?I like seeing work done with type as the main graphic, like the ampersand book. It seems more creative to me than just using pictures. I wish I could learn the secrets...Wow! And what styling for AJAX edit comments! You have been working really hard behind the scenes here lately, John!Ah, and I had an idea about the interviews: would one with a designer that does typography well be out of the question? I'm thinking questions about getting a solid handle on using type would be helpful to those of us trying to learn it. I know it's not the same as interviewing a type designer, but I thought it would still be interesting and helpful. Rather off topic, John, but I LOVE how you’ve styled the number of subscribers!!
