Yes, it’s a real movie. The site is experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment, so I don’t have an estimated release date.

Helvetica: A film about a font
Thursday, January 10th, 2008
A while back there was a lot of buzz about a documentary film called, Helvetica. As the name implies, it’s all about a font…
“We use it every day on our computers, we see it on street signs — and we take it for granted. Now, Gary Hustwit’s unique documentary introduces us to Helvetica, whose readability has made it the most popular font in the world. Interviews with designers and artists offer insight into the development, use and universal acceptance of Helvetica as the typeface of choice for everything from writing letters to creating corporate logos.”
I actually didn’t pay a tremendous amount of attention when it first came out. I missed it when it was in theaters. But, when the film became available on Netflix I thought I would give it a shot.
I’m really glad I did. It’s actually an excellent film. As a designer I probably have more interest than most, but I think even non-designers will find Helvetica interesting. I may have to buy this film.

The Galactically Hot Women of Star Trek
Friday, December 21st, 2007
Flickr user, Marcello Poletti, has begun the daunting task of compiling a library of The Galactically Hot Women of Star Trek (The Original Series). He’s up to 72, and still going. Personally, I think it’s time well spent. :)
If you like Marcello’s Star Trek set, you may want to check out some of his other sets including, The Ladies of “U.F.O”
