Loading bold and italics fonts on my website

A while ago, I noticed that my headings did not look consistent across Firefox and Safari. I learned that this was because the font file I was using on my website did not contain bold characters. This meant that browsers were trying to “synthesise” a bold font. This synthesi...

New episode: The Truth About Picky Eaters

I cannot imagine the horror of being a parent whose child won’t eat anything. The guilt, the fear, the worry. And yet pickiness is everywhere. It seems almost inevitable. Helen Zoe Veit's new book reveals that pickiness wasn’t even a thing until the 1920s. Where did it all go wrong?And what can you do if your child is picky?

Deep in the Umbrian countryside, even a Rabbit only 1.3 km away (much less as the crow flies) might not be reachable, and so it proved. I got as close as I could, on the edge of an olive orchard, but the Rabbit itself was down in a steep wooded valley.

The coffee

This year I have been drinking more tea than coffee. I have around three or four coffees a week, usually all decaf, and I don’t visit speciality coffee shops as much as I once did (in large part because I am never sure whether there will be decaf available). I think the last...

Autumn

The joy of the cool morning air and the seeing singing birds fly between trees. There is a light haze in the air this morning, the haze of an autumn morning. My cheeks are chilly right now — probably pink too. Light shines through the windows and casts a long glow on the flo...

🎬 Melancholia

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/melancholia/

Movie poster for “Melancholia”.

When melancholia hits you hart, you’re done.

Absolutely love the depressing atmosphere in this movie. And what a scenario with another planet hitting earth!

Love the classic soundtrack. The space images are fantastic. The opening slo-mo sequences remind me of Crewdson photographs.

Part one might be a bit too long, but part two is absolutely perfect.

👍 Recommended!

Perspective

The perspective of the painting; the painting of perspective; the perspective of the viewing. The contrasts of the colours between canvases. The contrasts of light between rooms. I have seen Turner’s Sunrise several times this summer, and every time I see something new. Tod...

Of Day

Herein, vignettes of today. Silver-tipped trees, reddening leaves hanging over fences. Trees swishing like bristles of a brush, painting the day, or waving away the clouds. Morning — listening to music that makes me happy. ⁂ ⁂ ⁂ Two hearts drawn on a wall on the corner. I...

In this one respect, I would much rather be in Dundee than Rome, where Critical Mass seems to have slunk off into a corner to die.

Starry night

I close my eyes and I can still see the blanket of stars that I saw moments ago when I was leaning as close as I could into the glass of the window such that I could see as many stars as possible. Such is the impression that the stars made that I can see them in my mind even...
