Just When You Think That Having A Bunch Of Guys Sitting Around In An Office While Coding For Eight Hours A Day Is Enough Geekiness,

You had just came to the realization that the said guys were also decorating their office space for Halloween—a normal thing to do—in the style reminiscent of the golden era of 8-bit videogaming—a slightly less normal thing to do.

Your reaction?

I got five words: blow those bitmaps up, baby.

Good night.

As A Type Nerd, It Would Be Very Inapropriate Of Me To Not Inform You That OS X Leopard’s Mail.app Defaulted To Employ The Typeface “Marker Felt” To Set Its Note Text

That is right, Marker Felt. Thank god you can change it.

This escalated the said typeface to the level of Helvetica by using it as a default UI text, and also proved that Per-folder File Sharing is not the only feature that Leopard had brought back from OS 9.

Mr. Gruber and Mr. Coles, there’s your cue.

And about that “coming to an end” bit, it seems that the city of Albany, NY, is spared for the moment.

Thanks to AppleInsider for the images, and Veer’s The Skinny for the excellent shirt information.

Good night.
