The other side of summer

Is it ironic that I ended up having to work on Labor  Day?  Or is it more ironic that most people spend this day doing anything but, while bemoaning the close of summer?

The sun struggles up another beautiful day
And I felt glad in my own suspicious way
Despite the contradiction and confusion
Felt tragic without reason
There’s malice and there’s magic in every season
— Elvis Costello

I really like that photo of the subway entrance, it reminds me of those ugly 70s era entrance signs in black. By the way Helvetica: the movie started its run at IFC Center.

Also there’s this cool (animated history of the subway) map

Thanks. I like that animated GIF. And a film about a font! I’m excited… and apparently sort of a geek.

Go for it ...
