Typophile recently had a forum thread on killing your least favorite font and why.
My least favorite font of all time is Comic Sans. I know Butteredwaffles tackled this a while ago, but I try to spread the word about it as often as I can. I am part of the Facebook group to ban comic sans. I think I need to get a life and quit worrying about it so much.

tonight's diversion
I clicked over to nasa.gov after seeing "In the Shadow of the Moon" this weekend. They have some fun animations about the new lunar program.
It's been days since I saw the movie, but I'm still thinking about how cool space travel was. My earliest memories are of the bedroom I shared with my brother, back when we lived in our old house.
The wallpaper was Skylab and all of the other heroic NASA stuff. Science was cool back then. There is no spirit of wonder in the space program. It as though we just gave up.
These days, we ostracize people as geeks and nerds who dare to dream about space travel. I think there is a rational explanation for this. After the Challenger exploded, the world became too scared to even think about going into space.
But I think my fascination with science fiction arose because of those early images of skylab that I slept under every night. I've never stopped dreaming about space. It still sticks in my head that people actually made it to the moon before. NASA even has probes on Mars, and some have even left our solar system.
I think that society needs to focus on progress, even though it is costly and difficult. We can't just let ourselves become complacent and accept the limits. We have to learn how to reach beyond.
