You know when you're in the dark about something and then someone wakes you up and you get that realisation that things could have been better, you just didn't know any better, because nobody bothered to tell you about it? What am I talking about? I'm making less sense than normal? I'll tell you what I'm blathering about. I'm talking about how fonts are displayed on the four major web browsers, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, Safari 3 and Opera 9.

300_1.jpg Frank Miller's 300 had my money several times over from the moment I heard it was going to be made. Then came the trailer and I nearly came in my pants several times over (I know not a pretty vision but at least I'm being truthful). Then I shared the trailer with Stathi and Christos and while I thought I was excited, these guys were even more excited about this movie than I was. Honestly between the three of us we've probably seen the trailer like 3000 times.
