My teenage son loves playing games. I know, there probably isn’t a teenager who doesn’t like playing games! One of his fav games is Fortnite, which he plays with his online friends. Now, I know nothing about gaming, but apparently there are non-player characters called henchmen that function as stormtroopers. I’m probably making a fool […]
Groenland is the Dutch name for Greenland. It means exactly that: Green Land. In Danish it is called Grønland (Green Land) and in Greenlandic it is called Kalaallit Nunaat, which translates as ‘land of the Greenlanders’. I guess the Greenlanders are right! I haven’t visited Greenland, but I would love to! Maybe somewhere in the […]
It is quite bizarre to see the heads of big corporations kiss up when someone comes into power. It sounds like a bad cliché, but unfortunately it’s not. Kiss Up font is a handmade, brush font. It will look quite good on your book cover designs, your product packaging, signage and yes, even your protest […]

We never buy the microwave popcorn as we suspect it has been genetically modified and/or heavily processed. We don’t really eat a lot of the stuff, as it is primarily an American […]
Bockwurst is a type of German sausage, often made with veal or a combination of veal and pork. It is served with mustard and a bun, not unlike a hotdog! I am not a great Bockwurst or Hotdog eater (processed meats are really bad for you, folks!), but I quite liked the name for this […]
Wormhole Wednesday is a handmade font that can be used for a variety of designs. Its light character makes it perfect for text on product packaging, in books or on websites. Wormhole Wednesday comes with a set of alternates for the lower case glyphs and extensive language support!
