Vertext, a scalable typography library!

There's a few exciting projects going on at design.Yahoo! right now but I will talk about them at a later date. Right now I want to introduce my new library! Vertext is a scalable typography library that pipes Processing's textMode(SHAPE) into OpenGL display-lists. What a mouthful. Long story short: LARGE LARGE TEXT, fast renders!!

View site and download Vertext.


I want to avoid any long-winded technical discussion of how it's made, but if anyone's curious they can pop me an email.


So, upon being inspired by Kupo I picked up the guitar and started plucking away. Charisma +1! Gained: Bard skills! My left-hand fingers feel all leathery now. I've been learning how to play Needle in the Hay (Elliot Smith), Title and Registration (Death Cab for Cutie), I Don't Know What I Can Save You From, and Girl From Back Then (both Kings of Convenience).


I've also finished Crysis. Imagine someone telling you an amazing story, using all sorts of big words, analogies, detailed descriptions, depicting this outrageous incredible epic and suddenly stopping mid-sentence. -_-


Other stuff to rant about (paintball, videogame design, kickboxing blah blah). Basically I have way too many hobbies and projects to keep track of but I've come to accept this and just roll with it. Whatever it takes to not be bored!
