Zebraaaaa

This has prob­a­bly been done before, but I don’t care.

Encyclopaedia Britannica on Zebra:

any of three species of strik­ingly black-and-white-striped mam­mals of the horse fam­ily Equidae (genus Equus): Burchell’s, or plains, zebra (E. burchel­lii), which is found in rich grass­lands over much of east­ern and south­ern Africa; Grevy’s zebra (E. grevyi), which lives in arid, sparsely wooded areas in Kenya and a few small areas in Ethiopia; and the moun­tain zebra (E. zebra), which inhab­its dry upland plains in Namibia and a few scat­tered areas in west­ern South Africa.

readme.txt

Wikipedia on “README”:

A readme (or read me) file con­tains infor­ma­tion about other files in a direc­tory or archive and is very com­monly dis­trib­uted with com­puter soft­ware. Such a file is usu­ally a text file­called README.TXTREADME.1STREAD.ME, or sim­ply README, although some Microsoft Windows soft­ware may occa­sion­ally include a README.WRIREADME.RTF, orREADME.DOC. The name is cho­sen so that users unaware of the exis­tence of this type of files would be drawn to read it. It is tra­di­tion­ally writ­ten in upper case so that on case-preserving envi­ron­ments using an ASCIIbetical order­ing, the name will appear near the begin­ning of a direc­tory list­ing (since upper-case let­ters sort before lower-case let­ters in ASCIIbetical ordering).

This is my pic­ture of README.txt:

Got the photo from this month’s Computer Arts free CD, I always like to do some­thing with the free stock pho­tos they put on there!

Univers Condensed

Just let­ting y’all know I’m still knock­ing about. Working on some more panora­mas, and some more ran­dom illustrations.

I saw an info-graphic this week done in univers con­densed and as I was look­ing at it all I could think was “my god, I’m being shouted at!” So I did this in response:

Univers Condensed: The Shouty Font.
