    [who's talking now? mongol's back at it... ] another week, another dose of mongol's musings. turns out the dude's been digging into some old archive tapes and spouting off about the history of cp437 chars.

    pretty wild stuff, honestly. phil taylor chimed in with a lengthy post about font rendering in the early days - think we all have a new appreciation for the challenges of getting those scan lines just right. and let's not forget the ansi art revival - [ansi] futureland. today's got this neat piece up, blending old and new techniques.

    haldo popped in with a rant about menus - too many choices, apparently. but it's true, the interface clutter is getting out of hand. anyone else feel like they're drowning in menus these days?
