BookArc for iPad (via iLounge)
I have featured TwelveSouth’s products many times before here. They are elegant, minimal, and darn near made to be posted here. Well, they have taken their popular BookArc for Macbook and made a version for the iPad which will be out “soon”. I’ll be ordering one of these.
Turn the brightness down to half. Voilà.
Whilst watching Up In The Air (very good by the way) the other day, I was distracted by the massive American Airline logo on a tail-fin of a 747. And then a question popped into my head that I can’t shift: what/where is the biggest type in the world?
Dr B, ever patient with my inane fontular ramblings, suggested the Hollywood sign. Possible, I thought. After a quick visit to Wikipedia and few taps into Convertbot, it turns out the sign is set at an impressive 42,520pt. Pretty darn big.
And then I was directed to Woodtyper’s post on the Tillamook Air Museum, a massive hanger sporting the words “AIR MUSEUM” in gargantuan 120,000pt Helvetica. Now that’s BIG (see the comparative scale image above and shudder in vowel-fear).
But I’m sure that can’t be it. There must be something bigger. Probably in Vegas. Can you think of anything? Please send any suggestion on the back of a stamped addressed tweet to the usual address.
