Helvetica vs. Arial

September 24, 2009

I had no idea that small differences between typefaces aren’t small at all when it comes to typography. And that there’s a feud between Helvetica and Arial!

My Top 2 Feel-good Videos

September 7, 2008

Paul Potts
Paul won Britain’s Got Talent’s first season. After that, he’s been all around the world gracing everybody with his heart-stopping voice. In fact, he’ll be here in Manila on October 8 at the PICC. But with all the fame and opportunities, I still believe that his best performance was during his first audition. I’ve downloaded this video from YouTube so I can watch it whenever I want, and though I’ve seen it dozens of times, it still never fails to give me goosebumps and make me well up. Plus, his smile is one that melts my heart. Seriously.

Andrew Johnston
Andrew was also a contestant in Britain’s Got Talent Season 2. I saw his audition being featured on TV, and immediately looked him up in YouTube. He, like Paul, is absolutely amazing. Goosebumps and tears, yes, this video gives me those too. The difference between these 2 videos though, is that here, you won’t see the apprehension that the judges had when Paul said he was there to sing opera. Ah well, they both definitely surprised the judges and the audience.
