irt "...I know this is off-topic, but does anyone know how he got visual effect X on his blog? ..." I cannot describe the sadness I feel when I see the title of an essay I might enjoy, decide to use HN comments as a way to decide, then the top comments are all "Why is he using comic sans as a font?
