Happy Easter from Team Wertz!

A family stands smiling in front of a large floral cross in an outdoor setting.

Quick favor. I need a few more responses for a pilot study on social media use that I’m doing for a grad school class. It’s a simple Google Form. Completely anonymous and it won’t be used for published research. It’s just for practice – and a grade. Thanks!

Watching the Rocketeer because it’s fun to watch the good guys fight the Nazis.

Spent today at Augusta National with no phone or digital devices. It’s nice to be forced to unplug for the day.

I’m back to playing around on Fontstruct. Just published SbB Powercore, a unicase, pixel-inspired design. I’m digging this combination of unicase characters. Still a work in progress.

Examples of typeface SbB Powercore in use.

One thing about going back to grad school in your late 40s… everyone thinks you are a professor.

Getting back in the habit of writing one of my elected representatives every day.

Today, we are thankful for protective lacrosse goalie gear.

Great game, Gamecocks! So much depth. Looking forward to the National Championship game on Sunday. 🏀🐓

Google’s AI Overview has already declared that South Carolina defeated UCLA on Sunday for the National Championship.

A Google search results page shows information about the 2025 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, with details about the championship game, teams involved, and broadcasting.

Spring is finally coming to campus.

McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina stands in the background, surrounded by lush greenery and a pathway, with a flower bed in the foreground.

As a South Carolinian, I’m happy to see Cory Booker break Strom’s record.

Looks like the Women’s Final Four will be South Carolina + the three teams that beat them during the season… Texas, UCLA and UConn. I think these are the four best teams in the country. And while I’m a Gamecocks fan through and through, Paige Bueckers looks like she’s on a mission.

Saw this last week and I’m still thinking about it…

Procrastination is not a time management problem. It’s an emotion management problem.

Took the modular numerals from the 2025 McLaren F1 livery and built a font on Fontstruct.

I’m ready for an F1 race that doesn’t take place in the middle of the night where I live. I want to watch the Chinese Grand Prix tonight, but 3 am is… inconvenient. I love that this sport travels the world, but varied start times is one of the consequences of that.

Writing became secondary.

Reflecting on Dave Winer’s post about the Writer’s Web.

Today was disappointing. Tomorrow will be better.

I’ve settled into a morning routine of playing Apple News+ games in the morning: Quartiles, Mini Crossword, Soduku. It’s funny that I play these games more than I play Apple Arcade games, which are also included in my Apple One bundle.

I accidentally started listening to an old playlist that is much happier and more upbeat than my normal playlist. And wow, that makes a difference.
