Metafont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
july 2009 by WIZARDISHUNGRY
While well-known font designers, such as Hermann Zapf, have collaborated with Knuth to create new fonts using Metafont, the system has not been widely adopted by professional type designers. Knuth attributes this to the fact that "asking an artist to become enough of a mathematician to understand how to write a font with 60 parameters is too much".[5]

This little JavaScript application let's you type in a phrase and then analyzes it to see if it is a palindrome. Spaces and some punctuation marks are ignored, as are differences in case. Therefore, "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a valid palindrome.

It’s something exotic called Spasmodic Dysphonia. Essentially a part of the brain that controls speech just shuts down in some people, usually after you strain your voice during a bout with allergies (in my case) or some other sort of normal laryngitis.
