Type as Image is turning out to be one of my favorite classes. I'm fascinated by fonts, even though my brain says I shouldn't be. "They're just fonts, what the Hell?" Well I guess not, theres so much I never knew about the shapes we read. Anyway I'm throwing a link in there to keep things interesting. My latest glass piece is a window about Fionn MacCumhail, and Irish hero and sometimes regarded as the equivalent of King Arthur. He had prophetic wisdom that he accessed by chewing his thumb, which he burned while cooking the Salmon of Knowledge. The site linked is Godchecker and is a neat compilation of the pantheons of many different areas. The articles are usually fairly solid, however there's an attempt at humor which sometimes just confuses the facts and I wish they cited their sources better, but you can't have everything. Overall it's a useful site for mythological references.
