Accused of being religious?

Skilled Workman Posted on October 14, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Accused of being religious — I hope not. What a horrible thing that is! I am certainly not religious, at least not too much. According to dictionary.com: a religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. The problem is that sets are defined and God is beyond definition—at least my God is. Sets of beliefs become merely  points of argument: think waste of time. Yes, I can define many of my beliefs. Many of them are Biblical. I do see the … Continue reading →

The key role of Fontographer in the font revolution

Skilled Workman Posted on October 13, 2011 by David BergslandMay 16, 2015

An excerpt from my newest book, due out in late fall of 2011… The world of font design has radically changed in the digital world of graphic design. We no longer make huge careful drawings, reduced to perfection, and exquisitely carved out of metal or exposed onto film. We make mathematically precise, infinitely editable, completely resizable shapes output as code. The software that brought about that change is the focus of my new book: Practical FontDesign for … Continue reading →

Steve Jobs and The Great Commission

Skilled Workman Posted on October 6, 2011 by David BergslandOctober 6, 2011

Steve Jobs and The Great Commission. Dr.Milton makes some very good points. Like I have often said, the push behind this technology is clearly part of the scenario bringing in the end of the age. It goes far beyond the whole world being able to see the two witnesses lying dead in Jerusalem. The Antichrist needs it and the Lord has clearly used it. I’ve been Mac only since 1991 (except for a couple of horrible years … Continue reading →

The mission of the church during apostasy

Skilled Workman Posted on October 6, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

The mission of the church during apostasy. Things have gotten much worse during the nearly ten years since I wrote this post. Let’s get one thing straight, I am not a fan of the organizations I see. My experiences with the church organizations of the 21st century are not good, and I expect them to get worse. [Ed: though we finally found one In Rochester, NY in 2019.] Back in 2011, I had just heard about the … Continue reading →

A look at the ebook revolution: known & unknown

Skilled Workman Posted on October 3, 2011 by David BergslandOctober 3, 2011

Four years into the ebook revolution: things we know and things we don’t know – The Shatzkin Files. I received a link to this from Joel this morning. It’s a good review and an eye-opener, if you haven’t been paying attention. Mike says: “One could say (and I would) that the ereading revolution is coming up to its 4th anniversary since it was late November 2007 when Amazon first released the Kindle. There had been dedicated ereading … Continue reading →

Fontographer 5.1 book: proofing release extended

Skilled Workman Posted on September 29, 2011 by David BergslandSeptember 29, 2011

I’ve decided to extend the proofing release for at least another month until I decide what to do with letterspacing in Fontographer. I want to develop an easy way for font designers (who do it for fun) to letterspace their work. I no longer believe that Fontographer will auto space well enough for pro releases of fonts for sale. Please take a look at the proof and let me know what you believe. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/practical-font-design-for-graphic-designers-fontographer/17144172 The PDF download … Continue reading →

Ben Stein says what’s needed to be said

Skilled Workman Posted on September 17, 2011 by David BergslandSeptember 17, 2011

I received this in an email from a friend today I strongly agree with his statement. As an American you are free to have your own religion. However, I am very tired of the humanist/atheist minority dictating our national religion. The separation of religion means that we should not have an official state religion and I’m afraid we have one. It’s humanism—the foolish belief that we can figure it out and fix our own problems. That’s absurd. … Continue reading →

Writing in InDesign ebooks are up or coming

Skilled Workman Posted on August 26, 2011 by David BergslandAugust 26, 2011

Apple is always slow with additions to iBooks, but you can get the ePUB that will be there from Lulu or NookBooks. Amazon just let me know that the Kindle version is up. It will take a while before the print and Kindle versions are linked up. The response to the book has been very good I am really pleased that several people seem to think the basic concept has merit. You can see a discussion of … Continue reading →
