Not all of the people in this industry are fixated on type and design 24/7, some of them have serious hobbies and alter-egos. Karl Thomson, who is our first Speaker in the upcoming Calendar, is somebody who wears two hats extremely well. Not only is he an extremely talented designer, but he is also a highly accomplished race car driver. I wish I had more time to go into this right now, but I have a class to teach and can only leave you with a teaser and a link. Karl’s crew initially placed 3rd in the qualifying rounds last weekend, but ended up in the top two on technicalities (if I understand this correctly) and their race will be on the Speed Channel tonight at 8:00 p.m. for those of you inclined to watch what professional designers do in their off time. There is more on Karl’s blog site if you’re interested.
Congrats Karl! For the rest of you, have a great weekend.
