They kept us busy Roland ? Did a bit of swimming (and the odd bit of yabbying) in the channels but didn?t clear too many.
Looking back, it wasn?t a bad time to be a kid. After reading your adventures however, I think I?m glad I had a motorbike and not a horse ?

Crikey David, they were certainly pushing the monitors in Mildura. Its a wonder they didn?t have you clearing the irrigation canals.

I had to ask for help catching my horse at school once. Kids roll their eyes when I describe riding Aspro to school. Horrid thing would throw me into the black berries so no great love there. Much later I had to explain to my biochemistry lecturer why one of major experimental reports was covered in green slobber when Aspro nipped it out of my bag upon the roof of my car and did a runner with it across the paddock. Our goat won the school dog-food eating competition so she has my praise and adoration.

The young ones of today have it easy with their fossil-fueled school transport, electronic homework submissions etc.

Great memories indeed Roland.
Ink Monitor ? check. Milk Monitor ? check. On a good day it was still cold and there was a layer of cream on the top.  Rubbish Monitor ? check. Only time I got the strap in primary school ? let the fire escape from the incinerator a little further than we should have.  Some of the quality jobs from days gone by.
I also got to, on very special occasions, mow the schools front lawn (after going down to the local servo to buy more fuel ? on my own) and now and again getting the job of going down to the local milk bar to buy our teacher a packet of Benson & Hedges and a packet of Bex. I wonder how that would go down now ?

Ink monitor? That brings back memories. Crikey, I would hold my hand straight up until it was nearly stuck there to become a milk monitor. You got to visit outside and grab a cold milk before it turned warm in the summer sun. My best friend Mark always ended up being the rubbish monitor. They got to play with the school incinerator and burn up the old milk containers. Best I could score was the chalk monitor and they got to bang out all the dusters on the side of the building.

Teachers would bemoan my generation and the death of calligraphy and copper plate script with our new fangled ball point pens. I wonder if in years to come, we will similarly bemoan the death of the serif with typography, a time when letters stayed flat and still on a page before somebody invented <3DFlash> tags.

In 6th class my mate and I were the ink monitors. We got to mix the powder and water to make the ink we loaded our steel nibs with. We found some very old and musty stuff at the back of the store and for a few weeks 6A were writing in a strange greenish tinged ink that tended to oxidise to a deep orange red tinge. Maybe we?d mixed the wrong stuff. Lucky we had a teacher/footie coach who always encouraged a ?suck it and see? attitude in the kids. I guess we?d call it Enquiry Learning now.

Yes, we were all distracted Damien,

In the 80?s, everybody got excited about dry transfer type system called Letraset and Dymo system to make embossed labels. Teachers took to this like ducks to water, championing the installation of photocopiers in school. Only the die hards continued to sniff fordigraph fluid as they scribbled away on carbon paper and remembered what who had what cup in the staff room. The history is worth recalling:

http://creativepro.com/scanning-around-gene-when-letraset-was-king/

Only after coming up for air in the 1990?s did we start to mess around with brands and fonts for our computers.

Then in 1993, Comic Sans was invented and a new world order took over ..

They have to be careful to keep in line with their branding I suppose.
Small change, subtle, yet familiar ? its like Estee Lauder and all their cross brands, they all use a slightly different, classy san serif font.

Interesting.

Perhaps we are hard wired to be more sensitive to small differences: the objects that are aligned - but not exactly; the musical note that is just off key; the two colours that are almost the same; the line that is parallel to the edge of the page - but not exactly.

The last time they changed their logo, they moved two letters by one pixel.

That shook up the design world<http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/google-makes-subtlest-logo-change-history-logo-changes-157979>, I can tell you.

Hi, typophiles

Google has a new logo - and it's SANS SERIF.

http://www.wired.com/2015/09/google-new-logo/

?I realise you may need to take the rest of the day off to fully appreciate this. I apologise.

Mark?
