Manifeste is located at Aire Banque Nationale, a public space on the corner of Amherst St. and St. Catherine St. E. in Montreal’s Ville-Marie, it is inspired by the last sentence of the Aires Libres manifesto written by Guy Corriveau: A time will come where you can express yourself freely.
Set in the heart of the Montreal’s Gay Village, Manifeste can only be revealed and decoded under certain angles. To read it, one must step backwards to Wolfe St., and then find the right angle. To fully experience it, one can leisurely penetrate its vertical forms, or thread one’s way through the tubes supporting the illuminating letters. Night or day, Manifeste is a reminder that vital thoughts and reflections surround us without being noticed and that sometimes a slight change in perspective suddenly places us in front of what is apparent. On occasion, when we are not seeing the forest for the trees, the crown of high forest reveals a message of hope.

Starting with the font’s alternate, swash ampersand, Provost gave it a more conventional loop at the top and ended up with a very attractive monogram. Provost also made another adjustment to Typewriter, creating a new weight between the hairline Light and fairly beefy Medium to make the logotype work at a variety of sizes.

Wil Wheaton on The Young Turks, talking about SOPA and such things.
I’m making the mistake of looking at the comments on this video and trying not to say “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST QUIT MAKING STAR TREK REFERENCES THAT IS NOT WHAT THE DISCUSSION IS ABOUT DON’T TELL WESLEY TO SHUT UP YOU SHUT UP.” I mean I’m really sorry if you have problems with him as an actor but can you just take a fucking minute to appreciate how intelligent and articulate he is I MEAN JUST A FUCKING MINUTE?
I got ranty. Anyway. This video rules. Wheaton rules.
I want to elect him President. President of Everything.
WHEATON FOR PRESIDENT OF EVERYTHING
You never read the comments, and you especially don’t read the comments at YouTube, which is home to the most idiotic comments in the history of the Internet. (Ob. XKCD)
Anyway, I’m proud of what I said on Young Turks, and that’s all that matters to me.
