Ambigram of "ambigram" by Basile Morin, one of December's featured pictures. Basile has created huge numbers of clever and creative ambigrams for the ambigram article, and it's about time we recognised his work. Perhaps I'm childish, but my favourite is this one.
The Signpost is trialling a bi-monthly issue frequency, which is a very good thing: Next issue, we'll have a more reasonable half a month's worth of featured content, which I think is a lot more digestible than the summaries of twenty-one articles and fifteen featured lists we have this issue. In addition, if we keep this up, when I inevitably miss a deadline at some point, instead of having to spike an entire month of featured content, I can just do a full month of coverage next issue. (You can't put two months of content in an issue – it makes the article too long – but we've proven for years you can put one month in them.)
So, Happy New Year, and may the new reign of bimonthly issues reign eternal, as long as "bimonthly" never gets its other meaning of "once every two months".
This month, I've borrowed two descriptions, Robert Nimmo and Thomas Hardy, from the other newsletter I work on, The Bugle. They were written by Ian Rose after Nick-D.
See you in two weeks!
