We are great fans of the humble colophon. The modern use of the colophon, usually includes information about the typeface, paper, binding used in the making of a book. More recently colophons have been used to describe the tools used to produce the book. Noteable colophons can be found in Wired Magazine, the venerable Whole Earth Catalog, Books from OReilly Media and my personal favorite, The Plan of St. Gall which told of how they worked to change several characters in the font used in the book with the help of the grand lady of printing herself Beatrice Ward!

Colophons are a window into the art of the writer, editor, book designer and printer. They help to understand the tool chain used to create books, and sometimes even the workflow behind how it is done.

Graphics are created and edited using The GIMP, and ImageMagick. Diagrams are created using and sometimes Inkscape.

The content for the site is written using Org-Mode in Gnu Emacs, and then exported to HTML. The site is then generated using jekyll/, and then uploaded to the web site using Rsync.

Google Analytics are used for statistics, and Disqus is used for comments on the blog.
