My dear reader, my friend @cole007 has a very sore back at the moment, or so he would tell you (I know for a fact that he does and I sympathise but bare with me). I’ve actually found out what he’s been up to, creating evil typography weapons to unleash on the world…

I’m sure he wishes he had developed this rather cool Linotype gun, I found it over at http://fortheloveoftype.blogspot.com/2009/02/type-gun-b-b-bird.html and I guess you could use it for either doing hold-ups or writing ransom messages.

Consider this a get well soon for a friend and a hat tip to a rather neat invention.
