The Tyranny of Size Language

November 14th, 2008, 8 Comments »

Insert phallic joke here. I was at Blenz last night, and spotted these measures of cup size:

Didn’t Blenz used to eschew crazy Starbucks-esque sizing? What’s with ’supremo’?

Incidentally, this post shows off the new site design’s ‘light box’ functionality. If you click the above photo, you should see a kind of pop-up thingie that shows you a bigger version (speaking of the tyranny of size). I hope it’ll be handy for instances when I want to share a big image. The cup lids aren’t example a great example, but you get the idea.

UPDATE: At least, that’s what it should do. The light box thingie doesn’t seem to be working at the moment–I’ll trouble shoot as time permits.

UPDATE #2: Yeah, that works for me now, too. Don’t know what’s up with that.
