Life As It Comes 

Ode to the Ampersand6 Comments

Have you ever thought about the ampersand? Where did it get its shape? Why is it named that way? Well, my friends, today you’re in luck.

Jason Kottke linked to an article recently about this special character, which I found interesting enough to spend some more time reading about it on Wikipedia.

More and more as I think about web design, I find typography interesting, so that is why I would post about something like this. However, did you know that software developers frequently use the ampersand as well?
