Notepad Rules
So, despite my repeated insistence that my next little project is an about page and other good stuff like that, my real next project has been getting a Cafepress store up and running. Not so much for people to buy stuff, but rather to make some microruns off stuff for myself to wear. I think a cap with a variant of my name would be pretty cool.
So the idea I've had for the graphic has been to use a variant of my signature chop seal (dojong). I own several, my favorite being in Arizona (of course). A really nice one is my name in the symbolic Chinese characters that signify what my name means, on several levels. I use it for all my cards or correspondence. I thought it would make a really nice logo. But, of course, I don't want to just scan and use it, for then anybody could use it. So I've been looking for two things:
a) What these symbols are, so I can write them.
b) Software or a font pack that could print them up as a nice graphic.
After discussing with my cousin last night, and after many hours searching on the internet, I get an idea. Why not see if the Microsoft language packs include something?
Lo an behold, they DO! So, I fire up notepad, type out my name in Korean, run the handy conversion subprogram built in to the language pack. Copy and paste, and viola! I have my graphic! Except for this mysterious symbol that I don't know what is. I think it's a seal symbol, which doesn't correspond to any Korean character.
Anyway, look out for my new golf shirt, coming to an online store near you soon.
