Since I'm once again doing design/font work,

if you didn't know, there's cooler letter-testing phrases than "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

I spent the last week scraping through a terabyte of GeoCities archives and collecting ALL THE #88x31 buttons! In the end, I gathered 29257 unique buttons (75k with duplicates). They are available at https://hellnet.work/8831/

Check them out!

I also have the dataset (~160MB), stats and a bit about the scraping process here: https://hellnet.work/8831/stats.html

If you have a chance, make sure to visit the Smithsonian Nation Museum of American History exhibit featuring the work of Susan Kare at Design your Own Icon, a hands-on exhibit where you flip black and white tiles to create your own icon on the screen. 😀
