A Badass Way to Connect Programs Together

Major supporter of this thinking, and did several sketches in this direction a few years ago: http://www.illucia.com/

Made of: 1) a suite of interconnectable videogames & apps and 2) physical patchbays to connect them

Came from thinking about software like modules in a modular synth. Playgrounds of interconnectable control structures. Was patching games into samplers, slaving text editors to drum machines, etc.

It's 'Square Serif Medium' (Look at the css, or do Right Click => Inspect Element in your browser)

Side A: I use http://chengyinliu.com/whatfont.html to quickly check the fonts on a page with Safari, other browsers may have similar tools too.
