More girls than boys?  I am a boy, after all!  Also, just fyi, "Whitney" is a girls' name as well as a boys' name.

The apparent obsession with "Bill" is merely apparent; I was more obsessed with trying to get the graphic form the way I wanted it (I still don't like it, but I don't feel like tinkering with it any more).

I think it's a bit over the top for me.  I am a much simpler man than this font would imply.

pretty cool, there, OC!
