GLITCH

This posts tests out Lucas Bebber's Glitch effect, in a few incremental steps, as explained and coded (and modified) in "Glitch Effect on Text / Images / SVG" by Chris Coyier, css-tricks.com, 08.September.2014. Found via css-tricks' twitter feed @Real_CSS_Tricks.

etymo note: Obsus, obsidian & habasha

Obsus, obsidian, ar./semitic ḥabasha.
However Abyssinia could be from the Greek a- (for negation) + byssos (depth), denoting a land in the far deep (south).
If Abyssinia's chief ancient export was from the Obsus, then it would indicate the whole country got its name from it.

Sharp market research

This diagram from
http://www.sinus-institut.de/loesungen/microm-geo-milieus.html
that i’d come across seems insightful: socioeconomic partitions vs. sociopolitical attitudes or inclinations.
I'm afraid, so far, the diagram is reproduced here without the authors' or publishers' (Sinus institut) permission.
