Type Connection is a site that seems to be making its way around the innertubes these days because it tries to walk the tightrope between the banality of in-depth knowledge of typefaces and entertainment.  I managed to spend about two minutes on the site before a strong wind started shaking the tightrope and I sprinted to the end.

If you're into trying the Type Connection experience for yourself, you can visit their site here.  Or, if you're the up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, select, start type, you can skip the game and go here to download the "specimen_xxx.jpg" files that appear to have some value for future design projects.  I suggest you snag copies of these images soon before they turn off directory browsing.
