The legendary Robert Palladino

Most people who make the front page headlines of The New York Times eventually pass into total obscurity where they belong. However, if you make the obituaries of the the NYT you may actually be a person of enduring interest.

Today, the Trappist monk and calligrapher Robert Palladino was honored with a gracious, accurate and only slightly biased obituary.

Biased because the reason Palladino probably made these exclusive obituaries is that he inspired Steve Jobs' love of beautiful fonts while teaching calligraphy at Reed College.

Biased because the Times obit writer summarized Palladino's fascinating life with a final sentence mentioning that he never owned or ever used a computer. Why mention something that had absolutely nothing to do with the subject's life and work?

Otherwise, this was an informative article about a talented monk and legendary calligrapher absent the usual NYT politically correct psycho-babble-innuendos directed towards Christians.
