The tsampa listing has been enriched with Ann Lachman’s Purple Mountain Tsampa. She takes mail orders, so you don’t have to live in Massachusetts to enjoy her meticulously produced white and purple tsampa.

Reportedly, the Institut Tibétain carries tsampa in its temple stores. For more info, see the tsampa listing. Thanks to Jan D’hulster for bringing this to my attention.

Simon Wickham-Smith kindly converted my Tibetan font for the Macintosh and bundled it with the documentation. There are separate versions for pre-OS X and OS X systems. They have not been tested extensively, but should work as expected. Thanks Simon!

I’ve done my share of manually registering and uploading personal copies of my beta-level Tibetan software. The steady trickle will be pleased to note that you can now grab both the QuizEngine and Tibword for Windows betas directly. That said, do keep in mind that this is unsupported and unreleased software. Stable enough for long-term use? Yes. Am I getting any younger? No.

Added Toronto-based Z-den’s Tsampa to my tsampa manufacturer listing. Thanks to Jamyang Dorjee at Tibetlink.com for bringing them to my attention.

As I get a steady number of inquiries about where to buy tsampa in the West, I started a listing. So far the only brand I am aware of is Sonam’s Tsampa. Shoot me an e-mail if you know of any other sellers/manufacturers.

Spent a couple of days and brought much of my Tibetan software and typeface projects online. The material ranges from previously released learning software to prototypes testing out such things as Tibetan speed reading and advanced quizzing. The jewel in the lotus is a preview of my main typeface currently known by its working name Tsampa Classic.
