A proposal for improving literacy
This could very well beat seeing your name in crackers.

No serifs mixin with san-serifs here so this should get by the Family-Friendly-Traditional-Values committee no? :-)

You can get your own name or check out the whole alphabet over here.

  TikiRobot begrudgingly supports homotypography if it means improving literacy. But remember the Slippery Slope! So wet and well-lubricated. Mmmm… homotypography..
  
  Some statistics:
  
  One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives. Many do not even graduate from high school.
  58% of the US adult population never reads another book after high school.
  42% of college graduates never read another book.
  80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.
  70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
  57% of new books are not read to completion.
