Free embeddable fonts for your website. You know, if you ever want to do that sort of thing.

“The point of a Not To Do list is to prioritize, not just from the top down, but from the bottom up as well. What you don’t do is important because what you leave out makes way for things that are more important.”

Great roundup of good monospaced fonts to use in your favorite text editor. I am now officially smitten with Droid Sans Mono (12pt).

“On the morning of June 30, 1908, the sky exploded over a remote region of central Siberia. A fireball as powerful as hundreds of Hiroshima atomic blasts scorched through the upper atmosphere, burning nearly 800 square miles of land. Scientists today think a small fragment of a comet or asteroid caused the "Tunguska event,” so named for the Tunguska river nearby. Now, a controversial new scientific study suggests that a chunk of a comet caused the 5-10 megaton fireball, bouncing off the atmosphere and back into orbit around the sun. The scientists have even identified a candidate Tunguska object—now more than 100 million miles away—that will pass close to Earth again in 2045. Is there a hidden, but powerful, danger inside the seemingly harmless comet?“

David Pogue gives an overview of the new MiFi. A new service/hardware option available from the cellular companies. It will give you your own private wifi cloud and is small enough to fit in your pocket. Kind of brilliant and amazing.

To quote Steve Jobs, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

Looks like JPG Magazine has managed to fight it’s way back from the brink of death. Actually, they did in fact flatline and the doctors called the time but they miraculously came back to life with new investors and a promise to publish again. Kind of amazing considering the current state of publishing.
