Design vs Sleep: the Plot Thickens...

Okay guys, i found this yesterday, and have been positively itching to post this ever since. At some point (theoretically) i'll have time to write a little bit more in depth about it (i've got a great post brewing about my adoption of technology and design as a gendered action) but for now you've got to

It's "Smashing Magazine" - while it reports itself to be a blog that "smashes you with the information that will make your life easier." it's a blog that's really more of a design nirvana for those who already know a little some some and want to play the classy way. It has some amazingly hip and entirely usable fonts that you can download and - get this - every month they release a new set! They also have a great collection of free downloadable wordpress themes. Time-consuming highlights also include great youtube/vimeo collections of the best movie intros, music videos, and short animations.

Go play!
You'll be up till 3, but you'll thank me next time you need to author a PDF to get asses in seats.

Happy New Year!

Here, on this cold 2009 morning, i present to you what we're going to change in 2009.
Or, perhaps more precisely, that we will change in 2009, but need money to do so.

I was at the Amanda Palmer show last night (till oh...5:45 am...) to ring in the new year and she said something along the lines of: "this year it's different, because there's this great weird atmosphere in the air. People everywhere have had such a horrible year, but they're excited. It's not often that those two things happen at the same time."

Please consider starting the year off right and supporting the A.O. Movement Collective!
