For the Type uninformed: Arial on the other hand is often considered a knock-off of Helvetica, and a bad one at that. via ipleadthefirst – Typography of the Web: Arial and Helvetica And I too, would highly recommend Helvetica the documentary. If you’ll promise to return it, I’ll let you borrow.

Andy Rutledge’s USA.gov redesign

Exerpt from one of the greatest reads on the interwebs this week: You may or may not know it, but the United States government has a website. USA.gov is dubbed the US government‚Äôs official web portal. There you can find information for citizens, businesses, government employees, and visitors to the US. Like many government websites,…

Gola, bad for the budget.

I don’t own that many pairs of shoes, but if I had a bad spending habit or large amounts of un-earmarked cash I’d spend it on pairs like the Gola Cruise. And I’d find a matching belt. And just for the record, I’m not gay.

I mux’d again.

The Big Picture

The Boston Globe started a section on their website a month or two ago called ‘The Big Picture’ that depict News Stories in Photographs. And it’s awesome. Some really great pictures including this set put up yesterday of preparations in China for the upcoming Olympics: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/07/beijing_2008_preparations_thre.html

Nerd humor

The guys at Gizmodo posted a pretty humorous idea for you geeks out there. Instead of going with the standard naming on your WiFi router at home like Linksys or 2wire3401, set it to something that your neighbors will always see when they are looking for a connection.
