SOME RANDOM DUDE

I am certainly amazed, but I seemed to have continued to write at a steady pace throughout the entire crazy timeline. Things are starting to slow down again and I am making life-decisions to ensure that they continue to be that way. I have a couple other cool posts that will be coming down the pipe soon - make sure to drop by to check them out.

Enjoy the links.

More hand-picked links await your clicking for this week. As you can tell, I have once again been late with my links - my apologies. I have had my hands full with an interesting project for nearly the last month - this has eaten into my blogging time to a certain extent. Nonetheless, things are beginning to even out, so I should be back to my regular schedule soon.

Enjoy the links.

Lots of Flash/Actionscript links this week - I have been immersed in the Flash world a bit more than normally - that is my only explanation. As always, these links kept me quite busy with reading/viewing - I highly suggest each and every one. The 5 Freefonts You Shouldn’t Have Missed link is especially nice as you will be 5 fonts richer after reading it.

As always, feel free to drop your favorite links of the week.

Enjoy the links.

This discussion is pretty cut and dry - name your favorite fonts and why you like them so much. Be as detailed as possible - for example, there are font families that I really enjoy, but only in certain weights. I highly encourage you to also post a link to a specimen of the font (FontShop is a good resource for font specimens). Feel free to post as many as you like - I am going to try to do something fun with the results, so get as many people involved in this as you can. In addition for those of you who do not know, the more people that you get involved by commenting, the more I donate to a good cause.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts. I will be keeping this post open for a couple weeks to get as many responses as possible. Honestly, I would like to get over 50 people’s responses to this question. Post earlier and post often!

Update: I have posted this discussion again this week in the hope that more folks respond - obviously, I feel far short of the amount of comments I was hoping to get. Please, if you have not yet put in your two cents, take the short time to do so.design, dialog, discussion, favorite fonts, fonts typography
