Supporting the Marquee

Because the original post could not be shared easily and the space is relevant to me to access perhaps for my Adobe User Group (it would be a great space) and I live in the community close to this place, I am reposting something from my Facebook feed that showed up today. The Marquee has applied to The Alcohol and

The Font Game

A website I recently came across is not only useful but interesting. The backwards process of Whatthefont.com where one is trying to identify a font from a graphic, the website fontsinuse.com does a great job of cataloging images in category, format and font listing. The images are explained as to origin and also the fonts are listed. This could easily

Music and the Shore #facebookfail

In somewhat the same vein as an article earlier this week, here I want to make a few points about how Facebook is pushing more the ‘pages I might like”. Today I was recommended a page to like.

Digging into some CSS. How’s that work again?

An interesting thing happened on Fab.com – a design and Pinterest leaning site. When a certain sideboard caught my eye I wanted to Pin it. I saw this come up in a pop out window: I wanted to not bother with the sales message. What then showed after an image refresh, but not a browser refresh was this: The code

Pearltrees. Social Worthy? Nah.

Pearltrees allows you to bookmark sites just like StumbleUpon. It mixes that function with the pinning and organizing approach of Pinterest. You can post notes and photos as well as the URLs, which are referred to as ‘pearls’. The folders you put them in and organize heirachically are called ‘pearltrees.

This USB Wallplug is a Household Peacemaker

ThinkGeek has an handy addition for my kitchen counter area. A wall plug with two USB conversion outlets for recharging devices. By including two USB ports in the wall plate next to the regular sockets I now do not have to keep unplugging the toaster and the coffee maker just to get my phone recharges with the adapter.
