The Return of the "Type Trends Eye Chart"
I originally posted this on Dribbble, like, a year ago? Yeah, actually - exactly a year ago. As such, some of the font complaints are a little out of date, but still widely used. You’ll still get the joke, I hope.
It’s always been one of my most-viewed items, but I’ve moved my websites around a bunch since then. As such, I get a ton of poor folks visiting the ERROR page when...

16,000 to 2,500 Fonts: The Great Purge
I was a font addict. I torrented gigantic files, didn’t look at what was included and just added them to my font manager. I never even installed 10% of them. I just felt awesome by having more. And then just a little more. I should correct that. I was a font hoarder.
Remember fontasm.com? Or maybe it was fontazm? Either way, it was the difficult to navigate precursor to DaFont.com from the...

This Font Rocks: But Nope, I Didn't Make Feel...
Due to the the massive popularity of Pinterest, and someone’s (not sure if this is the person or not, if it is, thanks for the nice gesture! I appreciate it!) original post of my age-old font test using Feel Script, it has been decided by the community that I created the font.
As much as I would love to be a proponent of this awesome rumor, I can’t take credit for it. I like to...

Apartment Tour (Kinda...)
We moved into our apartment about 6 months ago, and we’ve just now started decorating and bringing out the stuff we’ve collected over the last year or two. Chris and I love buying vintage, so I have been getting the living room set up with some of my favorite pieces. I just wanted to post the progress so far!
We’re working on a chalk wall in this room as well. I’ll post...

Wordpress, Portfolio & Tumblr
I’m working on getting all of this set up. Everything is pretty much done, including linking my Tumblr and my Wordpress backwards and forwards. I will be moving my work from my Cargo site over the next day or so. In the meantime, you can still view my stuff there:

This is an amazing (one of the best I’ve seen on the entire Internet) curation of photography, design, industrial design and architecture. The site itself is minimal, easy to navigate and let’s the work shine. I love everything about it! Thanks to Rebecca Targ for the heads up about it!

I’m sure you’ve seen it, but in the case that you haven’t check out this link. It’s not only gorgeous, but it’s also my desktop background! Huzzah!

Design Space: Part 1
I started designing on a desktop computer, like most people, quite a while ago. All kid stuff aside (let’s fast-forward from my Kid Pix days at dad’s desk). My first *real* computer was the original iMac. It was the aqua one, and I got it before I even knew there would be colors. Something I was very salty about for years to come. How Sweet-16-an-Escalade-isn’t-good-enough of me....

Oh, look! I've got a blog now.
Yeah, it’s 2012. Blogs are so 2001. I think I’ve been through just about every blogging platform since the dawn of web logs and never kept a single one in operation. I even had a DeadJournal because my mom wouldn’t let me use her credit card to buy a LiveJournal account.
Anyway, back to the point of this. As I just said, it’s 2012. Since the end of the world is coming...
