Smashing magazine just did a great post on 40+ free fonts for professionals. If you’re like me, you’re always on the look for a killer free font - I like to hunt at places like dafont.com - but it’s hard to find clean, professional typefaces. There are some great fonts here, so check ‘em out.
Looking at things under a microscope can reveal fascinating unknown details. This includes the fantastic colors of the microscopic world. Our friends over at ColourLovers have a great post featuring some beautiful shades of a nature. Check ‘em out.

So its finally here, and the integration between Adobe and the former Macromedia products has begun in earnest. Although it was interesting to hear about the new products and some nice new features, the most interesting part in watching the live Web cast was seeing the breakdown of technology happen once again. Midway through the Web cast the video that was hooked into the computers so we could all see the demonstrations must have gone bad - bad cable, bad video, bad computer - who knows - except we were all given a “5 minute” bathroom break as they took care of the problem. In looking at the software and thinking about computers, it is amazing how far we have come, yet it amazes me how often I watch a few technological problems bring a big presentation to a temporary halt. It happens so often, that at times its amazing when everything goes off without a hitch.
