Techmology Frenzy
I keep bumping into new technologies thingies today. It seems like web 2.0 is really pumping out some new ideas lately...
Thumbstacks: Online presentation creation and playback. Cool idea (one that I've had for my capstone for a while), but I think the execution is a little weak so far. I have a feeling they're gonna put some sort of lame Web 2.0 skin on it to try to fix the UI...but it's a kind of broken UI at this point. (Thanks for the link, Kynthia)
Skobee: Make plans with people and related stuff. Sort of like Evite, but prettier. I'd like to try this with some of my IU friends...anybody up for it?
Zoho Creator: This is a little tool that helps people program little web widgets without needing to know how to program. Seems like a cool idea.
That's enough for now...

It is time we set fonts free
Here is a great article and comment thread on the topic of browser fonts. I agree that we as designers should be outraged that there are such huge limits in type choice on the web. Choice of font does matter, and it is important to give designers the freedom to make web content as easy to read as possible.
Anyway, give it a read...and don't call me a Type Geek ;-)
