Don't create ads in Urban Slang if you don't know what they mean
A wonderfully funny example of pitifully researched marketing.
TypeNavigator
I keep forgetting this is here. Wonderful visual search to find a typeface. I wish someone would create a piece of software that can do the same thing with the type on my hard drive.
The Hughtrain
Great manifesto on the reality of brands and the marketplace.
Color Palette Generator
Very, very cool tool that will take any photo - you can upload your own - and create a color palette from it.
Cringely on iPods
Interesting thinking about the iPod craze with a historical slant.
iLap Laptop Stand
Protect your lap, boys. ;)

About Type Navigator: There is one that works with the fonts on your drive.

It's not as elegant, but comes in handy. Maybe one day I will write one myself...

On the Mac, Panther's built-in FontBook does the same exact thing: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/fontbook/

The most important thing is knowing. Everything will work out if you just remember to breathe. Chocolate is not for sharing. Beauty is everywhere if you just remember to look for it. Perfection is impossible but improvement can happen every single day. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. Make a wish. Dance when the music moves you. If it's hard to say, odds are it's what the listener most needs to hear. Wear a new colour. Do that thing that scares you. Love as often as possible.
