PR Flack Resigns From NASA
Dude was a 24-year-old Bush appointee, and was trying to squash NASA’s global warming scientists. Oh, and he never graduated college. (via)
Cokemachineglow.
Looks a lot like Stylus (used to), reads about as well as Pitchfork, but has its own twist on new music.
The Presets.
I copped “Girl and the Sea” from MFR last year and I love it.
Presidate.
Great spoof.
The Art of Copper.
I don’t read this comic, but this step-by-step tutorial is real nice. I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing. (and I want to try a Crow Quill pen again…)
Identifont
I’ve written about this before, but I couldn’t find it in my own archives. It may take a while, and it’s weighted towards upper-case letters (difficult when you have a lower-case-weighted example) but it does an excellent job.
Album Of The Week 1.22.06
Beck, Guero. An excellent follow-up to Sea Change. Varying syles, subtle use of sampling (dig the backbeat in E-Pro) and lots of lush texturing. I like it more each time I hear it. Bonus: Check out “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” from the Eternal Sunshine soundtrack.
Django Project
I’ve not used Python before, but this looks like it’s interesting.
Font Explorer X.
I’m testing out an alternative to Suitcase-a free utility from Linotype for managing fonts on OS X. More to follow.
