saschisch:
Google has been working with a number of talented font designers to produce a varied collection of high quality open source fonts for the Google Font Directory. With the Google Font API, using these fonts on your web page is almost as easy as using the standard set of so-called “web-safe” fonts that come installed on most computers.

CQRS isn’t the answer – it’s just one of the... →

Rogers iPad Data Plans Disappoint, No Fido Support →
Rogers released their pricing for iPad plans and customers are disappointed, to say the least. Be sure to read the comments. PS: Rogers, really? No Fido?

Thimble for Tumblr theme development →
This will change my life. Thank you!
Thimble is a PHP tool I put together to make Tumblr theme development a bit easier. It’s a simple application that allows you to test out your theme locally (or on another server) before moving it into Tumblr’s customize page. It’ll protect your fingers from all that tedious copy-pasting.
