Hello? Is this thing on?
I wasn’t going to post anything about Blogger getting hacked today, because it’s been making the rounds all afternoon and is pretty much beaten to death already.

If you got it, flont it.
Web-based typeface previewing tools are a bit old hat. However, the font consuming public still expects that if you sell type, your site should be able to display type in ways beyond the static jpeg. To this point, we launched a crisp, clean type previewer called Flont last week on the Veer site. We realize … More

Two quick things.
Grant Neufeld has been mucking about with his own stylesheet for RSS, just in case you’d like to pretty up your raw XML for browsers that don’t handle that particular function themselves. Here’s an example of what it looks like. For comparison, the W3C RSS feed is also formatted using the same technique. And seeing … More
