I love getting font foundry emails.

FontFont recently sent me one with these two gems (oldies but goodies):

Ayres Royal

New Standard

It’s been a long time since I remember someone talking about the cite element. It’s my favorite HTML element…

So, lets revisit:

Valid examples of the element:

<blockquote cite="http://yourreferencesite.com" title="Article, title, author, date">
<p>This is one paragraph</p>
<p>Yet another paragraph</p>
<p>Says: Your Source<a href=”http://yourreference.com”><cite>Your source:</cite>
</blockquote>

Aside: technically shouldn’t forum software use something like:

<dt id="n33"><cite><a href="/profile/">Author Name</a></cite><br /><strong>12.12.12 00-00-00</strong><br /><em>Title</em></dt>
<dd>
<blockquote cite=”#n33″>
<p>comment goes here</p>
</blockquote>
<p><small>Forum signature</small></p>
</dd>

Muxtape has been the popular thing lately (for a while now, to the coolest kids, anyways).

Brilliantly cool idea. It’s really simple and fun. The one thing missing is the ability to do an automated upload (API) or mass uploads (a flash uploader would be rad, like what wordpress is doing

I’ve been following Erik Natzke’s blog Jot for a while now. He’s an extremely talented artist. Check out this post about the NIN Ghosts community videos:

Trent Reznor is inviting people to contribute visuals to audio from his latest release, Ghosts. These are a few contributions I came up with today using some reclaimed footage.

Only really unfortunate thing is that it the videos need to be published to You Tube.
Here and Here are links to versions of them in much better quality.

Another excellent video found via Music Thing

I just absolutely love the sound and the use of color and design. It’s really a beautiful synergy.

A ridiculously spot-on video, found randomly on YouTube.

I would so buy this if it was available in the US.

Long time new MINI followers will probably remember MINI UK’s Flip Colour options that debuted in 2004. They featured multiple layers of metallic paint that actually gave the finished car a different color depending on the angle viewed from. In photos they looked merely interesting. In person however the effect was almost jaw-dropping.

I plan on posting one of these every few weeks, till I run out.
