I have linked to Mike Perry before. Today I found one of his sites all about Midwest design. Kind of like a who is who and where list.

Working with Air

I have been using a MacBook Air for the last week and am liking it so far. In an effort to get ready to turn in the machine I have been using for the last three years I am trying to get used to working on a clean machine. That means no Dreamweaver or Photoshop etc. SO all of the links from here on out are hand coded in TextEdit. Pardon any mistakes or broken links.

TtV Goodness

I love a new photo technique that I can understand and execute myself. While browsing File Magazine I found the technique known as TtV, or Through the Viewfinder. Read all about it here and see examples here. I am going to give this a try as soon as I get back to the US and my camera's are unpacked.

FontStruct

I got an email from the Font Shop last week letting me know about a new tool for creating and sharing type called FontStruct. Lots to see and experiment with. I can not imagine the amount of code that went into this. Amazing.
