My public Dopplr profile →
I’m still in love with Dopplr – I don’t have any good use for it at all, but its UI is just gorgeous and fun to use. Had to try out their new public profile feature. Give it a shot and let’s share trips!
13 typefaces every graphic designer needs →
I’d add one good slab serif (i.e. one of my all-time favourites, Lubalin Graph) to that list. Other than that I love the selection – big yay for Gotham and Bodoni.

Newwork Magazine →
Much like Editor & Art Director, Newwork is amazingly well done. I’d love to see those spreads in person. We need more publications of this visual quality here in Europe. Via monoscope.

An epic Bill Gates rant →
I laughed for a long, long time. Then I was stunned. They do actually realize their products suck? I never would’ve thought of that.

On-demand magazine printing: another business webified.
I just added a little fly-out menu to my sidebar that lists the tumblelogs I follow. Some of them are close friends, others feature a beautiful design or keep flooding the world with great content. So if you care, have a look and follow some of them yourself. Lots of great stuff out there!

News from The Whip →
Get Weird turn Pro: “The Whip return with new single ‘Blackout’ on July 14th. It’s inspired by what used to happen at iconic Manchester club The Hacienda when DJs cut the lights at the peak of tunes and everyone shouted ‘blackout’.” Needless to say: download link included.
