The Chipper

  • Seth Godin: The Media, Selling The Drama.
  • Glarkware has a badass Cylon toaster shirt for sale. WANT!
  • OS Form Elements: Layered PSDs for the form elements of 3 major browsers. Helpful for mockups. (via JSM)

  • This is How We Do. Frank Chimero's process for incorporating hand-drawn style into vector illustrations.
  • There is a moment... When there is no higher high, simultaneously pitted against the possibility of being confronted by one of the lowest lows. I love this post. Bonus!

I’m holding out for at hero ‘till the end of the night / He’s gotta be strong / And he’s gotta be fast / And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

Ok, I know that’s over the top, but I’d like to introduce you to Silas Dilworth’s new “Heroic Condensed”. If you’re a fan of condensed, slab sans-serifs like I am, then you’ll understand my enthusiasm. Available in 8 weights, and currently 33% off from its regular price, it’s hard to resist grabbing this up.
