 del.icio.us
My links! Your links! Everybody's links!
All in one place! All online! Like to keep your favorites
close at hand? Want to remember that kick-ass site
you came across randomly while looking for something
else? Well, del.icio.us is for you. No scrounging
around in your browsers bookmarks tab. Not only is
it super user-friendly, it keeps track of all your
links by allowing you to tag them. Very cool. A tremendously
clever domain name to boot. I love it, I *know* you
will too.

 www.bancomicsans.com
An entire website against my least
favorite font! A most wonderful, excerpt from the
site: "Like the tone of a spoken voice, the characteristics
of a typeface convey meaning. The design of the typeface
is, in itself, its voice. Often this voice speaks
louder than the text itself. Thus when designing a
"Do Not Enter" sign the use of a heavy-stroked,
attention-commanding font such as Impact or Arial
Black is appropriate. Typesetting such a message in
Comic Sans would be ludicrous. Though this is sort
of misuse is frequent, it is unjustified. Clearly,
Comic Sans as a voice conveys silliness, childish
naivete, irreverence, and is far too casual for such
a purpose. It is analogous to showing up for a black
tie event in a clown costume."

A super-duper, informational, inspirational
website jammed-packed with all sorts of dorky design
stuff. And their logo is a squirrel. I fricken *love*
squirrels (and this site)!
