Google Font Directory
Google has put out a free font directory which not only lets you download it but also lets you embed it right from google’s URL. After that you can style the font in CSS, even put a drop shadow effect if you feel like it. With a little script, you can have more control over how the font looks before and after it loads into the browser. So far there is 18 fonts available. It is so very wonderful to have selectable beautiful text.

Someone had the nerve to send us a ‘hit and run’ email telling us to not use Flash for our client’s sites. Here’s my response to that…

Keara and Tiffany
We are sad because it is Tiffany’s last day with us at Metrik. We are happy because she starts work at Apple as an intern on Monday!
We had a nice lunch at Axis Cafe where this photo was taken. We wish her the best of luck and will miss her dearly! Hopefully she’ll come visit us often!

A friend of mine has been working on this for the past 10 and a half months – this is the beta version… Curious to see how it works-
“Glass is a virtual sheet of glass over the entire web where you can literally place notes on any website.
Now, instead of sending a link, your contacts see your thought together with the moment that inspired it, in context, allowing you to share the experience of being there.”

Who knew that not only Jeff Bridges but also Collin Farrel could sing country twang?! As much as I’ve always appreciated old country music from the ’40’s – 60’s, something about this film made we appreciate country music all over again. I’m really not into it. really. But maybe it’s a sign of just how simple and fun country song stories can be that is refreshing in comparison to the ‘trying to be significant’ indie music that the kids all rush to these days. I like them both but simple strumming can be nice and pure every now and again. Check out the Crazy Heart movie… you won’t be disappointed.

Worldwide Telescope website
“The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a computer program created by Microsoft running under either a Microsoft Windows client or a new cross platform web client based on Silverlight which allows its users to view outer space. It was announced at the TED Conference in Monterey, California in February, 2008. Users are able to pan around outer space and zoom as far into any one area as the data will allow. Images are taken from the Hubble Space Telescope and approximately ten earth-bound telescopes. It is possible to view the sky in many wavelengths of light.” – Read about it more on Wikipedia.
