It’s Friday - a great day to give you guys and gals a treat. I put together another mix tape for you. Nice!
My first one was generally a success and didn’t get an ounce of bad feedback, so I figured, “Why not do another?”

Just a couple months ago, Matt Danzico posted a video on his website asking for the goodwill of people around America to drive house and feed him on an 80 day trip around the U.S. I linked to it then, mentioning that I had offered him lodging and a ride. A few days ago, he showed up and stayed the night.

And I’d definitely like to know what people are naming as their price. You can put 0.00 in as the price.
I’m not usually one for pixel fonts, but this one is pretty nice. Bonus points for the fun effects one gets when playing with kerning and linespacing. Doubleplus good points in that you get the excellent Chameleon pixel icons as a part of the font. Well done, Dan!
Anna’s been writing some how-to articles lately on her crafty efforts around the house. This one has delicious results to which I can attest. She’s also been taking some amazing photos. Cool stuff!
