I found a very nice free font resource today for PC or Mac. It’s got lots of fonts to choose from, plus it’s an easy site to use: you can sort and search files in several different ways (by category, name, etc.) and it has mouseovers that let you see the whole alphabet just [...]

My Project Mai Tai is now the proud owner of the #12 spot on MSN’s live search for a search term that we’re projecting over 3 people will search in the next decade! To celebrate this momentous milestone, I smiled briefly. I considered putting my fist into the air and saying, “Yes!” but [...]

I can’t get anything done!  I don’t know how much of it’s my ISP, but I’m hearing about a lot of outages and downtime.  One rumor I came across is that any domain registered to Network Solutions is going to be having trouble until 6 pm Eastern Standard time.
Great.  I finally get a few minutes [...]
