.webfont Proposal

Also on Web Standardistas: a summary of Tal Lemming's and Erik van Blokland's .webfont Proposal. It appears we're on the verge of a serious step forward for web typography and this proposal has significant support: FontFont, Emigre, H&FJ, House, Process.

Stéfan Le Dû has an inspired Stormtrooper Flickr set.

BustBright, the people that brought us the amazing Erik Nitsche Flickr sets, have done it again with a superb Science Ad set.

Thanks go to Nate again at Design Feast for letting me know.

Update: Derrick and Katie at BustBright are trying to identify the designers responsible so if anyone's got any ideas, leave them comments on Flickr.

Lijit Widget

I've reinstated a search widget over there on the left. The first time I did it it didn't work. Not sure if it will this time but I'm told it'll take 48 hours to catalogue Ace Jet so we won't know until Friday.

Toss a tortoise for charity

With the help of Aardmann, Rubber Republic are torturing animals for a good cause. 

Team Rubber man Adam, explains Creature Discomforts...

"I'm working with Leonard Cheshire disability in spreading the awareness on a new range of beautifully animated (by Aardman) viral games designed for disabled people as part of their "change the way you see disability" campaign. To give you an idea of how each game in the series is unique - the first game of the series, 'Flyzz' featuring Callum The Chameleon, carries an 'audio only' option making it the only flash game that is accessible to the blind."

Beat my pathetic score here.
