This is all I want from my family.
Loud-Ass TV Ads Are Going to Be Outlawed at Midnight Tonight
Who says members of Congress (and the FCC) never get things done?
(Fear not, Fido. You won’t need that mute button anymore!)
And just like that, all of my dreams came true.
This new ad campaign from Edmonton, Alberta targets the growing problem of men who don’t consider it rape if a woman is too drunk to know what’s going on. The ads will be posted in men’s washrooms in bars and clubs, as well as in LRT stations and campus and entertainment newspapers
A new font tailored for people afflicted with dyslexia is now available for use on mobile devices, thanks to a design by Abelardo Gonzalez, a mobile app designer from New Hampshire. Gonzalez, in collaboration with educators, has selected a font that many people with dyslexia find easier to read. Even better, the new font is free and has already been made available for some word processors and ebook readers. The font, called OpenDyslexic, has also been added to the font choices used by Instapaper—a program that allows users to copy a web page and save it to their hard drive.
cool beans!
this is pretty nifty. if your iDevice is jailbroken you can use it in Bytafont also.
Yay for typographical advances!

THANK GOD.
It’s been a great run.
AmoeBAND became a 2012 IDEA Award Finalist by innovating every possible aspect of the plaster (band aid).
The design revisions were:
- Strategic cut-outs shape to fit fingers in such a way that it is easy to bend them and not disrupt the bandage.
- An intelligent dressing material allows you to regularly check wounds from the outside, without upsetting the healing process.“According to research, the when an infection of a wound is detected, the pH value is between 6.5 and 8.5. AmoeBAND’s indicator cross turns purple, alerting the user needs to change it immediately.”
- Since the bandage material used exudes a leather-like feel, availability in different skin-tones helps it blend in, without overly highlighting the injury.
- The packaging has been redesigned to a matchbox style and includes Braille instructions.
