Though this article is a way for Space to sell their new theme, I can attest to the information provided being very useful in-and-of itself. It's a strong overview of the fundamentals of typography and basic rules to follow for strong visua

I understand this concern and think about it quite a bit myself. Is whatever I'm working on worthwhile? Who does it help, exactly? The fact of the matter is that the problems people have in Big City, CA may be vastly different than those in

I just want to point out that you're making a gross over-generalization by saying that you were "shocked at how dilapidated the place looks" as though it were a 250 sq. foot (~23 m^2) apartment. The continental US is 3,794,101 sq. miles (

It's a simple case of the company lawyer(s) overdoing a CYA clause and standing by it. However, the company seems to have gladly taken your call to discuss it with you, and then consult their lawyers regarding the potential for a change. Wh

Are you from New York? Reason I ask is because I am and even born-and-raised New Yorkers don't mind talking to strangers (or are you just talking about parts of Brooklyn?). ...just don't be a creep or do it on the subway.

What's going to be interesting to me, now, is whether or not this will cause developers (more specifically, service and not game developers) to start to look more seriously at web-only apps, as opposed to native. You're thinking, "the perfo

I just want to second this recommendation. It's a very thorough collection, quite stable, and helpfully has IE Developer Toolbar preinstalled on IE5 and up.

No, no, no, no, no! This tripe has been circulating the 'net for a while and it really bothers me to see this gain some semblance of acceptance/traction. Yes, studies show that poorly set text causes you to spend more time reading it becaus

Actually, point #2 is wrong. Most of the major foundries have their own font licensing system these days (or it's a work-in-progress). It's not the greatest solution since you can't have all your licensed fonts in, say, TypeKit, but it's no
