Yeah, no problem. 1) That's just the way CloudApp handles zipped files. 2) That's because I didn't include the fonts that I used. Wouldn't have been appropriate to distribute them.

I've spoken to almost all of the founders of those companies and they've all been totally fine with it. If anything, they got some traffic, I got design practice and exposure, a few of the companies actually went on to change their site des

This is more for foot transport, and it's not a turn-by-street, but rather more literally a stand-in-place and turn-to-your-right type thing.

This is ridiculous. Why doesn't he spend more of his time and money building Google's customer service? Has everyone suddenly forgotten the Google Apps story from yesterday? They presumably stopped giving out free accounts to maximize profi
