I found a great website for tons of free fonts. I just needed more “script” fonts and downloaded a zipped file of about 25 different ones in no time.

Because less CSS is more! If you check the link i’ve included below, you’ll see that something new is possibly afoot in the land of CSS and that is poosible to do ‘less css’ using ‘LESS’.
Less allows for variables, mix-ins, operations and other stuff like that — I’m still trying to understand it but i think it’s exciting and if I’ had a twitter account i’d finally have something to give a tweet about

This site offers over a thousand logos (most of them really nice) which people can rate on a scale of one-to-ten so you can see how the world ‘views’ the logos. I disagree with most of the ratings and I think most of you will too, but by looking at them you can see how brand loyalty and brand experience play into what does or doesn’t make a logo ‘good’: http://www.goodlogo.com/top.250/n/250/interval/1
