Stuff from my in-box, 15 Aug 07

August 15th, 2007

In no particular order:

Chickenhead.com Comic Strip

  • Deliciously inappropriate:
  • The Osmonds are reuniting.  Tickets range from $75-$125?!  Um, I’ll just go as far as digging out my purple socks, thankyouverymuch.
  • Fetus makes friends on Facebook.  Everyone else is doing it…  Why not? If you want to friend Bubba
  • Très interesting article on fonts of the 1970s.
  • Speaking of fonts, I’m really loving this Le Monde font from Font Shop.  (While you’re checking it out, you might as well download this month’s free fonts.)
  • And STILL speaking of fonts, House Industries is having a sale!?!  Their email said they will continue adding new items through Sept. 15.  (Ed Benguiat is whispering in my ear.  And Sofie just might need the Alexander Girard Alphablocks.)
  • Sierra Club’s not happy about “made in China” crap, and is threatening to sue.
  • The latest and greatest web site for Zaca Fire info.  I awoke this morning to find a lot of ash blew in through the kitchen window, covering all of the dishes I washed and left to dry last night and all of Sofie’s bottles.  Now I get to wash everything all over again.  sigh.  Oh yeah, and Sofie’s daycare provider, Lisa, told me last week about her friend seeing these t-shirts being sold.  At first, I thought it was an obscene attempt to capitalize on the situation…  unless proceeds were going to a charitable cause.  I hadn’t thought about the firefighters as the main consumers though…  Yeah, I’d want one, too.
  • This email from Patmo:

I found this beautiful summer poem and thought it might help make your day. It did make mine, and it’s very well written. 

” Summer “  a poem by Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre
