Flipping typical: preview text & compare your fonts easily

Created by Stuart Robinson way back in 2009, Flipping Typical allows you to explore the different font options on your computer. It’s easy to forget how much gold you have on your own machine. Better than the font visualisation in Adobe, or Font book, that’s for sure. 

The Butcher Shop

Awesome online art supply store in Australia. Their selection of Markers is next level. And super affordable. $10.00 for a Krink Mop is just crazy!

Tools for better thinking | Untools

A collection of thinking tools and frameworks to help you solve problems, make decisions and understand systems. I haven’t dug too deeply here. But will definitely be spending some time over the coming weeks lookijng at where I can polish up my problem solving and design thinking skills. Noice!

‘My Duduś’. A woman and a squirrel

Super touching short film about a woman and a squirrel. Worth your 8 minutes. 

Heavy-duty e-bike for the win

I’m not really an e-bike fan but this mad piece of utilitarian design looks like it would be an awesome addition to city streets. Allowing small business to easily manage deliveries of a more bulky nature. And it looks rad!

Defender-style minivans are awesome

Speaking of looking rad! DAMD convert Japans most popular mini-van into a post-apocalyptic, defender-style, camper. It looks so hawt! Not sure how it would go off-road but I love it. And still want one. I wish I could understand the video on the page also. It looks wild!

The future of Electricity?

This looks like a step toward becoming a Type A civilisation. Although, the soundtrack on the demonstration video is a touch creepy. Kind of puts me in mind of Matrix/Terminator-style AI’s developing their own power systems. But you know that’s probably just my overactive imagination.

Burning the eggs

Loving this idea for a candle. Via swissmiss

Listening to

Another tight mix from Paul at Jervis bay Brewing Co. One of my favourite clients made even sweeter by incredibly similar tastes in music. Check out all their mixes on Spotify.

Watching Colin from Accounts

Another awesome piece of Australian TV. Thoroughly enjoyed this and smashed it in two or three sittings. Worth a watch
