I bought Lindsay a kitten for her birthday. We went to the Oregon Humane Society and picked her up yesterday after visiting a couple stores to buy pet supplies. She’s about three months old, entirely grey, and very tiny. She’s also extremely friendly and talkative. All-in-all I’d say she’s a pretty awesome cat. The only hitch? She’s still figuring out the whole bathroom thing, apparently. So far she has peed on my bed twice, pooped once on the hardwood floor, and once in her litter. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she’ll figure this whole thing out in the next day or so.
Late Thursday night I got hit hard by a sore throat, and less than 24 hours later it turned into a full fledged head cold. I think things are finally starting to get better, and if it wasn’t for Zicam I think I’d be out for the count.
I like watching this video by David Stillman when I start to miss ol’ Chico, CA.
Swiss Miss describes Svpply as “basically ffffound but for retail items.” I think that’s a great description.
Checkout 3 is so awesome looking it makes me want to open a retail store just so I could put it to use.
Incredible.
Emigre released two new font families today, designed to accompany Mrs Eaves: Mr Eaves Sans and Mr Eaves Modern.
If I could go on an endless shopping spree for clothing, this would be my first stop.
Laura Ashbrook Compton (or, LAC) is a designer living and working in Seattle. She was very kind and gave this blog a little shout out on Twitter today, resulting in a number of new people subscribing to my updates. Thanks, Laura. Hopefully I can return the favor. (That means everyone should go check out her blog right now.)
This is a great tool for figuring out how to use the least amount of paper on a project you’re getting ready to send to press. I know Molly will love this. [Via]
I was having a hard time getting Illustrator to do what I wanted it to this morning, and Jono was kind enough to put together these instructions for me. Worked like a charm.

I’m a little late writing about this, but I attended the Tina Roth Eisenberg talk at Wieden+Kennedy last week. It’s always nice seeing a presentation given by someone whose website you frequently visit, because you get a chance to see that the person behind that site is a real human being and not just some robot churning out links and articles one-after-another. One of these days, if my blog becomes hugely popular, I’ll give a presentation too and prove that I’m not a robot either. But for now, you’ll have to take my word for it.
