Svpply
Swiss Miss describes Svpply as “basically ffffound but for retail items.” I think that’s a great description.
LAC, Inc.
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.)
Checkout 3 is so awesome looking it makes me want to open a retail store just so I could put it to use.
Renourish project calculator
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]
Abraham and Issac. Sam Weber’s art is so beautiful it makes my heart ache.
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.
Adventures of Power
Incredible.
For those of you Mac users, here’s a little tip I was able to take advantage of this week: Apple will gladly replace your Apple branded wireless products at no cost — and regardless of how old they are — as long as they are currently in use by a Mac that has an AppleCare plan. My five-year-old Airport Express router finally took its last breath on Friday and after a quick call to Apple’s support line I had a replacement mailed to me overnight.
A couple weekends ago, all of us at Parliament packed our bags and brought our loved ones with us for a weekend trip to Lincoln City. Our Prime Minister Chris was incredibly generous and booked us two big ol’ beach houses to stay in and made sure we had plenty of food and drink to stuff into our bellies. I seriously can’t say this enough: I really couldn’t work with a better group of guys.
My parents visited Portland a couple weekends ago. I am so happy they were able to visit and explore the city with Lindsay and I.
I changed my mind about the whole second blog thing. I don’t know who I was kidding thinking I’d go from rarely posting anything on one blog to suddenly maintaining two separate blogs. But, I still want to use my FarewellNovember domain, so I am going to be using it here from now on.
Glo
This software looks great, and I am eagerly awaiting the Mac version.
