Antarctica, Narrated By Morgan Freeman

I couldn't decide on a song to lay over top of my Antarctica videos, so instead I used sound clips from The Shawshank Redemption. Because nothing says Antarctica like penguins and the disembodied voice of Morgan Freeman. Enjoy!

Snowman Killer!

There's a snowman killer in Crawley, UK. I've immortalized his handiwork in a Kerned Event. With a nod to Biill Waterson, dead snowman pioneer.

I love Dribbble!

Behind this mysterious page is a creative wonderland where people share glimpses of works in progress. Dribbble is a creative huddle hilariously themed with basketball metaphors, and easily my new favorite hideout on the web. The site is in beta (pre-season, even) but I had the good fortune to be drafted by my friend Grant (aka Splorp). Which is great, because otherwise I probably would have ended up playing for some obscure farm team website in Moosejaw.

The doomsday clock

Constant readers might know that I participate in a weekly typographic showcase at Veer called Kerned Events, where we create type samples inspired by current event headlines. My turn is on Wednesdays. From now on, I'll be simul-posting mine here every week, but only if they're good. If they're not good, I'll just sit in a corner and cry and eat crackers.

This week I chose the article Doomsday Clock Moved Back One Minute. I'ts good news, if you ignore that the harbinger timepiece is still saying we are minutes from global annhilation. And for bonus fun-points, I chose three fonts that pun on the theme: Appointment With Danger & Anytime Now by Device and Recovery by TypeTrust.

Office Worker Hobo Code

Being a hobo is hard work (I imagine) but so is going to the office everyday. That's why fellow hobologist Darcy Whiteside and I have devised the Office Worker Hobo Code, to help you help each other. Arm yourself with a Sharpie and Post-Its, then tag areas of your office to share your knowledge.

Then tag your own workspace with three free wallpapers for your computer or iPhone.
