- Huge, huge respect to the Ohio State University Marching Band. Wow.
- “We’re incentivized in myriad ways to enact a false self on social media, but when we do, we lose something vital: the ability to experience life in the here and now. And ‘the here and now’ is where the true self lives.” On quitting Instagram.
- [color/shift] have released an initial beta via Creative Cloud Libraries of their linearized color swatches of Risograph ink colors. This is good.
- There’s a new edition of The Handmade Skateboard by Matt Berger coming out very soon which happens to include a really nice feature on my pal Luke (and moi). Ahem.
- Scribble Tone’s weird and fun WHOA variable typeface saw a nice update this week. Still trying to find a good project to use this on but glad to already have a license
- I dig Glen Fleishman’s Tiny Type Museum and Time Capsule. Only 10 left.
- Mota Pixel, a 48 font type family puts other pixel fonts to shame. It’s also free.
- CoType Foundry released the sci-fi inspired grid-based Betatron typeface this week. I have to admit it looks great in “that” blue.
- Somehow I missed that Nada Surf released the bonus tracks from the deluxe edition of Never Not Together on vinyl back in July. Guess who’s gonna drive down to San Jose to pick up a copy this weekend?
- Stewart Brand this week shared a great collection of photos from the making of The Whole Earth Catalog. Yes!
- Love the idea for Music Library Tracker for tracking changes in Apple Music.
- Mass Diver’s gradients tool is some next-level nerd tech. Thread with more info.
- Bookmarked — the new Typographica Library site.
- Dude, where's my 22nd century? Yup.
