I’ve started visiting kottke.org as part of my morning sites to visit session. I’ve come across some great links there, among them:

Programmer fonts. Anyone who writes a lot of code (HTML or real code) might have noticed that the default fonts used in Windows are a pain in the ass to code with. Courier New and System are just plain ugly if you ask me. The first few links on that page are really handy, and I’ve been using Sheldon myself for my programming purposes. Works like a charm.

Tricks of the Trade. I like this one:

Graphic Designer

If you have a client who is unable to approve a proposed design without putting her stamp on it, just put an obvious error in the proposal: a logo that’s too large, a font that’s too small, or a few judiciously seeded typos. The client requests the change and feels she’s done her part, and your design, which was perfect all along, sails through to approval.
