Depression Press has uploaded a Flickr photoset of scans from a type book called Examples of Modern Alphabets: Ornamental and Plain and the contents are truly outstanding. The book contains about 50 pages of hand-drawn typefaces and lettering, all intracately designed and painstakingly detailed.
The book was published in 1864 which explains the look of the majority of the characters inside. Definitely something to bookmark for inspiration later.

As I mentioned earlier, the Mac OS Expand Window button (the green one) is completely stupid.
The image above shows the expanded window state for my browser. Yeah, I can see a lot more of what I was looking at before now. -_-
Below is a perfect example of the inconsistencies of the button within Mac OS. If you push the Expand Window button in iTunes, the window actually goes into compact mode which makes absolutely no sense for a button that’s called Expand. If you think it’s isolated to the music library window, then you’re mistaken, because this same result happens when you push the Expand button in the Equalizer window too!

Smashing Magazine has compiled a neat list of great examples of tilt-shift photography (both fake and real).
I enjoy manipulating some of my photos sometimes to make them seem like I shot them with a tilt-shift lens. I like that feeling of being able to look at a picture and feel like I’m either up in the clouds or a giant looking down at everything. Haha…
