Color of the Year

Pantone, the authority on Color, officially named PANTONE 14-0848 Mimosa as the color of the year for 2009, named for the bright flowers of the mimosa tree: "In a time of economic uncertainty and political change, optimism is paramount and no other color expresses hope and reassurance more than yellow ... The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance ... Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation." Kinda looks like Cal's gold, eh?

Some Amazing Photography

From some place in Europe, Eastern Europe, maybe? I don't know...

I just know that they look gorgeous and I want some to hang on a wall in my future house someday.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is having an awesome winter break doing pretty much nothing and/or relaxing. You guys all deserve it!

Anyhow I found other font-ish related site: http://flippingtypical.com/

But instead of showing you a bunch of fonts, it will display your fonts and your choice of text. So if you ever wondered what would be a good font for say, "Hella Whimsical," you'd type that in where it reads "flipping typical" and you'll see it all come out in the variety of fonts they already have. You can also type above it (in the black) the name of a font on your computer and it will load the image below. Pretty nifty, huh?
