Another awesome tutorial from BittBox. Here is the link to the tutorial: Hand drawn font tutorial from BittBox.
This tutorial uses Adobe Illustrator and mainly Fontlab Studio, but other font programs can be used also.

Cross platform panorama photo stitcher that’s open source!! Check out Hugin I haven’t tried it just yet, but I have downloaded, installed and opened with no problems. As soon as I have something worthy of a panorama pic, I’ll be sure and use this and post it.

BgPatterns.com is a awesome site for easily making seamless tiled backgrounds. Sure you can do the same thing in photoshop, but it’s actually quite fun making your own background on this site and then downloading the image for free! I was playing around with the site the other night and came up with the background image I’m using now. (Which is subject to change of course.) I saw this tip yet again at BittBox. I know a lot of my design links seem to come from this site but it’s to awesome to pass up. At the very least I’ll have a link of archives to go back and look at cool stuff without a mess of bookmarks. –_–

Don’t get me wrong I’m not savvy at all when it comes to the terminal, but here are some cool tweaks over at softpedia.com that even I can do in the terminal. I’m just posting the first tweak which is really easy and makes the finder more friendly when referring to the terminal.
* Force the Finder to display the entire path to a file or directory in the window’s title bar. *
Copy and paste this to the terminal :

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
killall Finder

The second line just quits and re-launches the finder so you can see the result immediately. To turn this tweak off just change the “YES” on the first line to “NO” (with no quotes).
