Font Squirrel & Free Font-Face Kits
Found a nice set of free @font-face kits from Font Squirrel today. I have not used the @font-face functionality of CSS 3 before so I gave it a try here to test it out. Works great and it was easy to implement.
Fonts seen in the example are Hill House and Kulminoituva.

Photoshop Polaroid Action
Found a great Photoshop action today that turns any image into a Polaroid picture. Here’s a shot of an old town in Alaska.
Just go to this site and download the action file. Install into Photoshop, open your image, and play the action and you’re good to go.

iMovie ‘08 Archiving
I’ve accumulated quite a bit of home video on my hard drive and wanted to see how I could archive all my clips onto an external USB drive. After some Googling and experimentation I found the following to work nicely:
1) Right click in the ‘Events’ panel at the lower left of the iMovie screen and make sure ‘View Events By Volume’ is checked. This will list all volumes available for archiving/reading events.
2) Just drag the events you want to archive to your backup volume (USB drive, Time Capsule, etc.) and iMovie will move them for you nicely.
One disadvantage of this is that anytime you want to work with or play projects that depend on the events you moved, you’ll need to make sure your backup volume is accessible. You’ll see a little yellow caution sign on any project that uses event clips that are not available.
I was tempted to move all my files via the Finder but I’d recommend staying away from this method as iMovie is not aware that you’re moving the files.

Logo Of The Day
Occasionally I try to come up with logos for fictitious companies just to practice my design work. Here’s one I did today for a company called 4Square.
