PLEASE NOTE: The average-reader-friendly article as promised in my previous post.

Audiri is great for all of you that hate most of the commercial junk that is on the radio at the moment. The site allows for smaller bands to post their music and music videos (200mb of space per band) and get some great exposure, worldwide. Web surfers can download any track they like off the site and spread the love.
“The powerful search function lets you find music you have never heard that fits your taste and is actually good.”

Check it out, I’m downloading a couple of tracks as I write.

This cool site contains hundreds of fonts, and for free it seems. Check Typenow out here.

Whether you are looking for the font of the movie title of “Finding Nemo”, “The Godfather”, or “Jurassic Park”, or even the news title font of “CNN”, or “ESPN”, the list goes on and on, all the fonts are on this site ready to be downloaded.

Especially helpful for all the fellow designers out there.

Ok Encarta doesn’t really care about how your day went, or what you doing this weekend, but if you want a friend that probably knows the answer to most of your questions, add Encarta to your MSN Messenger contact list.
Its an online artificial intelligence machine that can answer any questions you might find the answer for in an encyclopaedia. Just add the following contact to your msn: Encarta@conversagent.com Try asking it how old it is, or what SA’s GDP is. You can chat to it too.

I’ve already tried asking it a few questions, and got some interesting answers.

Do you have a boyfriend?

I’d rather not discuss personal matters.
So moving right along…
