Push Notifications Are Going To Be Hot, Again
The release of iOS 5 will bring attention back to push notifications by giving a place to consume them on both the lock screen and the pull down notification center.

I want a method to invite friends to get together for a drink today after work, go bowling, or go for a hike tomorrow afternoon. This type of activity is not an event — it’s an impromptu gathering and it’s much more casual. I think...

Vintage Lettering Book
I’m a huge fan of brush script typefaces, so when I came across this vintage lettering book I had to have it.
