Filmaster.
Social Networking for film buffs. UI isn’t perfect, but it’s a nice start - and has open source component. http://bit.ly/i0fvD
For the active photogs…be ready to shoot, do away with the camera bag: http://bit.ly/sGhNl
ModBook
Until a Mac Tablet comes, I wants a ModBook - http://bit.ly/vSAzN Perfect for font design on the go, or wireframes on the spot.
Would love to see Seattle PI succeed as online-only local ‘newspaper’. First on the list, please make your site not look like shite.
Still so many poorly designed sites.
Please refer to design 101 and make CRAP: contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity. Too much to ask?
Cool concepts for US currency redesign - http://bit.ly/5kc8T (And yes, The Netherlands had great design for its bills)
Was at mag rack and noticed covers were the same as 3 weeks ago. I prefer reading print format over web, but the content just ain’t fresh.

Keep the slabs coming: Sentinal.
Another great typeface from @H_FJ. With free slab type history lesson! http://bit.ly/WOfIb
FlairBuilder.
AIR app for wireframing. Seems like a nice start, though I think I need PDF export. http://htxt.it/ebuQ

Finally starting to use Evernote on iPhone. The trick is just remembering I have it when something comes up that I want to reference later.
Why can I not yet connect a digicam to iPhone? Apple must be forbidding. Want to take good pics when mobile, but still upload to sites.
Archane: Spurius Carvilius designed the letter G.
The lower serif is called the ‘spur’. Knowing is half the battle. http://bit.ly/NXyxE
