Lots of Flash/Actionscript links this week - I have been immersed in the Flash world a bit more than normally - that is my only explanation. As always, these links kept me quite busy with reading/viewing - I highly suggest each and every one. The 5 Freefonts You Shouldn’t Have Missed link is especially nice as you will be 5 fonts richer after reading it. 
As always, feel free to drop your favorite links of the week.
Enjoy the links.

21.01.07 1:38 pmOH man, I loved the concept/writing behind the Apple iProduct ad. As a fan of iProducts, I can definitely appreciate the message and have a god laugh about myself.
What I would love to do, just to take the joke a step further, is to send the creator a copy of the ad completely marked up with all the Apple brand standard violations. (x: margin width errors, size and placement of Apple logo, wrong typeface for headers, etc.) I could have sooo much fun with it!

23.01.07 8:29 pmBush’s State of the Union seemed to be a big yawner from what I heard on NPR. We’re almost there- only two years left. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.
