This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 4

It is that time of the week again. I made it by the skin of my teeth this time.

I have decided to attempt some organization to the links by general topics. I try to pick a diverse set of links that mirrors my interests and hopefully will be of interest to you as well. I have begun to get submissions for links which I greatly appreciate. I cannot say for certain that all the links will make it every week, but I will try to be more open to suggestions than closed.

Here are this week’s links. Enjoy.

Design

Learn to Write - A List Apart
A great article about something many designers will not like to hear. Believe it or not, design in fact is not limited to Photoshop skills.
Readability Test - Juicy Studio
After reading the article above, you may want to subject your past writings to this test. I would not suggest taking any computerized test too seriously, but it can be a helpful insight into your writing.
Mikons
This site actually just got rolled onto the del.icio.us popular page. It is a very interesting concept with quite a few very interesting icons.

Typography

So, What Size and Type of Font Should I Use on My Website? - Usability News
Ah yes, typographic usability - everyone’s favorite page turner! While it may not be the most exciting topic, it is a very important subject to be versed in. I would highly suggest giving it a read.
Semplice Pixelfonts
A collection of free pixel fonts. Free is good.
FontEditor BitFontMaker 0.1
Even better, make your own font and release it for free. I have all the intentions of making my own pixel font with this tool as soon as I get the chance.
Mean Tangerine
Anti-aliased pixel fonts. Interesting idea.

Photography

How to Shoot People (and Places and Things) - Subtraction
A great read focusing on what to look for when taking a photo. A great read.
Ice Lens Photography
I am still dumb-founded that someone was able to do this. The photos taken from this lens are amazing.
FILM IS DEAD! - Black & White World
A sad look into the not-too-distant future of film. It will not be too much longer before film costs $20 a role and $30 to develop. A depressing but very clairvoyant article.

Miscellaneous

Firefox Sync Extension
Bush Approval Timeline Map
Animator vs. Animation
