Holiday Busky is Good: All Function in One Post


Samutsevich is the only member of Pussy Riot to have been released from prison after being charged with “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” for performing an anti-Vladimir Putin song in a Moscow cathedral this summer. Despite having gained her freedom, she is not backing down, nor is she giving up the fight to free the two incarcerated members of her Russian art-punk collective.

Happy New Year

Not to go all “global warming” on you, but we couldn’t help but notice the other day when walking through the park that there were still rose bushes blooming in the middle of December. Which, of course, was pleasing to the eye, but it also got us thinking about how mild this winter has been so far (again, not a horrible thing on its own), and how pretty soon, seeing flowers on New Year’s Day may be a common occurrence. Next thing you know, this Mazzy Star song was on our New Year’s Eve mix.

Best New Year's Eve Jems



Radiohead released their seventh album as a pay-what-you-want download, and it forever changed the way independently minded artists would control their music. 'In Rainbow''s best song is a sonic dreamscape that folds into itself before finally, and completely, slipping into the heart of darkness that drives it.

Bush, Buttholes And Eels



Snobs complain that Radiohead's debut single is not at all representative of what the band is capable of. In fact, they usually sniff their noses at 'Creep''s inclusion in lists of the 10 Best Radiohead Songs. But it's a critical song in their career, and not just because it's their first single. It's also the moment where they learned that they didn't have to play to anyone's expectations.

In Their Right Place


At the moment there are several ways to use non-system fonts on a website. We will focus on the two least complicated, least expensive systems, Google Web Fonts and @font-face rule, though we have not ruled out other paying methods such as Typekit, Fonts.com webfonts, Fontdeck, Webtype, WebINK or Fontspring for future posts. They offer high quality typefaces and deserve to be considered. It’s important to be aware that webfonts can generate inadequate visualizations on operating systems that have subpixel rendering turned off, such as Windows XP, or represented differently depending on the browser. For these reasons, another important point of this post is to facilitate the choice of a series of fonts, out of the hundreds available, whose technical and visual characteristics make them more readable and compatible with the wide variety of devices, browsers and operating systems that are out there. Basically, there are two implementation models:

  1. Web font embedding services 
  2. Embedding fonts using @font-face rule

Web font embedding services 

Google Web Fonts (GWF) or Typekit are systems which allow the use of fonts hosted on their servers. GWF is free to use, does not require you to have an account and has no limit on traffic or domains as in the case of Typekit, which sets the cost of the service according to the number of domains in which the font is used or the site’s monthly traffic. One of the most valued characteristics of GWF is the option to download a desktop version of the fonts for use in the mockup phase of projects.
