RESNEW - discover the web!

These sites are all excellent to find thousands of great looking fonts for free, all neatly classified and downloadable. Some of them also have fonts to buy, others have some cool stuff to explore.

They are free, but if you’re using them commercially, be careful and read the attached files. Many of the creators ask that you send compensation or link to them or in some way give them credit if you use the font on something you plan to sell.

Post-it® Digital Notes for your desktop

resnew — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:31:21 +0000

Post-it is the brand of those usually yellow sticky notes that you put on the fridge when you want to remember to get some milk or take the dog to the vet. Well, now, you can have digital notes flying around your desktop with important reminders. After the application is installed, adding notes is as easy as simply clicking the new note button and writing the text that you want in it. After that, the note will just stick to your wallpaper and you can access them by double clicking an icon in your taskbar. This application also comes with an alarm feature, that allows you to set up events. Post-it digital notes can be a good way to organize yourself, but it can probably annoy you as well. The application functions as it is supposed to, but in the process, it slows down your system and adds yellow notes all over your system, which of course you can remove and leave only on the desktop…but it`s cool and an easy way to keep track of things in your busy life!

resnew — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:07:19 +0000

Huddle is a network of online workspaces that brings project management software, online collaboration and document sharing together.
