(English below)

Måske har du allerede læst det på min twitter, min myspace, min sploppedisblip eller splyppedisblyp, men det skal ikke hindre mig i også at skrive det her:

Jeg har valgt nogle numre og en rækkefølge igen!

Jeg siger dig, hvis jeg bliver ved med at spille dj i det her tempo, så er jeg efterhånden oppe på at spille dj ca. en gang om året. Denne gang gør jeg det på Romeo Vidners radio-hjemmeside.

Det starter med Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, der laver en sjældent sprød udgave af Springsteens Born in the USA, og slutter med omtrent det smukkeste stykke harpemusik du kan få en blind mand iført vikingehjelm til at klimte. Indimellem er der knastør hiphop, hymner der emmer af morgensol og begejstrende rock – og hvis du ikke hører noget du kan lide, så ved jeg simpelthen bare slet ikke hvad du kan lide.

Du skal klikke her: Omeo

…og pt. er det så mig der ligger øverst i arkivet, under titlen “Amagermadder og påfugle”. Titlen skulle egentlig have været “Hvis dette mix var en båd, ville det hedde Pauline”, men den titel er lige lovligt lang, og så havde jeg lige givet en amagermad til en påfugl, så derfor.

Amagermaden endte dog med at ligge uspist hen.

Men klik dig til Omeo alligevel. Om ikke andet, så fordi der faktisk er meget andet godt at høre – som f.eks. Nikolaj fra When Saints Go Machines behagelige og livlige liste, der er durk under min. Og så meget andet; det er strengt taget svært at klikke galt.

Tak til Hype Machine, for uden havde jeg nærmest aldrig hørt noget som helst. Hvorfor er alle ikke på Hype Machine?

I’ve put together a list of fine tracks. Listen to it at Omeo radio (Click on ‘Amagermadder og påfugle’ in the archives.)

I don’t think I can praise Evernote enough. You’d have to give me a lot of time anyway. Among the many uses I have for it, one of them is keeping a scrapbook of everything typographically interesting I come across. If you’d like, you can explore it here:

Or, you can grab the rss feed for it.

I update it on a highly irregular basis.

A few of my designs have found their way into Die Gestalten Verlag’s fourth edition of Los Logos, which, as a sweet side-effect, makes me terribly proud. Partly, because

a) It’s a book

and b) It’s a very fine book!

Go have a look at it here.

Trafalgar Cleaners needs cleaning.

“I wonder what’s happening to that ol’ 2001 typeface of mine”, I thought to myself. And now I know: Almost nothing is happening.

…except for the fact that Beastie Boys is using it in their media player! If you ask me, that’s pretty darn sweet. Pretty sweet to the max, if I may add.

I actually stopped linking to this about four years ago, but since my teen-heroes could find a use for it; here it is again in all its free downloadable glory.

It features lower-case and smallcaps, as well as a few alternative characters and a fake oblique.

If you use it for anything I’d be happy to hear about it!

Yesterday I came across this excellent typography blog, TypeNeu, which at the same time had just posted this exciting news:

FontStruct font-building tool

FontShop have released FontStruct, an online free font-editor where everybody can join the fun and design their own typefaces, using an array of geometrical shapes and simple tools. The result can be generated as a truetype font which you can use on macs as well as pcs.

You’d think the nature of the program would produce loads of minimalistic typefaces like this, but the gallery shows a lot of creativity, including this guy that have created a blackletter face!

If the author allows it, you can even clone their work and redesign it. This will surely be interesting to follow.

Hooray for FontShop and FontStruct!
