Very nice, NFL. The banner was taken down after about an hour, but hey, this is the internet. Nothing really gets taken down. Via.

The Museum of Me.
For something that basically does nothing more than make a pretty infographic using your Facebook content, the Intel Museum of Me is pretty damn sweet.

Another cool use of Youtube.
Condom or not? Your choice – via an interactive YouTube video. These days there seems to be a race to find the newest when we haven’t even fully-explored the current. It’s great to see people branching out and finding new and interesting uses for existing technology.

The web’s best type.
What you’re looking at isn’t a jpeg or a graphic. It’s actual type – on the web. It’s a product of Web Open Font Format (WOFF) and it’s changing the way the internet will look. Lost World’s Fairs is a collaboration to show exactly how versatile and beautiful WOFF can be. Out: the same old […]

Bob Hoffman, why are you lying and deleting my comments?
