Blambot’s FREE font for December is Marooned on Mars

preview mom 20081126 202110 Blambots FREE font for December is Marooned on MarsIf memory serves (and with each passing year, it serves a bit less accurately) Blambot usually offers a festive FREE font during the month of December. This year, the free font isn’t all that Christmassy but does hava classic comic lettering style: Marooned on Mars.

Nate Piekos, the font’s creator, describes it as a classic, sci-fi, brush-style font to “trumpet the arrival of your new alien overlords!” It’s beauteous.

Note:I don’t mention this as often as I should, but Blambot’s free fonts are free for not-for-profit use and for independent comics. Read the free fonts license agreement for details.

So that’s it, huh? That’s the Microsoft Seinfeld ad that is gonna put ”Get a Mac” to shame?

If this is what all those rumors were about, not only does Apple have nothing to worry about, but I no longer think Jerry Seinfeld is a traitor to the Mac cause: he totally scammed Microsoft out of their money and gave them nothing in return.

Jerry Seinfeld, you’re my hero.

Note:The second ad is a bit better…not much, but a bit.

Picturesque get all 3-D in Leopard upgrade

MainScreenshot 20080512 205353 Picturesque get all 3 D in Leopard upgradeI loved Picturesque back in version 1.0. It was a very slick little application that allowed you to give your blog pics more “oomph!” by adding shadows, reflections, glows, curved corners and strokes.

I have a feeling I’m going to love Picturesque 2.0 even more. The folks as Acquilia Software have rebuilt the application for Leopard to take advantage of core technologies. This has opened the door to adding perspective effects and cool transitional animations to make the experience more fun.

Picturesque 2.0 is a bit pricy at USD$34.95 but people who registered their copies of 1.0 will get a discount and need only pay USD$12.95.
