    • The photos I posted to my blog were taken for me as a favor by my friend and business partner Greg Grunberg.
    • The “crazy long Amazon.com link” I posted to Twitter was for Band from TV’s “Hoggin All The Covers” MacMerc.TV   TextExpander, a CD/DVD of Greg’s band. Proceeds from the sale of this album go toward helping a handful of awesome charities and I heartily recommend buying it. These actors can really rock.
    • The exclamation that jumps out of the happy Mac at the end of the show is the logo for the product Greg, August Trometer and I are bringing to the iTunes App Store: Yowza!!.

    WhatTheFont for iPhone takes font identification on the road

    whatthefont 20090211 195341 WhatTheFont for iPhone takes font identification on the roadI have a bit of a sickness when it comes to fonts: if I see one I like that I’ve never seen before, I have to identify it and, often times, buy it. I can’t control it. Sometimes the obsession prevents me from enjoying my favorite shows.

    Well, thanks to MyFonts.com, I can now employ my iPhone to further my habit. Their new iPhone app, WhatTheFont for iPhone, allows me to take a picture of the font in question with the iPhone’s built-in camera. After cropping the image to just the part I want identified, the software uploads the sample to MyFonts.com where it is analyzed. It asks me to verify and identify the letters shown in the sample I photographed. Then it comes back several suggestions as to what font I was looking for. It’s like a magic trick for font maniacs: pick a font, any font…

    WhatTheFont for iPhone is free to download from the iTunes App Store.
