Rather that offering help for those weak to the siren song of free fonts, Blambot is in fact taking advantage of this addiction on a monthly basis. This month, their free font is and electrically charged creation entitled Shock Therapy. It has sharp, lightning-bolt edges and comes with upper and lowercase characters. Available in TrueType, Postscript1 and OpenType, Shock Therapy comes in Regular and Italic.

From the people who brought you Tangerine and Voice Candy comes a little Menu Bar item called I Love Stars. It allows you to assign a star rating to the song currently playing in iTunes right from the Menu Bar.
My first reaction when I read about the app was “It sounds handy, but, geez, like I need one for icon on my Menu Bar!” and sure enough, if you look at the screenshot at right, it does have a pretty large footprint…that is, until you turn off iTunes. The latest version of I Love Stars hides itself when iTunes is not playing with a very slick little animation. It even let’s you assign a half star rating by clicking on the last star.
I Love Stars 2.0 is freeware.
