Unheap — a tidy repository of jQuery plugins

I know I’ve looked at, played with, or used at some point a lot of jQuery plu­g­ins. Keeping track of old favorites while stay­ing up to date with new releas­es and tech­niques is one of the chal­lenges I always strug­gle with. So I’m dig­ging this well designed, orga­nized data­base of jQuery plu­g­ins com­plete with search, some video demos, and an RSS feed of new entries. Well done, indeed.

State Rough Stencil by Rian Hughes - Excerpt Preview, Futurist Geometric Sans-Serif, Retro, 80s Type

Headline Heads Up — No. 19

Being the last day of win­ter, I’m look­ing towards sum­mer a lit­tle early as two ocean and water inspired type­faces sit atop the show­case. Rounding out the list is a six style, mul­ti­lay­er col­le­giate block type sys­tem and a trip back to the future for some retro sten­cil awe­some­ness. Get surfing.

When's Dessert Wallpaper Excerpt Preview

Wallpaper Wednesday — No. 21

This month I’m get­ting back on track with a pair of relat­ed wall­pa­pers inspired by icons and a font released over on Creative Market. First is the spoons, forks, and knives of When’s Lunch? Then comes water­mel­on, cup­cakes, and ice cream for When’s Dessert? Bright spring/summer col­ors carry the pieces with the icons and tex­ture being more sub­tle addi­tions. I’ve also added a Retina dis­play Macbook Pro size for those of you need­ing 220 DPI density.
