Decipher that Font
I learned about this tool a while ago … but I forgot about it until today.
WhatTheFont allows you to plug in any image with text on it and it will tell you what font was used to create that image. Pretty handy little tool to have around … and to remember!
Wayfaring Map
I read about this interesting sounding tool on Library Stuff this morning … it's called Wayfaring, and it lets you create and share maps. Steven created a map for his route to work, and I thought … “I can do that” … but for some reason it's just not that easy. I typed in the address I wanted in PA, and it kept saying it couldn't find it … then I narrowed it and it found a location in CA … hmmm. Well I'm going to keep playing with it, maybe I'm just missing something.
