My youngest daughter once had a friend who’d say coolie when she saw or heard about something cool. If there were more than one, they were coolies. I say she once had her as a friend, because frankly she and her coolies got on my daughters last nerve. Not coolie.
Anyway, I found a few Coolies this week and wanted to pass them along to you. A few may apply to you, a few may not. If none interest you whatsoever, please forgive me and pretend this post never happened.
For Bloggers/Web Designers/Website Owners/Graphic Artists, etc:
Have you ever seen a font and wondered which font it was. There are so many varieties, now, it’s hard to be sure. When I first started out, there was pretty much Verdana, Arial, Times New Roman, Edwardian Script ITC, Courier, and Georgia. The rebels would branch out with Juice ITC, Kino, Edda, Enviro, and maybe one of the Copperplate fonts. Now you’d better be familiar with all of the above as well as Dirty Ego, High Strung, Adorable, Knitwits, and Kiss Me. Not kidding.
There are so many times when I’ll see a font and think how perfect it’d be for a project. I sit down at my Adobe Photoshop and tediously go through our insane font collection one by one. Eh, that’s so yesterday. I found a tool on MyFonts.com called What the Font?! You can upload an image with the font on it (what I did with a particular client’s business card), tap the button and, inside of a minute, it tells you the font’s name. You can also use an image’s url.
IF it’s unable to find your font, the site has a forum with font experts that are more than glad to help you out.

For Those of us Who Are Sun gods and goddesses:
Did you know that people who drink green tea have lower incidences of skin cancer than those who don’t? It’s an antioxidant thing - and green tea’s packed. Hopefully my addiction to Starbuck’s Green Tea Frap will carry me and my skin through.
If the taste of Green Tea makes you cringe, first try combining it with some regular black tea. And by combining, I mean 95 percent black and 5 percent green! I’m a huge fan of Green Tea now, but I admit, it takes a little getting used to. Work your way up to a 50/50 percentage, then ease into the 100 percent green tea.
For Anyone Who Wants to Get Ahead:
I recently re-read a book that I thoroughly enjoyed the first time around (years ago). It’s called “Conversations with Millionaires,” by Mike Litman and Jason Oman. I’m now prepared to give the shortest book review you’ll ever see.
Read. The. Book.
