This has been a busy week, from mastering twitter basics to roaming through the sales with a flu (Bought a lot of undies, mind you).
Now, all I want to do is sleeping. But before that, I got some inspirationnal stuff to put in order.

. Flipping typical seems like a good tool to check fonts easily. I’m still waiting for a font explorer featuring a comparative chart like this.  (Via swismiss)
. Chase Lisbon did have a messy week with is Flick’r. He rocks anyway —  go an check the new version, but careful, this might not be safe for work.

. Oh, Sophia, what did happen to your giant salad servers?? 
. Mac users are bisexuals with asian fetishes? Heck yeah! Via ProfessionalWidow.
. It’s amazing what people can do with bubbles: Bubbles drawings and frozen bubbles.
. The book cover archive features not only great book covers but also useful link about designers.  
. Iphone users have too much nice wallpapers to use, and thanks to smashing magazine, they’ll have a load more. I’m craving…
. Apple keynote sucked.  So, I don’t care ahah!
