So it’s been bugging me for days, but I finally have the answer to the name of the font that Google’s been using in it’s latest Google+ videos… The font is called Roboto, and you can download it from dafont.com for free.

What is the typical Australian's income in 2013?

Reblogged from We are all dead.:

matpacker — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:27:34 +0000

I’m putting together some screencasts for work currently and I’m trying to make a simple but decent looking title / reveal that I can use for the series and I recalled that you could do some pretty funky things with Keynote.

Nespresso

According to CHOICE and a bunch of top tier baristas, this here is a weak and watery espresso with no crema. Personally I disagree, and absolutely love my Nespresso machine.
