I had fallen behind on maintaining the NADE blog so I decided to post several links in one post. I am still playing with the idea of doing larger weekly posts with fewer daily posts, we’ll see how it works out, till then enjoy the below.

Helvetica on PBS

PBS launched a nice mini-site to coincide with the premiere of Gary Hustwit’s film Helvetica. Visit the site here. Also, take the test to see which font you are, my results listed me as being Helvetica. Take the test here.

Polaroid PoGo

With traditional Polaroid film slowly becoming extinct the Polaroid PoGo looks promising. The device “is a pocket-sized, inkless digital printer that produces full-color photos wirelessly from cell phones and via PictBridge from digital cameras.”
