Looking for some last minute gifts for that type-obsessed friend of yours? Or perhaps even for their children? House Industries has a great collection of merchandise that includes
these PhotoLettering Blocks. The 12 blocks cost $35 and are covered with characters from Photo-Lettering, a successful type house over a good part of the last century. Also available from House are iron ampersands, alphabet tape and gift certificates for a lucky recipient who can pick out their own products and fonts.

This Friday is your last chance to
submit entries for the 14th Webby Awards. The Webbys are presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, which includes members ranging from Beck to Vint Cerf, who is often credited with inventing the Internet. A Webby nomination can drive traffic to your site and provide great visibility for your design firm. As always, several categories are discounted including student and personal work.
