The Inflatable House started life as a micro blog on Tumblr, hosting YouTube videos of music I’d come across and wanted to share. The along came This Is My Jam, which pretty much did the exact same thing – only a little more socially. I didn’t just want to abandon my Tumblr blog, so set about integrating my This Is My Jam updates in amongst the YouTube videos I was still adding.

Google Chrome + WebFonts Bug
March 29th, 2011 in Design, ToolsSince my switch to Google Chrome last week I’ve noticed a few issues with Google’s own Font API service.
