It’s Friday and snow has finally come to St. Louis. I had a good laugh driving yesterday as I passed white-knuckled people going 15 mph in their Priuses and Impalas. Let’s get the weekend started right with the Friday List.
- Mars Hill Church in Seattle is giving away their Witness font that has become a staple of them. Follow the link to download.
- Speaking of fonts… in a horrific display of typography, a group defending the use of Comic Sans font has recreated iconic logos with Comic Sans type. I’m guessing that Google will actually use this recreation for a week as some sort of back-handed reply.
- Did I mention I’m a big fan of Michael Hyatt? He shared a past post of his about slaying the three-headed dragon of lethargy at the beginning of your day. It’s three heads: spiritual, physical, and intellectual lethargy.
- Creative of the Week // Aaron Niequist’s “A New Liturgy”
- Thought of the Week // “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Action” – Simon Sinek, TEDx @ Puget Sound, 2009.
- Video of the Week // Movie trailer for Donald Miller’s Blue Like Jazz.
- Quote of the Week // “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” – C.S. Lewis
Jon, explain the fonts? I tried to download them. How are they used?
The fonts can be downloaded to your computer by clicking on the link that they provide. Once you’ve downloaded them to your computer, then you can copy them into the “Fonts” folder/book on your computer. Google has some great tutorials on troubleshooting if this doesn’t work.
1. That is my favorite TED talk. Love it.
2. That is my favorite C.S. Lewis quote.
Which means I should now check out the rest of the list in case there are new favorites waiting for me.
Love finding like-minded bloggers. Thanks for the weekend kick-off list!
1. That’s awesome to hear. I’m a big fan of TED and their many talks.
2. C.S. Lewis has been an influencer of mine for the past 20 years.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of the list. I love your writing. Keep up the good work.
