The slogan for this font is hilarious:
“BLOKK is a font for quick mock-ups and wireframing for clients who do not understand latin.”
It reminds me of this project, but in all seriousness, this really is a great resource for wireframing and mockups.

Does your church communications team encourage you to learn to code?
Church communities are great places to pass on skills and discover new ones. Music teams have “band practice” so there is no reason why media and communications teams can’t have outlets to share knowledge…
Here are six free or affordable online resources that might help you and your collaborators get started in learning how to develop for the web:
Visually displaying data can be the best way to convey a message and make your point. That’s why infographics are so great!
But what if the data wasn’t locked in? What if the data was visually displayed using some sweet JavaScript?

Here’s an excellent directory of such tools:
If you’ve always wanted to install WordPress, Drupal or any other CMS on your computer for web development and design, but was overwhelmed with all the details, give BitNami a try.
Normally you have to setup a local testing environment like a regular server. Setup your MAMP or XAMP, setup your MySQL and install your favorite CMS flavor.
With BitNami, you execute an all-in-one file that installs everything you need, all at once. Setting up a virtual machine and cloud server has never been this easy!
Exposing or making it easy for someone to get your database username and password could be more than detrimental, it could be tragic!

What do you think? Here’s a quick look at Modern.IE:
A few weeks ago I posted a responsive web design tool to help adjust the view portal for responsive testing.
It was alright, another tool to check out and maybe add to your bookmarks, but I’m always interested in finding new and better tools. In the comments, Dave tipped me off on a Google Chrome app that will adjust your view portal while using Google Chrome.
How slick is that?
Check it out:
As much as the QR code has been creatively used, I admit that I’m usually disappointed with them. I’ve scanned them on cereal boxes, business cards and even on bags at an agricultural store!
What usually happens?
It directs me to a website.
Seriously? Isn’t that what a good domain name is for?
I could understand if you wanted to associate a QR code with a link to install a mobile app that would add value (as seen here), but most uses have let me down.
How about you?
It looks like my personal experience doesn’t quite match-up with this infographic, though:
