RP
“RP is new small scale digital type-foundry established in 2009 by Radim Peško. The foundry is focused on development of typefaces that are both formally and conceptually distinctive.”
I love their website http://radimpesko.com/! Generally I’m bored with “normal” looking websites.

What should you answer to a question: “What is it that you do?”
Really nice website ok-do.eu by Jenna Sutela & Anni Puolakka. It is “a socially-minded design think tank.”
I was smitten by an especially nice diary article written by Hans Park. The article buzzes around the question “What is it that you do?”. Often faced in a classy fomo party by a job snob (term by Alain de Botton). “The question was posed by the TED Tokyo curator who, after listening to my twittery answer, checked the time and decided to walk away mid-talk to speak with more interesting people.” You need to be ready to sell yourself all the time, have your slogans ready to shoot.
What if you just said: I’m happy. That would just piss everybody off. Or like Tim Ferrish says he says: I sell drugs. I’d go with the latter.
Here’s the referred Alain de Bottom speking in TED, about the question: “What is it that you do?” And go read the Ok Do, it’s a delight wrapped in good things!
Nice, nice.
The 24ways.org website has a fresh take on how website can look (though the design is not new).
If I’m not completely wrong it’s powered by an extremely cute and interesting CMS called Perch, see the webiste for demo grabaperch.com.
