Ecofont

Ecofont is an environmentally-friendlier typeface intended to save toner by making the font more or less hollow.  As you can see from the graphic above, the font has holes to cut down on the overall footprint.  When the font is printed in it's actual size, it is intended to appear just like any other font.  Check it out at www.ecofont.eu.  An added bonus is that Ecofont can be downloaded for free.

Ever wanted to know the answer to a question, but haven't been able to find an answer through standard search methods?  Yahoo and Google both have their own brand of question and answer websites, but Mahalo allows for cash payouts based on the answers provided to questions.  I believe the site is in Beta at the moment, but it seems to be extremely effective (and quick) at providing users the answers to their questions.  Users can strengthen their answers with references and the individual posing the question gets to select what they feel is the best answer for their question.  I have used it just for some general opinion questions with desirable results.

The  coming Obama administration has opened up a new venue for individuals to pose questions and provide feedback.  I for one am pretty stoked about this level of openness and the variety of ways that the administration has embraced technology.  Hopefully this will continue throughout his tenure and democracy will be further extended to individuals rather allowing organizations and corporations to maintain their stranglehold on our government.

On the same line FrontSeat has generated a series of pages where users can suggest possible goals and changes for the Obama administration to implement.  Check it out at http://obamacto.org/.
