		<description><![CDATA[A few aggregating websites that are dripping with visual inspiration...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ffffound.com/"><img src="http://shalomimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/fffffound_small.png" alt="fffffound_small" title="fffffound_small" width="303" height="231" class="alignright size-full wp-image-385" /></a><br />
Odds are, you already know about <a href="http://ffffound.com/">Ffffound</a> (you hip, wired devil, you). But in case you don&#8217;t, here&#8217;s my hat-tip to this veritable treasure-trove of dazzling photographic and illustration inspiration. Nuff said. </p>
<p>Click the logo and go ffffind something that moves you (and if you&#8217;re really inspired, <a href="mailto:info@shalomimages.com">email</a> me about it because I&#8217;m always looking to be inspired &#8211; particularly in unexpected ways, at unexpected times). </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a similar website that you may not have heard of: <a href="http://enjoysthin.gs/">enjoysthin.gs</a>. [I hadn't heard of it until supercool Twitterer <a href="http://twitter.com/joshuamauldin">Joshua</a> hipped me to it.] I suggest looking deeper than first squint at this website. When I first landed on this site, it didn&#8217;t immediately impress. But when I dug just a little bit, I uncovered a torrent of inspiring images. Another cool thing about this site is that unlike Ffffound, it&#8217;s simple to become an editor, so the UGC mojo can easily flow&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://shalom.enjoysthin.gs/"><img src="http://shalomimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/enjoysthings-small.png" alt="enjoysthings-small" title="enjoysthings-small" width="303" height="231" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-429" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://szymon.tumblr.com/"><img src="http://shalomimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/inspire-me-now1-300x270.png" alt="inspire-me-now1" title="inspire-me-now1" width="300" height="270" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-395" /></a></p>
<p>My friend <a href="http://www.intistclair.com/">Inti</a> recently hipped me to another blog dripping with creative inspiration called &#8220;<a href="http://szymon.tumblr.com/">Inspire Me Now</a>,&#8221; which feature tons of images that live up to the demand of the title. [The image of the guy pulling the asphalt over Mother Nature is by <a href="http://www.alltelleringet.com/">Erik Johnassen</a>, BTW.]</p>
<p>It truly blows me away how much creativity is going on all around the world. There truly never has been a more exciting time to be a photographer, illustrator, or visual artist, IMHO. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[A great resource for identifying fonts using a unique visual recognition interface.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><a href="http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/"><img src="http://shalomimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/what-the-font-detail-300x259.png" alt="what-the-font-detail" title="what-the-font-detail" width="300" height="259" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-293" /></a></center></p>
<p>Designers, if you don&#8217;t know about this already, you&#8217;ll love this slammin&#8217; resource for font identification. Just upload an image containing an example of the font you&#8217;d like to identify, tap the letters into the system, and it will give you many suggested font matches, along with links to buy the font, or get it free, if available.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t always get it right, but often it&#8217;s close enough to be useful&#8230; and sometimes the &#8220;wrong&#8221; matches end up being a better fit.</p>
<p>Click the image on the right to zip over to WTF&#8217;s website&#8230; </p>
