Watch any news pro­gram and you’ll hear sta­tis­tics about Amer­ica hav­ing fallen behind most other indus­tri­al­ized coun­tries in mat­ters of heath, edu­ca­tion, and tech­nol­ogy. But I can think of one area in which we excel—creative services.

Dear Foursquare, it’s over between us. We’ve been at this four months and our test run of location-​​​​based ser­vices has been, well, unspec­tac­u­lar. After oscil­lat­ing between the Foursquare and Gowalla clients (both of which we found to be very flaky) we’ve seen lit­tle pay of for the poten­tial mar­ket­ing (and stalker) info we’ve provided.

Every now and then we notice a trend in fonts or notice a cer­tain face show­ing up every time we flip a page or load a link. One such font to recently start pop­ping up on the web—and in our local cof­fee shops flyers—is Museo. It’s a dis­tinc­tive and con­tem­po­rary semi-​​​​slab serif which makes for highly-​​​​legible headlines.

Now we have a myr­iad of other portable inter­net capa­ble devices and sud­denly small is the place to be. Again.

Hav­ing worked through­out the states I can say with a degree of cer­tainty, bum clients here are the rule not the excep­tion. One only needs to peruse the Art and Media jobs sec­tion on any bay area/​central Florida sec­tion of Craigslist.org and you will quickly know what I am refer­ring to.
