The other day I was surfing the web for a Christmas gift for my niece when I came across something called "Crayon Physics". Not everyone loves physics but who doesn’t love crayons? This is a great game with lots of potential and it is free you can pretend you are a kid again and play with your crayons! Some of the levels are a bit challenging – but it is a fun way to apply physics to this make believe world. Check it out: 

How cool is that? The only complaints I have (if you want to call them complaints) are; I wish it had more levels because I wanted to keep playing, and it only works on a PC

I think it will be a lot of fun playing this with my 5 year old niece – maybe she can teach me a few things

Tired of the using the same old fonts? Smashing Magazine has put together a great collection of free fonts. Yes, you read correctly – FREE! And they aren’t garbage fonts either. There are some nice alternatives if you are one of those designers stuck on using the same san serif font or if you are looking for a new classic.

For example, District Thin is a beautiful san serif font, especially if you are looking for that nice clean thin look. See it compared to Helvetica, Frutiger or Univers:

Or Canonica instead of “Times New Roman”, and if you are looking for a font with less x-height and narrower then Century Gothic, try Geosans Light.

Check out the Smashing Magazine website to see more of this collection.
