			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcaps">i</span> spend enough time online finding new and interesting resources for design and typography &#8211; okay, i&#8217;m a bit of a typograph (is that a real word?). in any case, its hard to manage all the fonts that a typical designer has in his or her proverbial pocket, sometimes the number reaching well into the hundreds of typefaces. at one point it would take photoshop a good 10 minutes to load all the fonts i&#8217;d dropped in my windows font directory. so after recently re-staging my laptop and cringing at the thought of managing all the fonts in the same manner, i did some poking around and found a few resources that led me to the <a href="http://www.extensis.com/en/products/font_management/product_information.jsp?locale=en_US&amp;id=1055">extensis suitcase (for windows!)</a>, which will manage your fonts for you and only &#8216;activating&#8217; the fonts or subsets of fonts that you put together, making things a whole helluva lot easier to administer. fully recommended for anyone who uses more than a few typefaces&#8230;</p>
<p>another bit of a pain in the ass that any designer can tell you about is dealing with photoshop brushes. because of such a grand proliferation of folks out there crafting and making accessible via the web all sorts of great, interesting and must-have brushes out there, its uber easy to throw away a couple hours finding brushes, unzipping, putting in your presets folder, testing them out &#8211; and perhaps only to find that they&#8217;re not what you want. or even maybe they are cool, but its not easy to always remember what brushes look like by name. enter the <a href="http://www.easyelements.com/abrview.html">ABRviewer</a>: for mac, win, linux. this software will ease the pain of previewing all your photoshop brushes &#8211; quick, easy and free. just the way i like things&#8230;</p>
