Mine favorite is I Love Typography – remember when I only started working in the web development niche I was so much surprised with how much our Art Director paid attention to typography. Later I understood this attention after I saw some examples of typography which totally ruined the message of the web page.

David Airey and TDC I couldn’t agree with more. two very inspiring designers without the hubris. Knowledgable, succinct and with the necessary skills.
I can’t speak highly enough of them. i look out regularly for them.
I’ll make some attempt at catching up with some of the others.
Thanks for the recommendations.
take good care and get as much joy as you can every day.
