Fontomas is a web-based and open source project that allows us to combine any selected items from multiple iconic fonts to create a custom + lighter font. There are 3 built-in iconic fonts (Entypo, Iconic, Web Symbols). Within few steps (select any letters from the icons, re-arrange them), you get a new font.

The generated font is in SVG and web fonts can be produced from it using online generators like the one that FontSquirrel provides.

Texture King is a free texture resources website. Texture King allows you to use the textures they offer in whatever way you want, except sell or redistribute them. Textures are neatly organized with categories, available on every page on the left side.

The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of high-quality, legal audio downloads. The Free Music Archive is directed by WFMU, the most renowned freeform radio station in America. Radio has always offered the public free access to new music. The Free Music Archive is a continuation of that purpose, designed for the age of the internet.

Every mp3 you discover on The Free Music Archive is pre-cleared for certain types of uses that would otherwise be prohibited by copyright laws that were not designed for the digital era. These uses vary and are determined by the rightsholders themselves who feel that allowing a degree of free cultural access is beneficial not only to their own pursuits, but to our society as a whole.

Are you a podcaster looking for pod-safe audio? A radio or video producer searching for instrumental bed music that won’t put your audience to sleep? A remix artist looking for pre-cleared samples? Or are you simply looking for some new sounds to add to your next playlist? The Free Music Archive is a resource for all that and more, and unlike other websites, all of the audio has been hand-picked by established audio curators.

The Free Music Archive is a platform for collaboration between WFMU and a group of fellow curators, including KEXP, dublab, KBOO, ISSUE Project Room, and CASH Music. The site combines the curatorial approach that these organizations have played for the last few decades, with the community generated approach of many current online music sites.

It features a collection of some of the highest-quality of typefaces I came across online in a very long time. As a user you are more than welcome to contribute, browse, download, and use the chosen typefaces for free as all of them are subject to SIL’s Open Font License (which means that you are allowed to use the fonts for either personal or commercial purposes as long as you give a credit to its original creator).

More recently Caroline and Micah discovered something called @font-face, an addition to user-friendly web styling that allows you to specify the location of your own font files instead of using the same old web-friendly typefaces. Furthermore, the website is there to offer you a selection of truly amazing fonts that you can easily download and use for any of your creations. Just another step in the needed revolution.

3Defy is a great demonstration of the most recent in Flash programming, at the very smallest amount, although there is a morsel of a knowledge arch. It is fundamentally a site that permits you include 3D effects to 2D photos that you upload or link. By means of a reasonably basic set of brushes and tools, you lay down an entity in a sight and try your darnedest to thrust, drag, and crook it in anticipation of it looks rational.

The site is not very feature-rich but it is an interesting and exciting exploration of what you can perform by means of a Flash interface and, more significant, what HTML 5 apps will be up next to. The founders fabricated the app as a demonstration in order to construct probable business and they are energetically accommodating application updates in their forums and are bearing in mind a full open source discharge of their system. If you will summon up, YouTube was supposed to be an experiment of Flash’s video aptitudes and this is evidently a test of its on-the-fly image editing facilities.
