BloggNews loves finding free stuff… and we especially love free fonts.
This OpenType font family comes in regular, italic, bold and small caps and has some nice OpenType features. Besides ligatures, contextual alternatives, fractions, oldstyle/tabular numerals, Anivers also has a ‘case’ feature for case sensative forms and tabular numerals … so Anivers can crunch numbers with ease.
To download the free regular you only have to register - but if you use it make sure you sling the bloke a few bucks to buy him a coffee - it’s worth it for such a quality product.
To preview and download the font visit:

Surely everyone will want a pair of these. Now all i have to do is drum up that old red life vest and we are set!
Apparently Nike have decided to produce the futuristic sneakers worn by Marty McFly after an Internet petition was started a while back on mcfly2015.com.
Nike will release a limited version of the Hyperdunk, this years most talked about basketball shoe, in a Back to the Future inspired color scheme. The sneakers are expected to be released later this Summer.
Unfortunately, the sneakers don’t tie themselves like the ones shown in the film.
Soooo soooo sooooo sooooo cool!

This site is a must bookmark for anyone who sits in front of a computer and is getting slightly bored with the music in their iTunes library.
The Hype Machine tracks a variety of MP3 blogs. If a post contains MP3 links, it adds those links to its database and displays them on the front page.
Some of the frequently accessed tracks are cached by the Hype Machine server, much like Google Search caches web pages, to reduce load on the bloggers’ servers and protect their bandwidth.
Those tracks are NOT available for download, but you can preview them via the play buttons that are next to each track.
The blog that posted a particular track is identified under every track by name so you can read more about why they posted it. If you enjoyed a track someone posted, stop by and let them know!
You can purchase CDs and individual tracks by using the “amazon” and “itunes” links that appear next to most tracks. Each purchase you make via the Amazon and iTunes links supports both the artists and the Hype Machine.
BloggNews brings you a wealth of information from sources all over the web.
It is a collection of great sites & blogs we think people might find useful.
