Refresh Everything
If you haven't checked this out, go to Pepsi's Refresh Everything and vote on some pretty interesting projects worthy of receiving seed money. Some notable projects include Project M's proposal to get 1 Mil young adults on bicycles.

US+Them
Katie, our friend Brad, and myself ventured around dinky town and posted poster like crazy for US+THEM. Sometimes it was hard because places in the area wouldn’t allow us to put them up, but in some case I would put them up regardless of any permission. Surprisingly, when we were at the U of M, a janitor ripped a poster I had tape to the entrance door of Johnston hall, How nice of him :) More Pictures will be posted soon

A Typeface With a Social Purpose
Nunavut, a small isolated region in Canada, has one of the lowest population rates in the world. Even though the population is small, the citizens of Nunavut are fluent in four languages – French, English, Innuinaqtun and Inuktitut. The typeface, Pigiarniq, was designed a few years ago enabling the citizens of Nunavut to use the four languages all in a uniform matter, which I believe was mean’t for web. Although something relatively simple as font is overlooked in our society, Pigiarniq proves to provide a accessible means of obtaining information for Nunavut citizens and it’s future generation.
