It’s almost Labor Day. We’re sorry to bring it up but after that, autumn isn’t far off. The weather ought to be cooling down. The good thing about this is that you will have more fashion opportunities and get to accessorize. Maybe you’ll need a scarf to keep you warm for instance. Little factory has that covered for all you chilly typophiles. They have three different typographic neck-warmers...

They’ve got some nice results going on and this idea really has legs. (Pictured: CroM’s take on...

Colour design 101
Hi, I'm Raj Patel. Nice to meet you. I'm a writer, photographer, film producer, avid reader, gamer, architect, programmer, artist, community manager, and general nerd.
Here at Ohmpage I try to cover the news and trends at the intersection between technology and culture. In practice this means you get a lot of high-tech, new-media, type of fun stuff (the stuff that interests me) presented to you. I surf hard so you don't have to.
If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me or follow me on twitter. I'm always happy to talk.
