on the same screen. And you don’t have to merge videos using another application! The finished result is a QuickTime movie. You can download a free
demo version at www.varasoftware.com.

Top 5 Web Sites of the Week
1. Planet Typography is a fun and very informative site all about typography.
2. Da Font is a resource for new, original fonts. According to the site,
you don’t have to worry about piracy — these fonts are their authors’ property, and are either freeware, shareware, demo versions or public domain.
3. “Street art” takes all forms, from Shepard Fairey’s Obey Giant campaign to the performances documented in the Little People blog.
The art consists of miniature hand-painted figurines that the artist places in site-specific situations and the photographs. Sounds weird, and it is, but
it’s also wildly creative and worth a look.
4. Have you ever seen a clock on a Web site that shows the accurate hours, minutes, and seconds? Go to Time and Date.com and
get the HTML for your own site’s clock.
5. CreativeCOW has lots of information in many formats and media.
Most of the content centers on the world of film and video.
