Archives for category: freebies

This one’s a bit early, but I haven’t posted any freebies in awhile, so here’s one from the robots at Gmail.

Visit gmail.com/holidaycard and send a holiday postcard, on Google! I have to say, though, there’s something odd about using the Gmail machine to send an old-school snail mail postcard.

The good folks of Adah Design have released a free handset font, Oh Mercy! Nice work from some nice people.

You can find several great logo/pictogram-ready fonts over at Fontfabric. My personal favorites are Val and Mod.  I appreciate the ability to reverse the A, M, V & W characters.

Check some of the designer’s applications below:

Hey friends, must be a busy week here in the home office because we’ve got two — yes, count them, two — Friday Freebies in one week!

Some of our friends here in SD who run a great business called Christian Audio are offering a free download of Francis Chan’s book Crazy Love during the month of July.

Francis has been a featured speaker at many Passion events and is the teaching pastor at Cornerstone Community Church in Southern California. Francis is an engaging, challenging, passionate speaker — in the written version of Crazy Love, I keep hearing his preaching voice.  In that sense, I think the audiobook version might communicate the message of his book more clearly.

While I like Chick-fil-A sandwiches, their ads have always given me the creeps.  Something about the scrawled “hand”-written messages seems kind of unhinged.  It’s like LOLcats, but not cute or funny. Yes, I am definitely over-thinking this!

In what could exponentially increase the ick-factor for me, Chick-fil-A will be hosting their 5th Annual Cow Appreciation Day this Friday, July 10th. Come into a Chick-fil-A dressed as a cow and receive a free meal (and, probably, make a bunch of kids cry!). Just imagine a restaurant filled with cows eating fried chicken.

NOTE: Since this freebie is running this Friday I thought I’d publish this blog post a little early. That should give you enought time to make your own scary cow costume.
