Without a doubt, Smashing Magazine is my favorite daily blog read for fantastic inspirational posts that cover all venues of design in the world as we know it. Their latest post is definitely near and dear to my heart as I am rather fund of retro and vintage stylings of things in our modern world.
This is a rad display of some great web designs that do a nice job of adhering to styles of old. If nothing else, this is one of the more fun galleries they have had recently.

Automattic has just released a new app for your iPhone or iPod touch that allows you to do all of your blogging from where ever you have internet access. I was having a conversation just the other day with a friend about his need for a great mobile blogging solution. Well here it is…
