It’s off to a bit of a late start, but today marks the beginning of Tuesday Type. Not to be confused with TrueType, Movable Type, or T-Types, Tuesday Type is a (hopefully) weekly compilation of the typography-related news scattered about the internet, as well as the beginning of actually posting design-related news, or news in general, on designdraft. For those who aren’t very good at math, we’re almost at 7 months straight with no updates. A blunder on my part, I haven’t quite mastered time management and this year has been fairly hectic.

Let’s get down to business, shall we?

Tomorrow, or later today, rather, Microsoft will unveil its latest additions to the Zune family: the Zune 80, Zune 8, and Zune 4. With a slew of new software and hardware features, is it quite enough to match up to Apple’s iPod monopoly as a competitor? Not quite.

I’m not personally a big iPod fan, but my recent conversion to OS X and my love for fluid design and style among products has made today a great day today. If you haven’t heard, Apple completely revamped the entire iPod line today at its “The Beat Goes On” event, and I must say, the goods look fantastic.

For my handful of loyal readers, you may remember when designdraft went offline for several months, due to server problems and my own laziness. I’ve really wanted to update it regularly for a while now, but I just have not had the time with all the transitions in my life. Now that I’ve gone to college, I’ll be living in the design studio and I’ll have a lot of time to procrastinate with my work so I’ll have time.

designdraft returns for the second half of 2007 after a nearly six-month hiatus.
