Welcome to Gen X Design. The name’s a little corny, I know, but it’s one of those things I’ve used since I was a kid.
Anyway, I built this site for me (and some friends) to share their thoughts and ideas. I love all things web 2.0, shiny icons, and gradients. I live in the San Francisco Bay area, work for Aptana, and am sometimes available for contract work.
Came across this perusing the web… great round-up of the fonts most commonly used by professional designers. Check it out over at Jacob Cass’s site:

It’s pretty much as functional as the actual Firefox extension, and is well worth checking out:
