This another Frankenpost from the previous version of the blog, but I'm adding new content to the end.
Mark James over at FamFamFam has made available to the public a free set of 1000 icons (nope, that's not a typo) called Silk. It's just one of three currently available. As you can see from this preview, the icons are high quality.
Here's the new part:
The reason I found the FamFamFam collection was that I needed some icons for HappyFish. I love the collection and have spent so much time looking at them that I can spot one instantly. That's why when I updated my installation of twhirl I recognized one of the FamFamFam icons on a little dialog advertising a new feature. ScrewTurn Wiki makes use of them too. I'm going to be using ScrewTurn for the new HappyFish wiki. As for twhirl, I recommend it as a desktop Twitter client. It has integration with FriendFeed which is a nice bonus.
