Lorem 2: An all-around better Lorem experience – I started Lorem 2 because I wanted a nicer, better place to get my Lorem copy each day. For many designers, Lorem text is as an important part of the toolbox as Photoshop and coffee are. Well, maybe not. But it comes close, perhaps up there with Pantone color books for print designers and HTML libraries for Web designers.
