1. Johnaugust.com » Quitting, and the age question

   “It’s not harder for an older writer to start. It’s just easier to quit.” Replace “writer” with pretty much any profession. Harsh truths.

2. Johnaugust.com

   I finally got round to reading a few months of John August’s weblog — he’s the screenwriter of ‘Go’ and ‘Big Fish’ among others — and it’s great stuff. Honest, open and useful.

3. Timeline of historic inventions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

   I like timelines. One day I’ll draw a great big one on a very long wall. (via Kottke)

4. “An Ilustrated Life” Preview

   Lovely collection of pages from “artists, illustrators and designers’” sketchbooks. Awful slidy Flash interface though. Illustrators are worse than estate agents in their use of appalling interface techniques. (via Ted Mills)

5. Ops on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

6. Install multiple versions of IE on your PC | TredoSoft

   This has come a long way since I last looked at this kind of thing. Now comes with a handy installer.

7. YSlow for Firebug

   Not entirely sure about the A-F grading, but handy plug-in for measuring page loading times and weights. (via Rodcorp)
