1. Love and hate

   My time at LISPA is over and while it’s been good, it’s too soon to know just how I’ve changed.

1. Amazon.co.uk: “Travellers Back in Time”

   I collected all the fiction mentioned in the Kottke and Marginal Revolution posts about “How would you survive if you travelled back to 1000AD?” and made them into an Amazon Listmania list.

2. Marginal Revolution: Time travel back to 1000 A.D.: Survival tips

   The post that resulted in Jason’s post. Yet more conflicting but interesting ideas about how you’d survive. (via Kottke)

3. Survival tips for the Middle Ages

   Completely awesome stuff. I’ve thought about this kind of thing loads since I was a kid - how would you cope if you travelled back in time? Lots of conflicting ideas there.

4. Last Call, Bohemia: Entertainment & Culture: vanityfair.com

   Christopher Hitchens on gentrification, New York’s West Village, London’s Soho, etc. (via Kottke, yes I’m catching up on a lot of Kottke)

5. Chris Gilmour

   Wonderful lifesize (I assume) sculptures of everyday objects (bikes, cars, dentist’s chair, etc.) made entirely out of cardboard. (via Kottke)

6. Ten Books on Investing Recommended by Warren Buffett | Business Pundit

   I love lists of books recommended by people who know what they’re talking about. (via Kottke)

7. iSquint - iPod Video Made Easy.

   Free converter for making video into iPod/iPhone-friendly video. (via Haddock)

8. Google LatLong: Pound the pavement

   Google Maps can now give you walking directions. A quick couple of comparisons in London showed it doesn’t know about as many pedestrian-only alleys etc as WalkIt.com. Yet. (via City of Sound)
