1. LRB · job

   Now that’s a job advert. No faffing. “The ‘London Review of Books’ is looking for an editor, preferably one with an interest in politics and history. Would suit a young, disaffected academic.”

2. New Lightroom plug-in – CaptureTime to Exif - John Beardsworth

   Bascially a Lightroom-plugin front-end for Exiftool. Lets you easily update the Date Time Original EXIF field (eg, for setting the date a scanned photo was taken) but also add other arguments manually.

3. Who killed the Intel microprocessor? | asymco

   I never knew about the difference between Intel (who design, manufacture and sell microprocessors) and ARM (who license microprocessors which designers use as part of a chip which is then manufactured by a fabricator).

4. Obama London: Inexplicable Edits on Sarah Palin’s Facebook Page

   It’s fascinating how quickly Palin’s team remove comments (and fair enough; it’s their page). It’s annoying how many people shout that this is “censorship”, as if they wouldn’t do the same if the tables were turned.

5. Exquisite Tweets

   Really handy way of being able to point at an entire Twitter conversation, or a hand-curated selection of tweets, from James Wheare.
