  1. Jwz - space junk

    Great photos of bits of rockets that have crashed to earth in and around Russia. (via Haddock)

  2. Google Cartography

    Does a Space Syntax kind of thing using Google Maps. I haven’t tried it, but looks interesting. (via Blackbeltjones)

  3. Has Futurism Failed?

    Good long summary of the history of futurism (not the art movement) and the state of the industry now. (via Blackbeltjones)

  4. Francis is » Four unusual hobbies

    Nice grouping of Urban Exploring, Space Hijackers, Confluencing and Guerilla Gardening. Good for the explanation at the end about what they have in common.

  5. Mapping religion in America (regionsofmind.blog-city.com)

    Fascinating and attractive maps showing the percentage of residents of all US counties that belong to different religions. (via Plasticbag)

  6. 2lmc spool - Damn Interesting

    I like the spool a lot but “my web-discoverage is pretty organic because I shun memeclouds” is a hilarious phrase. I fear it it’s supposed to be serious.

  7. Quick guide to somewhat advanced JavaScript

    Helping me brush up my entrenched Web 1.0 JavaScript skills.

  8. André Carrilho

    Some fab distorted caricatures here. (But what is it with illustrators’ websites and endless Flash and pop-up windows? Hello, it’s the 21st century, please keep up.) (via Drawn!)

  9. Kyle Reed Illustration | 905.297.9454

    Some of these collage illustrations are great, although I wish he’d use a few more of the original photos’ features rather than, say, making eyes out of black and white paper. (via Drawn!)

  10. Hotel • Home

    I love the design of this site’s pages (designed by Paul Hetherington built by Dorian Moore). I’m not sure if I love it in spite,or because of it looking more like a paper brochure than a website.

  11. Web-based job tracking, invoicing, reporting & project management software for the part-time independent contractor. - Side Job Track

    Haven’t tried it, but looks good. Not sure why it’s only for “part-time” contractors.

  12. Lily Allen

    Catchy, wonderful tunes. But can I buy them or legally download them? No. Chance of me being sick of them before I can pay for them? High. How silly is the music industry? Very.

  13. Haddock Directory

    If you were thinking I’ve been keeping the site unusuallly up-to-date over recent weeks, it’s because an anonymous and glamorous assistant has taken over the task for me. Thank you, glamorous assistant!

  18. Falkland Island travel advice | Ask MetaFilter

    With a comment from me and, more usefully, my sister. (via ChrisDodo)

  19. Posterity

    Weirdly impenetrable and opaque pay-for site at which you can write your autobiography. As if weblogs never happened.

  20. SortedTable example

    Dynamically sorted and rearranged HTML tables using Javascript.

  21. pair Networks - World Class Web Hosting - System Notices

    Can’t be bothered with the RSS feed any more, but might need to remember where this is sometime.

  22. Mysql automatic backup script - AutoMySQLBackup

    Looks very handy, and better than my too ad hoc approach.

  23. SourceForge.net: Smarty Gettext

    This *seems* like the best of many cobbled-together ways to do language localisation with PHP and Smarty, but I haven’t tried it yet. Any other suggestions…?

  24. Luke Melia » Installing subversion at pair

    Maybe I should finally do this. Before I regret not doing it.

    Scroll down to various arty types talking about how they get inspired. (via City of Sound)

  26. John Lewis Partnership - First Openings for Waitrose in Scotland

    Our local Somerfield (ex-Morrisons, ex-Safeway) is to change again, in June, into a Waitrose. Much rejoicing among Barbican residents who have clamoured for more middle-class groceries for an amusingly long time.

  27. BBC News | Entertainment | Cult poet Ivor Cutler dies at 83

    I missed this earlier in the week. I’m glad we went to see him a couple of years back, although I feared I wouldn’t see him again. Bye bye Ivor.
