  1. Clapclap.org is serially monomaniacal: Hallelujah

    2007 article about Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ and its covers. Also good on ‘The OC’. More decent writing about TV please. (via Blech)

  2. Online Backup, Data Backup & Remote Backup Solutions from Mozy.com – Welcome

    One more online backup solution. Heard good things about this in the past I think. [UPDATE: Cool Tools readers gave it the thumbs down.]

  3. CrashPlan – Automatic Offsite Backup » Features - Tech Specs

    Another online backup thing, to backup to your own machine elsewhere or (for a subscription) to their server.

  4. TidBITS Safe Computing: Backblaze Launches Mac Beta of Online Backup Service

    Looks like a great online backup service, currently in private beta. (via Daring Fireball)

  5. STACK independent magazine subscription and delivery

    Subscribe to a mixture of magazines. Lovely idea. The limited selection is a bit too “style” for my taste, but still. (via Russell Davies)

  6. Michal Kosakowski » films

    Very, very good silent film about the hours before 9/11 made entirely from clips of movies made before 9/11. Set aside a few minutes and watch. (via Kottke)

  7. Home — genetify — GitHub

    For testing how different ways of doing things on your site are used by people. Sounds good. (via Yoz)

  8. Jacob Borshard - A Glow In The Dark

    His new, third, still FREE album. Usual stuff: twee, ukelele, love, Star Trek references.

  9. Home is where the heart is

    Another weblog by someone at LISPA, currently doing the second year. Still odd to read about people doing what I did exactly one or two years ago.

  10. The Grid System

    Nice resource on designing web sites using a grid. All we need now is a resource on designing web sites with DECENT LINK STYLES.

  11. Realm Crafter

    Makes MMORPG style games.

  12. Haddock Events

    We’ll be using a Upcoming group (private membership, publicly viewable) to collate interesting events. Feel free to let me know if we miss something.

  13. Schneier on Security: The Future of Ephemeral Conversation

    “The younger generation chats digitally, and the older generation treats those chats as written correspondence. … until we have a Presidential election where both candidates have a complete history on social networking sites from before they were teenagers — we aren’t fully an information age society.” (via Oblinks)

  14. Outlet PHP ORM - Welcome

    I’ve just started using this. I needed something simple and lightweight and I think I like this. Still a little rough, but getting there.

  15. Remember to breathe: Catching up a bit

    I’m loving Eric’s account of being at LISPA. Nicely written and very reflective. He’s the father of someone I was there with until July, and is now doing the course himself!

  16. Friday’s Newspaper Front Pages | UK News | Sky News

    Gallery of (some) UK newspapers, with permalink to the day. (For current day go to UK News, then see link under ‘UK News in Pictures’ on right.

  17. PressDisplay.com - Newspapers From Around the World

    Browsable versions of newspapers from around the world (click country links in left column). Costs money to see much though.

  18. Sounds Familiar?

    More listenable accents and dialects, British, old and new, from the British Library.

  19. Feedback Army - Home [Website Feedback Service]

    Get feedback on your website from Mechanical Turk users. Ten responses $7. (via Waxy)

  20. YouTube - Hitler’s BNP membership gets leaked

    Best use of the ‘Downfall’ video meme yet. (via Haddock)

  21. BBC - Voices - The Voices Recordings

    Recordings of different accents from around the UK.

  22. Philayres’ timeline on Swurl

    An example of a Swurl timeline, aggregating a person’s feeds etc. Interesting, although apart from photos it still all looks too similar.

  23. Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) on Vimeo

    The latest version of the happy, happy dancing Matt video. Still makes me unusually happy.

  24. The Netizen

    I’ve been digitising VHS tapes. I found this 1996/7 TV show from the then soon to be defunct Wired TV. It’s quite dull.

  25. Boundaries

    Completely awesome thing from Tom Taylor. Shows the shapes of areas based on how people have tagged their geo-located Flickr photos.
