  3. Ooh, ex-Wired UK editor and the man who knows more about Mars than you, Oliver Morton, has a weblog

  4. ‘The Design of Sites’ is 700 pages of well-presented web design common sense. Good stuff.

  5. Lovely (but slow) spatial visualisation of Google News stories

  6. Brad Choate’s handy guide to using Movable Type to create a site’s static pages

  7. Matt Haughey’s article about using Movable Type to do non-weblog things

  8. Simple and useful CSS template for font sizes

  9. Setting the maximum width of HTML/CSS elements

    I’m not quite convinced, but I may need to find this again at some point.

  10. Interesting Ian Jack article on how kids describe past events in the present tense

    Although it tails off into irrelevant self-indulgence towards the end.

  11. Surprisingly OK article about the McSweeneys/Believer network of writers and the nature of how members of such ‘cliques’ influence each other

  12. TrailBlazer is an OS X web browser with an awesome graphical History display

    A bit buggy at the moment.

  13. QuickSilver is very much mouse-free Mac interface fun

  14. What she said: Eeek!

  15. Interesting but impossible to read map of Hackney’s crime hotspots

  19. I’m proud to be a ninja with dwarfish tendencies. I think.

  20. These replacement iPod batteries really do the job

    I’ve just got 12 hours out of one charge, rather than the two I was getting before!

  27. iGetMovies saves QuickTime movies from your browser window to your Desktop

    At bottom of page. For Macs.

  28. How to type French characters

    Because, like Blech on 2lmc, I’ll need to do this on a Windows machine at some point and I’ve never understood how to do that.

  29. ‘Status Anxiety’ was fantastic. More two hour shows by youngish, balding, intellectual chaps please!

    Might even prompt me to break up my single ‘Electronic’ iTunes genre.
