  4. How Top Bloggers Earn Money

    I’m fascinated by people making decent amounts of money from this stuff, particularly when it happens almost accidentally. (via Daring Fireball)

  5. Tong Family Blog: Lame switches

    Modern equivalents for LAME switches (I’ve been using ‘—alt-preset standard’ all this time).

  6. iLAS

    Almost identical to iTunes-LAME, except it works. And with a newer version of LAME. What I’m now using.

  7. StuMoD - freight train of wit and cleverosity

    NMP3 Ripper is another alternative for encoding MP3s using LAME, but I haven’t tried it.

  8. Max from sbooth.org

    Blacktree’s iTunes-LAME script for encoding MP3s with LAME malfunctions with recent versions of iTunes. Max is an alternative, but seems a bit overkill just for this job.

  9. LRB | Rosemary Hill : Keep Calm

    An account of the Co-operative Correspondence Club (early 20C women’s letter-writing distribution network). Also rather moving as the century continues and the women age.

  10. Starting out: Creatives clued in to ‘Generation C’ | Small Business | Business | Money | Telegraph

    Schulze & Webb getting some press coverage. I can’t even imagine what Matt and Jack will be doing in years to come.

    The Time When, which I built as an prototype for the BBC, has now been re-done internally as Memoryshare.

  12. Mucho Mas: the finest hand-rolled burritos - new Mexican restaurant in Islington, London

    Yay, opening on Upper Street in August. I also need to check out the Mexican place on Exmouth Market.

  13. Flickr: rawprints’ photos tagged with waltononthenaze

    Some awesome shots of Walton-on-the-Naze (and other places if you click around). Inspiring for next time I go there.

  14. Runstoppable Running Log

    Nice looking free set of tools for runners: mileage of your route, logging, statistics, elevation graphs, sharing, groups.

  15. Infovore » The CSS Redundancy Checker

    Checks your CSS file for all the selectors that aren’t used in the list of HTML files or URLs you feed it. Clever Tom.

  16. Introducing templatemaker | Holovaty.com

    Python thing. Point it at some HTML files and it will make a template with holes for the unique strings in the pages. (via Daring Fireball)

  17. Copy Provided Agreement Form (PDF)

    An example form to use if you’re going to act in a no/low budget film and want to use footage for a showreel.

  18. For Actors Homepage

    Lots of really good, practical advice for newbie actors, with an emphasis on screen acting.

  19. Sending XHTML as text/html Considered Harmful

    Apparently definitive version of why mindlessly doing sites as XHTML is wrong. (via Dotcode)

  20. OmniGraffle Wireframe Palette | urlgreyhot

    Looks prettier than the three mediocre wireframe palettes I grudgingly use. (via Blackbeltjones)

  21. Alluc.org - Watch Movies/Cartoons/TV-shows/Animes online!

    Links to TV/movies watchable online elsewhere. I keep forgetting the URL.

    MP3s from EMI, cheaper than those from iTunes Music Store. (via Boing Boing)

  23. How children lost the right to roam in four generations | the Daily Mail

    Interesting graphic showing one family’s increasing restrictions on their children’s freedom, over four generations. I wonder how child abduction rates have changed over a similar period. (via Boing Boing)

  24. LISPA - Naropa Alumni

    People who were at the college I’m now at.

  25. Jeffrey Zeldman Presents : bgcolor follies

    Over a couple of years I’ve collected a folder full of links to sites that make this careless mistake with the aim of writing just such a post. Now no need. (via Daring Fireball)

  26. MyspaceMP3.org - Download Music from MySpace

    Creates links to mp3s of songs in a MySpace page’s music player. Try, for example, ‘georgepringle’.

  27. McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Now Would Be a Good Time.

    They’re having a big sale to try and make up for the $130,000 they lost when a distributor went bankrupt. Buy nice stuff! (via Said the Gramophone)

  28. Heaven and Here

    Unofficial ‘The Wire’ weblog. Quiet at the moment, hopefully will start when the next series begins.. (via Said the Gramophone)

  29. YouTube - The Wrong Trousers

    Wonderful busking cover of ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ by teenage San Diegan buskers, including a harp. (via Said the Gramophone)

  30. Blog.pmarca.com: How to hire the best people you’ve ever worked with

    Interesting read, for if I’m ever in such a situation. From this you certainly shouldn’t hire me as a programmer. (via Daring Fireball)
