  1. Creating prototypes with OmniGraffle | urlgreyhot

    Not very complicated, but a good idea and a nicely done demo. (via ChrisDodo)

  2. Playwright Nina Raine on the difficulties of directing your own work | | Guardian Unlimited Arts

    What it says.

  3. Karen Scott Photography

    Photographer who does actors’ headshots, apparently popular with people at college in the past, for future reference.

  4. The London School of Osteopathy

    Someone at college was recommending these folks as a reasonably cheap way of getting a work-over. For future reference.

  5. The Ten Thousand Things

    I was following this eclectic MP3 blog a while back and somehow missed that Blake Leyh is also music supervisor on ‘The Wire’, which you must watch if you haven’t already.

  6. Dion Hinchcliffe’s Web 2.0 Blog

    Lots of very funny, obfuscatory and incomprehensible diagrams about Web 2.0. Couldn’t be spoofed better. I thought diagrams were supposed to make things *simpler*. (via Haddock)

  7. How to Install Two Versions of IE (IE6 and IE7) on One Machine

    Looks a bit laborious but might be handy sometime.

  8. vi-R-us » Blog Archive » Planets

    Total Perspective Vortext / Powers of Ten style images to make you feel very, very tiny.

  9. World Geography Quizzes - Hundreds of Map Games

    Loads of very good educational map games for dumbos like me. (via Haddock)

  10. Caledonian Global Challenge - Caledonian Business School

    Europe-based map game. I’m embarrassingly poor at even this. (via Haddock)

  11. Geosense: an online world geography game

    What it says. Good one, you can play against others (or click ‘Visit’ then ‘Play alone’). (via Haddock)

  12. World Map - countries of the world

    Educational map game (my geography is terrible). (via Haddock)

  13. Voice of a City Paris

    A group blog about Paris — get the hang of the place from what the locals say I think.

  14. Things magazine - Images from The Wood-Engravings of Robert Gibbings

    Nice wood cuts, for inspiration. (via ChrisDodo)

  15. eG Forums -> Best Pastry/Cake shops in London?

    Mmmmm… cake. To my shame I haven’t even heard of most of these. Must explore… (via ChrisDodo)

  16. BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Musical copyright terms ‘to stay’

    Yay. Is making money off your work fifty years after you did it not good enough!?

  17. Hawk Wings

    Apple Mail blog. I was thinking of switching to Apple Mail from Eudora when I saved this link, but probably won’t now. But just in case…

  18. Twitter / philgyford

    I’m enjoying Twitter much, much more than I thought I would. Strangely addictive, and I love hearing what my friends are up to during the day. All a bit oddly broadcast rather than conversational, but still nice.

  19. LRB | Jonathan Lear : Can the virtuous person exist in the modern world?

    More ethics, morality, philosophy stuff for me to delve into one mythical day when I have loads more time to read books. (Subscribers only)

  20. Codejedi.com - Home of Shadow Plan for Palm OS

    Notebook, outliner, etc to maybe try one day, although the website design makes me distrust the software before I’ve even looked at it.

  21. Mori | Hog Bay Software

    Mac notebook app to try one day. Maybe I can sync it with my Treo somehow?

  22. Piano Forums at Piano World: Digital Pianos - Synths & Keyboards

    The web is oddly thin on the ground when it comes to reviews of digital pianos. Some discussion here though.

  23. Aurelian Koch

    This chap teaches one of our classes at LISPA and he showed us some of these photos. Fab costumes and seats made using some interesting materials.

  24. Theatre of All Possibilities - Gallery

    Interesting-looking London/Santa Fe theatre company, and these videos hint at doing interesting things with computer generated stuff.

  25. Indie-Film Star ‘Suicide’ Stunner By Philip Messing, Mark Bulliet and Dan Mangan - New York Post Online Edition: Seven

    Hell. Adrienne Shelly, who starred in Hal Hartley’s ‘The Unbelievable Truth’ and ‘Trust’ (two of my favourite films) has “apparently” committed suicide. I was always surprised she wasn’t in more films.

  26. Last.fm Site Updates – Last.fm

    A prayer is answered and a miracle happens: A decent way of finding out about gigs you might be interested in has appeared, and Last.fm gets even better. You need to log in to see it though.

  27. YouTube - Torn

    Caught this performance while flipping channels the other night and liked it a lot. The Internet’s great when you can just point at bits of TV like this.

  28. Los Campesinos! | Nothing But Green Lights: A UK mp3 blog.

    Also loving ‘You! Me! Dancing!’. Fun!

  29. Music: Pocketbooks: Indie-Pop | Nothing But Green Lights: A UK mp3 blog.

    Loving this song. The first to feature an Oyster Card and London Underground fare boundaries? Sometimes it’s like Sarah Records never went away.

  30. Guardian Unlimited Arts | Arts features | Steve Rose on the renaissance of the Brunswick Centre

    And the history of the its birth. It looks lovely now, and could only be improved by the reappearance of Skoob Books and by calling it the “Brunswick Centre” instead of the “Brunswick”. Stupid pointless re-branding. (via Blech)
