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

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

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

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

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

  6. Simple and useful CSS template for font sizes

  7. Setting the maximum width of HTML/CSS elements

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

  8. 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.

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

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

    A bit buggy at the moment.

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

  12. What she said: Eeek!

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

    They make the mistake of emphasising ward boundaries — which no one outside local politics knows — over roads.

  14. Good notes from Jeff Veen: “When Web design is practiced as a craft, and not a consolation, accessibility comes for free.”

  15. Pixy’s very handy collection of web authoring bookmarklets

  16. My photos from London Transport Museum

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

  18. 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!

  19. Strangely inspiring article about a woman moving to a remote Finnish island

    She appears to have the Internet, so it could be worse.

  20. Green ISP - sustainable and generally nice-looking ISP

  21. Fascinating interview with a US medical corps soldier in Iraq

  22. Justin Hall’s donation-ware guide to Tokyo

  23. How to glue This to That

  24. Stewart Butterfield’s buddy icon mosaic

    What’s surprising is how much familiar faces (friends’ icons and re-purposed images) stand out from the crowd.

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

    At bottom of page. For Macs.

  26. 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.

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

  28. Awesome: Ishkur’s Guide to Electronic Music

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

  29. Keyring: Free Palm app for storing passwords and seekrit things

  30. Paul Morley’s Top Ten(ish) Books. Fun stuff.

    No idea what date that was published on though.
