- Links for Wednesday 1 April 2009
- Home Page | Flat World Knowledge
- Creative Commons licensed textbooks, written by "experts" and peer-reviewed, which are then free to read online (or pay for a printable version). Little available right now, but promising. (via Preoccupations)
- SprogBlog: more than numbers
- My awesome friend Annie on a week shadowing a midwife in Uganda. In case you need to put your life in some perspective.
- Dave Gorman: When Twitter Gets Weird…
- On how offended some people apparently get if you don't follow them back on Twitter. Craziness. (via Meg Pickard)
- Wrong Tomorrow - pundits vs. time
- A fabulous way to record what predictions pundits make and keep track of how often they're wrong (or right; you never know).
- Wikibooks
- How have I not seen this before? "Wikibooks is a Wikimedia community for creating a free library of educational textbooks that anyone can edit." Nice.
- How To Make Your Own Books From Wikipedia | MakeUseOf.com
- Couldn't be easier. (1) Create a Wikipedia account. (2) Add pages to your book. (3) Download a PDF or order a bound copy. Very, very good.
- Trying to remember what this is from… on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

'The World Turned Upside Down' (by Leon Rosselon in 1975, recorded by Billy Bragg ten years later) is a modernised version of 'The Diggers' Song', a 17th century ballad. More at Wikipedia.
