Buildings and Food: How to look at billboards: Brilliant essay from 1960 about how outdoor advertising is entirely wrong. Wish I'd written it. When I rule the world outdoor advertising will be banned. (via Kottke)
Modern History: Awesome stuff: "a series of collages assembled exclusively from screen grabs of Youtube videos." Free printable versions too. Remind me of John Martin paintings. (via Kottke)
Readernaut: Nicely done site for not only logging your reading but keeping notes on it too.
Scottberkun.com » #50 - Advice for new managers: pt. 1: A good couple of essays on being a manager. I find this stuff fascinating, although I'm not a manager.
