IanVisits London Events Guide: Fantastic guide of interesting things going on in London. I'd like an iCal file, but otherwise, handy stuff. (via Simon Willison)
Spotify + sharemyplaylists.com = good: I had exactly the same problem with Spotify — unsure what to listen to. ShareMyPlaylists does seem like a good way in.
Spotify playlist: Chart Hits 83: I made a playlist of that K-Tel double cassette compilation I was banging on about a while back. A few omissions, but otherwise it's all there.

12:09pm: Heading to Trafalgar Square to see my old friend Simon on the plinth at 2pm. No idea what his plans are, if any. #oneandother
01:02pm: Si is now on the plinth, cycling on the spot. The staff were worried about stability so insisted he have a pole to hold on to. #oneandother
02:02pm: I must be getting old... JCB drivers are getting younger and younger. #oneandother
05:48pm: An afternoon of BP Portrait Awards and hanging out round Cov Gdn. Now homing in on @Schulze Day.
08:19pm: @plasticbagUK The odd thing about the news business model is that nearly all news shows are the same: priorities, design, philosophy, etc.
09:27pm: "And finally..." humorous bits at the end of TV news make me want to reach through the screen and bang the news reader's head on their desk.
