- Whoops! by John Lanchester
Whoops! is very good indeed. It explains the recent financial crash in clear and entertaining terms, and puts the size of the problem in perspective. An easy but very interesting read. Recommended. The bits below are mostly tangential to the details of the crash itself, but are the bits that I’d have turned page corners down for if I wasn’t unduly precious about my books.

- Collective2 - Find the trading strategy best for you
- A site for finding different stock market trading algorithms. Some very nice touches, but still bewildering to me. I could get so lost in this stuff if I had the time. (via Tom Taylor)
- Isotope
- Blimey, that's a whizzy bit of jQuery for rearranging things on a page. I'm expecting to see a whole lot of that soon. (via Daring Fireball)
- BBC - WW2 People's War
- At least one of those BBC sites, a good one, threatened with deletion/archiving/whatever is already archived by the British Library here. I haven't looked for others.
