- 2lmc spool - Damn Interesting
- I like the spool a lot but “my web-discoverage is pretty organic because I shun memeclouds” is a hilarious phrase. I fear it it's supposed to be serious.
- Archinect : News : Jane Jacobs goes to the great city in the sky
- Fairly detailed obituary/summary. (via City of Sound)
- Jwz - space junk
- Great photos of bits of rockets that have crashed to earth in and around Russia. (via Haddock)
- Mapping religion in America (regionsofmind.blog-city.com)
- Fascinating and attractive maps showing the percentage of residents of all US counties that belong to different religions. (via Plasticbag)
- Google Cartography
- Does a Space Syntax kind of thing using Google Maps. I haven't tried it, but looks interesting. (via Blackbeltjones)
- Francis is » Four unusual hobbies
- Nice grouping of Urban Exploring, Space Hijackers, Confluencing and Guerilla Gardening. Good for the explanation at the end about what they have in common.
- Actors & Writers London
- Someone emailed to point me at this and I'll lose it if I don't link to it. Fortnightly rehearsed readings of new plays.
- Watch these movies, then we can talk (kottke.org)
- Film critic Jim Emerson's list of 102 movies you should see before you're movie literate. At the time of writing I've seen 41 but can remember little about any of them.
- LRB | Steven Shapin : At the Amsterdam
- Review of two books on the history of coffee houses. A fascinating summary of how lively, interesting and important they were. (Subscribers only unfortunately.)
- Quick guide to somewhat advanced JavaScript
- Helping me brush up my entrenched Web 1.0 JavaScript skills.
- Has Futurism Failed?
- Good long summary of the history of futurism (not the art movement) and the state of the industry now. (via Blackbeltjones)

- Web-based job tracking, invoicing, reporting & project management software for the part-time independent contractor. - Side Job Track
- Haven't tried it, but looks good. Not sure why it's only for “part-time” contractors.
- André Carrilho
- Some fab distorted caricatures here. (But what is it with illustrators' websites and endless Flash and pop-up windows? Hello, it's the 21st century, please keep up.) (via Drawn!)
- Hotel • Home
- I love the design of this site's pages (designed by Paul Hetherington built by Dorian Moore). I'm not sure if I love it in spite,or because of it looking more like a paper brochure than a website.
- Haddock Directory
- If you were thinking I've been keeping the site unusuallly up-to-date over recent weeks, it's because an anonymous and glamorous assistant has taken over the task for me. Thank you, glamorous assistant!
- Lily Allen
- Catchy, wonderful tunes. But can I buy them or legally download them? No. Chance of me being sick of them before I can pay for them? High. How silly is the music industry? Very.
- Kyle Reed Illustration | 905.297.9454
- Some of these collage illustrations are great, although I wish he'd use a few more of the original photos' features rather than, say, making eyes out of black and white paper. (via Drawn!)
