Amazon.co.uk: Building Scalable Web Sites: Books: Cal has a book out! Sounds interesting and very useful.
Flickr: The London Flickr Scavenger Hunt: Nice treasure hunt idea -- you're given a set of photos and, I think, you have to go and take identical ones around London. There's one tomorrow.
USSR posters - a photoset on Flickr: 1,500 "Russian and/or Soviet propaganda & advert posters from 1917 to 1991." (via Kottke)
iCal Exchange: "an easy way to publish ... calendars using [iCal's] built-in 'Publish to a web server' mechanism." Been a bit quiet for a while though.

My old college is having a

Analyst Equity: Mid-Atlantic reading on the English: I like the summary of American/English character differences (via ObLinks).
A List Apart: Articles: The Bathing Ape Has No Clothes (and other notes on the distinction between style and design): I'm sure I'll need this again at some point. On why so many "designers" are actually "stylists".
Jacob Borshard: 'The Last Brontosaurus' is my current favourite album and it's free! Treading the fine line between twee and heart-breaking. (via Said the Gramophone)
