Links from June 2007 (Phil Gyford: Links)

Copy Provided Agreement Form (PDF): An example form to use if you're going to act in a no/low budget film and want to use footage for a showreel.
For Actors Homepage: Lots of really good, practical advice for newbie actors, with an emphasis on screen acting.
Sending XHTML as text/html Considered Harmful: Apparently definitive version of why mindlessly doing sites as XHTML is wrong. (via Dotcode)
OmniGraffle Wireframe Palette | urlgreyhot: Looks prettier than the three mediocre wireframe palettes I grudgingly use. (via Blackbeltjones)
Alluc.org - Watch Movies/Cartoons/TV-shows/Animes online!: Links to TV/movies watchable online elsewhere. I keep forgetting the URL.
The new 7digital: MP3s from EMI, cheaper than those from iTunes Music Store. (via Boing Boing)
How children lost the right to roam in four generations | the Daily Mail: Interesting graphic showing one family's increasing restrictions on their children's freedom, over four generations. I wonder how child abduction rates have changed over a similar period. (via Boing Boing)
LISPA - Naropa Alumni: People who were at the college I'm now at.

Jeffrey Zeldman Presents : bgcolor follies: Over a couple of years I've collected a folder full of links to sites that make this careless mistake with the aim of writing just such a post. Now no need. (via Daring Fireball)
MyspaceMP3.org - Download Music from MySpace: Creates links to mp3s of songs in a MySpace page's music player. Try, for example, 'georgepringle'.
McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Now Would Be a Good Time.: They're having a big sale to try and make up for the $130,000 they lost when a distributor went bankrupt. Buy nice stuff! (via Said the Gramophone)
Heaven and Here: Unofficial 'The Wire' weblog. Quiet at the moment, hopefully will start when the next series begins.. (via Said the Gramophone)
YouTube - The Wrong Trousers: Wonderful busking cover of 'Video Killed the Radio Star' by teenage San Diegan buskers, including a harp. (via Said the Gramophone)
Blog.pmarca.com: How to hire the best people you've ever worked with: Interesting read, for if I'm ever in such a situation. From this you certainly shouldn't hire me as a programmer. (via Daring Fireball)

Jeffrey Zeldman Presents : E-mail is not a platform for design: On why non-HTML email is still the way to go. Would be good to have some more facts and figures for ammunition when needed… (via Daring Fireball)
The Profit Calculator — New York Magazine: Examples of where different companies' profits come from. (via Kottke)
Charts - Rate Your Music: Amazing collection of album and single cover images, apparently uploaded by users. eg, click 'singles' and pick a year, any year…
Car Hire Secondary Insurance, Rental Car Insurances.: Dull link, but might be useful next time we go away. Cheaper than rental companies' extortionate excess insurance.
Coudal Partners - The 2012 Olympic Logo: A Rant: London Broil: I hate the 'London' text, and I'm *slightly* nervous about it overall, but generally I agree with every point here. By 2012 the logo will be a familiar friend and few people will hate it. Certainly better than the usual naff Olympic logos. (via Haddock)

The Science Creative Quarterly » The Social Norm of Leaving the Toilet Seat Down: A Game Theoretic Analysis: My efficiency theory has always been that everyone shouldn't move the seat after they've finished. (via Boing Boing)
TV Links: Lots and lots of TV that's been on in the UK to (presumably illegally) watch online. (via Haddock)
Oona Hassim: A friend whose private view I went to this week. Wonderful not-quite-abstract paintings of crowds.
Skoob Homepage: Skoob Books (good second hand bookshop) is back at the Brunswick Centre at last.
London's lack of Mexican (Phil Gyford: Writing): Someone is looking to get involved in "the next big growth market" of Mexican/Latin American food with "funding/strategic development" help.
Peter Van Dijck's Guide to Ease » Blog Archive » A bunch of presentations on scaling websites: twitter, Flickr, Bloglines, Vox and more.: The kind of thing I keep meaning to read up on. (via Kottke)
