Links for Tuesday 25 March 2008

Wikinear.com: Awesome little app by Simon Willison that shows you places near you from Wikipedia, using Yahoo! Fire Eagle. Makes me want an iPhone.
Fawnt - Top free fonts | Font - Archive | Blog Design and Webdesign: What it says. (via Blackbeltjones)
We Are The Lambeth Boys: Really, really lovely 1959 documentary by Karel Reisz about young men and women at a London youth club. Fascinating for both similarities and differences to now. Do watch. 49 mins.
Archive Player - FourDocs - O Dreamland: 1953 Lindsay Anderson film about a fun fair in Margate. A bit dreamy, with sound added after the filming; no authorial voice over or interviews. (Click 'Play' button for tiny but full-length screening.)
Alexandre Day: I like these drawings. Verge slightly on the too twee, with those winsome eyes, but I love the marks. (via Drawn!)
