Links from September 2008 (Phil Gyford: Links)

Winner of the Personal Visualization Project is… | FlowingData: Oodles of pretty and obsessive charting of personal data. (via Boing Boing)
The School Of Life - Homepage: "A new cultural enterprise based in central London offering intelligent instruction on how to lead a fulfilled life." A religion without religion? Intriguing. (via Kottke)
43 Folders: Time, Attention, and Creative Work | 43 Folders: This post and a couple of other recent ones by Merlin Mann about his refocusing have been really inspiring. Great stuff. (via Kottke and Daring Fireball)
David Foster Wallace (Harper's Magazine): Harper's have put all their DFW writing online. 'Shipping Out' is one of my favourite reads. (via Kottke)
Citadel Miniatures: Proof that large chunks of my memories will sooner or later appear, scanned, online. Fantastic.
Locating Postboxes - Dracos.co.uk: Matthew Somerville's new thing — help locate post boxes for OpenStreetMap etc.
YouTube - The Late Edition - Britain's Own War On Christmas: Watch for the first 2 minutes 30 seconds rant about Christians complaining that "Christianity is under attack". Brilliant. (via Haddock)

Stefan Glerum: I'm liking this chap's black and white illustrations so far. Dark and humorous. (via Drawn)
Daytum: Lets you keep track of any kind of daily data you like and graph it. Brilliant. I don't often think "I wish I'd thought of that" but… (via Kottke)
Futurelab - Innovation in education: "Transforming the way people learn through innovative technology and practice." Interesting looking place, based in Bristol.
Pillow Speaker With Volume Control: Electronics & Photo: Amazon.co.uk: Years ago I tried a Laurie Anderson sculpture that pretty much did just this and it was lovely. Hmm… (via Haddock)
Illustration Friday: A different topic every week for you to create an illustration about. Lovely idea. Why are there so few hours in the day and days in the week? I want to do everything. (via Haddock)
Rule Forty Two - » Welcome to the Future: Scroll some way through for evaluations of how futurists' predictions turned out. (Although the futurists I know never called them "predictions" because we know they're never 100% correct.) (via Boing Boing)
Superstruct! Play the game, invent the future. | The Institute For The Future: "The world’s first massively multiplayer forecasting game." Interesting. There's either a lot more futures stuff around at the moment, or I'm just stumbling across more of it. (via Wonderland)

Ukelele - Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor: Could be your solution if you're trying to use a UK Windows keyboard (or something else non-Apple) with a Mac.
Foresight Education Project: A new wiki about teaching foresight / futures / etc. Includes course outlines etc. Promising.
Opentape: Host-your-own version of Muxtape. What happens when a centralised system is squashed by lawyers: thousands of individual versions flower around the edges. (via Infovore)
David Rumsey Collection: Oodles of old maps, vieweable at satisfyingly high resolutions. Mostly 18th/19th century, mostly North/South America but a few others too.
Classic-Space LEGO: content / greebling: a closer look: "Greebling" is my new favourite word. (via Infovore)
Playlists and Archives for Mudd Up! with DJ/Rupture: New favourite podcast. Completely corking. I think it's what characters in William Gibson novels listen to.
